I'm very impressed by the ease with which the instructors interact with their students. They encourage participants to push themselves when appropriate and know when to back off. They are respectful of the unique needs of each student and try to move them past their own sticking points.

Special Strong had been a saving grace for my dad. After a long stent in the hospital and rehab, we chose this gym to continue to improve and get back to the norms of daily life and fitness. Jeff (trainer) has shown a high level of expertise and sincere care in adapting the exercise programs to the needs of my dad’s continued strength and agility abilities. Special Strong is inclusive of all recoveries and ages and we feel honored to be a part of this gym’s program!

Your kind words are much appreciated! Coach Jeff has been a blessing to us and has touched many lives already! George's determination has been an inspiration to all of us at Special Strong.

Jeff is amazing! He’s the most caring trainer who ever helped me. He thinks outside the box of ways to help me improve and gives me hope that I can get better. I’ve gone to regular PT for years and it is so narrowly focused that I didn’t really see much improvement. The Special Strong concept of helping people with disabilities and whole body approach is excellent! I’m so happy with the service that I’m getting.

We absolutely love what they are doing! They have a great way of implementing education into exercises all while making it fun. We also love that it is specialized to our unique kiddos. I have seen so much growth in Morgan! She has a lot more ROM (range of motion), confidence, and is excited to participate in weekly exercise classes with Special Strong.

We have seen a change as well in Morgan! Everyone has unique challenges and they look different for everyone. We love having Morgan and her "shy", but BIG personality as apart of the Special Strong family!

Aside from the personalized workouts, the understanding the trainers have of the nature of life with a special needs person is such a relief! Things can be unpredictable, and the trainers with Special Strong completely understand and roll with the changes with consideration and compassion, which isn't always the case.

Thank you! Understanding and being able to handle every situation has been a quality we definitely pride ourselves on. Our experience with anyone with special needs is that we don't treat them differently than from anyone else. Positive reinforcement and genuine care goes a long way!

Special Strong has been a huge part in my daughters attempt to help get her type 2 diabetes under control. The coaches are amazing and have helped her self esteem and confidence grow. I would recommend anyone with a physical or intellectual disability check them out. You won’t be disappointed. I love the entire program. They offer so many different opportunities for my daughter to work out. The coaches are amazing. Several of the coaches have become special friends. They support my daughter in other areas of her life. The coaches also make the workout fun. Anna enjoys the classes she attends.

Special Strong has been exactly what my daughter needs. It has helped her get stronger and also introduced her to working out in a gym. It can be hard to find a workout situation for a kid with unique challenges. Special Strong’s trainers adapt everything specifically for my daughter’s needs so I know she is safe, while also targeting areas where she can gain strength. We are thrilled with them! Mike Lutey is amazing at adapting workouts to my daughters’ needs. My daughter now really wants to work out. Plus she was never able to participate in a mainstream class or feel comfortable knowing how to use gym equipment and I feel like her work with Mike will help her be able to continue working out for the rest of her life. It has been just what she needed!

Mike Lutey understand the special needs health journey and is provide meaningful cardio and strength development for my daughter Arabella. Patience and understanding of the needs of individuals with physical and mental limitations. We have attended lots of adaptive recreation but Special Strong is the first place that is making sure the exercise has a meaningful impact on our personal fitness.

Showing our young adults that fitness can be fun, while doing something physically heathly for themselves is what we strive for! She is such an amazing person, and we love getting to know her better each and everyday. Quite the character with the heart of gold.
