Daniel P.

“It is wonderful to be able to do what you truly feel called to do every day. I have always enjoyed working with people who have disabilities, but it was previously only in volunteer settings. Special Strong has given me the opportunity to use my skills and gifts in a way that makes a difference in people's lives. They are very supportive and facilitate my success as a trainer in any way they can. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have a career with them!"

"Working at Special Strong has given me the opportunity to combine both of my passions, fitness and working with clients and their families. Daniel and Trinity go above and beyond, not just to their clients and community, but to their staff as well. I love my job because I see the positive impact that we are making in our client's lives when they realize that they are stronger and more independent. Not many people can say that they love their job, but I am one of the blessed few who can."
