Something amazing is happening—and YOU’RE invited to be part of it!
We’re bringing Special Strong’s mission to West Chicagoland with a Fall Fitness Festival and grand opening celebration that welcomes families from all across the community.
We know inclusive fitness opportunities can be hard to find, especially for individuals with special needs. That’s why Special Strong exists—our mission is to empower children, adults, and veterans with mental, physical, and cognitive challenges through adaptive fitness.
Now, we’re thrilled to extend that mission into West Chicagoland. Join us for an afternoon filled with healthy snacks, exciting activities, music, and fun—and see firsthand what makes our community strong!

Why People Love Special Strong
Families tell us time and again they’ve been waiting years for a place like this.
Special Strong was founded because traditional gyms weren’t designed with adaptive needs in mind. Our certified trainers specialize in supporting individuals with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, MS, and many other challenges.
And “boring workouts”? That’s not us—we make fitness fun, engaging, and empowering!
Everything we do is backed by science and built to strengthen the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. With communities nationwide already experiencing the difference, we’re beyond excited to bring this life-changing mission to West Chicagoland.
This Isn’t Just Another Gym Opening
We’re beyond excited to celebrate Special Strong’s arrival in West Chicagoland!
This isn’t just a party—it’s a Fall Fitness Festival and your chance to meet our incredible trainers and inspiring athletes who are already experiencing the life-changing impact of adaptive fitness.
Special Strong isn’t just another gym. We specialize in autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and more—delivering real results through programs that empower athletes to live healthier, more abundant lives.
Join us at The Renaissance Room – Knights of Columbus in Elmhurst on Saturday, October 18th from 12 PM – 3 PM for a free, family-friendly celebration filled with games, music, healthy snacks, and fun activities for all ages. Most importantly, come see what makes Special Strong such a powerful resource for families in our community.
