238. Empowering Wellness: TruFit's Adaptive & Inclusive Fitness Revolution (w/ founders Adam & John White)


Listen Later

Friends, grab your workout pants because this episode is all about the positive effects of health, and wellness, and how fitness is for everyone—especially our loved ones with DS.


We’re thrilled to talk with TruFit’s founders, John & Adam White, on the show! Today they share how in 2010, they identified an unmet need within the fitness community, prompting them to establish TruFit Adaptive Fitness. Thirteen years later, their solution is clear: TruFit Adaptive Fitness uses technology to provide fitness solutions for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and today they share the vision that fitness is for everyone. 


The TruFit community is doing some revolutionary things by building the fundamental positive message around fitness with modified exercise workouts tailored for specific disabilities. 


From community events to collaborating with local OT, PT, and adaptive PE Coaches and healthcare providers to empowering parents. They are making health and wellness inclusive and comprehensive. Let’s go!

      THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR:

      Thank you, AbleNow for sponsoring this episode!


      ABLEnow accounts are the result of a grassroots, cross-disability advocacy effort. The idea originated with a group of parents who recognized the inequity of not being able to save money in their child’s name for fear of losing essential benefits (such as Medicaid).

       

      These advocates helped to change the law, so people with disabilities can achieve a better life experience.

       

      Today, ABLEnow accounts are available to qualified individuals in all 50 states.

       

      Learn if you, or someone you know, is eligible for an ABLEnow account at ABLEnow.com
