WHAT WE OFFER AND WHO WE SERVE

We will meet you where you are…

We design customized fitness programs for children and adults of all ages with special challenges such as a developmental disabilities that may include: Autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorders, and Downs Syndrome, and medical conditions such as Diabetes, high blood pressure, Scoliosis, MS, Stroke victims and Spina Bifida.

No Matter When You Begin…We Can Help!

Someone with a de-conditioned body will not want to travel or go to public places for fear that they have to walk too far or because they may need assistance using public restroom facilities.

When the body is not strong and flexible, especially as people age, they are likely to find that they cannot reach up into the top cabinets in the kitchen or easily get in and out of a car.

Eventually the individual becomes limited even further because climbing stairs becomes difficult and could restrict one to living on the ground floor.

Without daily physical activity, with each passing year, the human body becomes increasingly limited and the quality of life diminishes.

But no matter what shape you are in or how long you have been inactive, we will do our best to meet you where you are – with care, compassion and a sense of exuberance about fitness and utilizing our bodies regardless of individual limitations or challenges.

We will take you where you want to go!

Instead of giving into a lifestyle of inactivity, we believe that the right kind of fitness program encourages proper nutrition and healthy habits, fostering a strong mind-body-spirit connection.

We believe that everyone enjoys improved health and a sense of well-being with daily exercise and fitness training carefully and thoughtfully designed to address individual challenges.

Our Fitness Programs

Our fitness programs include aerobic exercises to develop and maintain a healthy and strong heart, and increase lung capacity; stretching exercises to maintain flexibility; and weight training to strengthen the muscles with the goal of achieving and maintaining core stabilization.

Most importantly we are committed to improving and maintaining ‘functional fitness’ that helps individuals with daily functional living skills and promotes positive social interaction.

Our aerobics training includes: Zumba and other popular dance-exercise programs. We encourage a healthy level of flexibility through yoga, pilates and a range of basic stretching exercises.

Our weight training includes working with free weights, exercise machines, stability balls, water aerobics/gait training and more.
