Luke has worked out with Special Strong for about 9 years. Currently he works out with Brig and Brian. Brig has extensive knowledge of muscle structure. She pushes Luke to have a healthy body that will keep him moving. Brian has a love for his clients and wants them to be strong. The two may have different approaches but are equally valuable to Luke's continued success. They are both like family.

Special Strong has been such a positive part of my husband’s recovery after his brain injury. Justin is patient, knowledgeable, and does a great job meeting him where he is while still helping him build strength and confidence. They do a great job tracking progress, so being able to see how much my husband has improved over time is incredibly encouraging. I’m so grateful for the care and dedication that is brought to every session.

Special Strong can adapt to any level of special needs to provide not only an effective physical training to meet clients "where they're at", but also a caring and social interaction with trainers which so many of the clients "on the spectrum" need.

My son has become more confident in himself and his ability to become physically fit and lose weight. This would not have been the case if he did not meet his trainer, Adam, who inspires him to do his best. We are thankful for his patience and encouragement. Special Strong is the best!

Our family loves Special Strong. Our 17 year old son has been apart of this program for over two years and we have seen such changes for the better. Not only does he have confidence in himself, gotten strong, lost weight but this workout has also helped his occupational skills, physical skills and his cognitive abilities. We are beyond thankful for this program.

My son has been a part of special strong for five plus years. It has made a tremendous difference and his strength, coordination, and balance. Not only has there been a physical improvement but there's been an emotional and mental improvement too. His self-confidence has increased greatly. My child would not be the same without special strong.

Tim gained significant strength and flexibility from weekly sessions with coach Dylan.
Dori W.
Special Strong is a compassionate and professional service that I would personally recommend to anyone who needs an adaptive fitness program. My brother's trainer, Dylan is always on time, keeps us in the loop with texts and gives my brother a workout that he loves. He always looks forward to his workouts and his mood seems to lighten after each session. Thanks to Dylan and Special Strong for the positive outlook and professionalism. You have made a great difference in my brother's life and for that we are extremely grateful!

Chris T.
My son, who has a brittle bone condition, worked with Daniel for six months to develop custom workout programs that are safe and increase his strength and endurance. We absolutely love Daniel. He is very supportive and understanding about the challenges that result from my son’s condition and was flexible to accommodate recovery workouts when fatigue or injuries (not due to the workouts) occurred. He covers everything from proper workout form, safety, nutrition and even additional supports as needed. The workouts are fun too. Most of all, he is a real mentor that has helped my son cultivate the habit to be responsible to care for his body so that it can last him a lifetime. We highly recommend Daniel or anyone from Special Strong.

Special Strong has been amazing for our son with autism. His coordination has improved so much and he is gaining some muscle! His coach is super encouraging and really helps build his self-esteem. Special Strong has been a HUGE blessing! We are so thankful we found Special Strong!
Sharisa L.
Special Strong has such amazing team and coaches. Our autism son was so much more relaxed, confident and happy in the tough teen years with these workouts. The workouts build strength, agility and more in a fun routine that meets the individual's needs. Highly recommend doing a trial class. You'll be begging for more.
Karen H.
Great for social interaction and fun athletic class!

I love it

Special Strong has been awesome for our son. His trainer communicates well and plans workouts that are challenging. His trainer also takes time to teach proper form which has really reduced injuries and setbacks.

Daniel was able to evaluate and prioritize fitness targets for my mentally and physically handicapped adult sister. He has a positive energy that makes for an enjoyable training experience.

My daughter Joy loves the workouts at Special Strong. Coach Adam keeps things moving and makes the workout fun! This is a great program to improve physical fitness for the special needs community!
Barbara L.
I was looking for something for my son with Down Syndrome to pull him out of the depression of losing his job to Covid and this experience has been wonderful for him! Not only the physical activity but the kindness and encouragement that has been shown to both of us has been inspiring. Highly recommend this program because these people REALLY are genuine and care about their clients.
Eric V.
I love what you do Daniel! Your profession and specialty is very admirable. And to so many people you remind us all to be better people and do more for others. Keep up the good work!

This organization deserves to be featured across the Country as an innovative leader in the service industry for differently abled individuals. Their Adaptive & Inclusive Fitness Training is motivational, inspiring and most importantly provides health and wellness benefits to a population which is often unable to access conventional programs. As the parent of a 24 year old multiply disabled young man, I would love to see a program like this developed in our area! Please spread the word about Special Strong!
Kerry O.
Daniel and his clients have reminded me that anything is possible which has inspired me to rekindle my exercise routine. I have now accomplished physical feats I never thought possible. Thanks you all!!

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.
