Pursuing Independence Through Fitness
Our Mission at Fitness 4 Focus
At Fitness 4 Focus, we are dedicated to affecting change in the lives of all athletes, regardless of their cognitive and developmental abilities. Our fitness program is designed to push athletes physically and mentally, helping them develop the confidence and independence they need to succeed in the gym and in life. By mastering tasks and overcoming obstacles, our athletes build the strength and confidence they need to thrive in all aspects of their lives.
Who We Serve
We serve athletes with all abilities, including those impacted by intellectual, physical, mental, and sensory diagnoses that affect their ability to perform certain activities. Our trainers work with athletes who have a wide range of diagnoses, including Attention-Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Asperger's Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Emotional Disturbance, Intellectual Disability (ID), Learning Disabilities (LD), Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), Stroke Survivors, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and more.
Our Services
At Fitness 4 Focus, we offer a variety of services designed to help our athletes achieve their goals. Our trainers are dedicated to helping our athletes develop their strength, coordination, confidence, and independence.
Strength
Our focus on strength includes more than just developing weak or atrophied muscle groups. Our trainers test the mental fortitude of our athletes by facilitating strenuous situations and studying the response. By building more than just physical strength, our trainers help our athletes develop the emotional strength and resolve they need to overcome challenges.
Coordination
We serve a wide variety of people, many of whom suffer from mobility issues and/or need additional guidance to perform exercises correctly. Our trainers are skilled at helping our athletes improve their coordination, and we use a variety of techniques to make exercise less stressful and more rewarding.
Confidence
We believe that individuals with developmental and cognitive delays deserve to feel a sense of accomplishment when they achieve something. Our curriculum model intentionally reinforces this feeling in our athletes every time they complete a set of exercises. By becoming physically stronger and more coordinated, our athletes develop the confidence they need to succeed in the gym and in life.
Independence
When our athletes combine their increased strength, coordination, and confidence, we see their independence flourish. We encourage our athletes to transition to working out at a public gym, and we have faith in their potential to become independent athletes. By mastering tasks and overcoming obstacles, our athletes develop the autonomy they need to achieve their goals and pursue their passions.
Individualized Fitness Coaching
We have created a fitness program that challenges our athletes both physically and mentally. Our trainers focus on four main areas in each session: strength, coordination, confidence, and independence. By mastering tasks and overcoming obstacles, our athletes develop the confidence they need to thrive in the gym and beyond.
Fit Friends Group Sessions
Fit Friends was developed to improve our athletes' physical fitness in a setting focused on peer interaction. Our athletes can expect to work up a sweat while working on communication. The goal is to become more fit while making new friends.
School and Summer Camp Fitness
We can also come to you! We offer 30-minute and 60-minute sessions in school, at your camp, or at the gym. Our workouts are 100% adaptable to each athlete's needs, with a focus on ability over disability. Our curriculum will encourage, support, and push our athletes to become more active and pursue independence.
