Special Strong Trainers

Each child, adolescent, and adult with special needs or other disabilities have their own unique needs. That's why we don't believe in "one size fits all" training programs. Our certified and highly vetted personal trainers create movement-based adaptive fitness programs that are customized for each individual's needs. Special Strong personal trainers are skilled in designing adaptive fitness workout programs, de-escalating anxiety, and making workouts feel rewarding. Our trainers are friendly and caring, providing full mental and emotional support while teaching adaptive exercises in a safe environment.

Testimonials

Our Clients Love It

My child loves the group class. He mostly enjoys getting out of the house-the social aspect of working, being around others like him. It is a good mix of balance, cardio, and strength. Surprisingly, my child works hard and doesn't even whine when things challenge him. I'm very satisfied with the patient, knowledgeable trainers and challenging program.

CHRISTIE J. (ERIN)
Since starting Special Strong in 2016, my son, Robert, has fewer meltdowns and has developed more endurance for physical activity. Robert needed an outlet to manage his meltdowns and help with flexibility. He can now endure over an hour of physical activity and started playing multiple sports! Robert's teachers have told us how much improvement they have seen in his behavior and he is learning to listen and follow directions without my having to be there to ensure that he listens to his instructor. I also got to speak with a nutritionist through this program. She helped Robert to develop better-eating habits which resulted in losing over twenty pounds! I am so grateful for Special Strong and everything they have done with my family.

JENNIFER H. (ROBERT)
Over the past two years, my son was diagnosed with several medical conditions. He lost so much physically, spiritually, and emotionally. As he began to heal, I knew more could be accomplished. I found a personal trainer and a nutritionist through Special Strong. They have brought life back into my son. Thank you, Special Strong, for giving me my son back.
