Personal Training For People With Disabilities

Developmental Fitness Company caters to the needs, personalities, and fitness goals of those with mental, physical, developmental and emotional challenges. The mission statement of Developmental Fitness Company corners four key values, through inclusion in physical fitness programming under the direction of a compassionate personal trainer brings about true challenge. It is through collaboration with the YMCA that Developmental Fitness Company is able to offer their unique services. Most of Developmental Fitness Company’s clientele can attend their sessions at a YMCA facility, however, for those unable to utilize outside facilities, Developmental Fitness Company is able to offer their services at a location that is convenient to the individual or in home. In order to get started with Developmental Fitness Company’s personal training sessions, individuals are required to have primary physician approval as well as complete a health history questionnaire. Clientele of Developmental Fitness Company can expect an increase in flexibility, strength, endurance, movement, and weight loss if needed through strength training, supervised and calibrated cardiovascular exercise and stretching.
