ABOUT US
Helping People Live
Independent & Abundant
By 21, founder Daniel Stein had faced a learning disability, a mood disorder, and autoimmune disease, and used exercise to overcome all three. That experience became a calling. In 2016, Daniel and his wife Trinity launched Special Strong to give people with physical, mental, and cognitive challenges the same chance to grow stronger, today reaching children, teens, and adults across the country.
Our NASM, NFPT, and ACSM certified trainers specialize in adaptive fitness.
Every program is built around each person's abilities, goals, and pace.
Our Core Values
At Special Strong, our culture runs on the STRONG values: the principles that guide how we serve every person who walks through our doors.
Stewardship
We steward our time, talent, and care faithfully, putting the safety and growth of our clients and team first.
"Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much."
Luke 16:10
Transparency
We are real people, real with people: honest, open, and willing to confront what needs to grow.
"And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
John 8:32
Relationship Focused
We put relationships first and profit second, leading every action with the "why" behind what we do.
"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Matthew 6:33
Ownership
We own our roles and take full responsibility, taking initiative and welcoming honest feedback to grow.
“You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things." Matthew 25:23
No Judgment
We seek to understand each person's walk of life, accepting others where they are: physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
“Do for others what you would like them to do for you."
Matthew 7:12
Generosity
We are blessed to be a blessing, generous with our time, talent, and encouragement to our community.
"Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully." 2 Corinthians 9:6
