First gym specifically designed for people with ASD!

Hello Redditors!

I work with a gym called ASD Fitness Center in Orange, Connecticut. ASD Fitness Center provides a safe, comfortable and structured environment for empowering individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to improve their level of physical fitness. Co-founders Adam and Dedra Leapley were inspired to create a specialized gym for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder based on their own experience of raising a child with ASD. Adam, believing in an overall healthy mind and body, introduced his son to personal training. This led to improvements in his son’s level of fitness and social/emotional well-being. After floating the idea to professionals in the field of ASD, he found there was a great enthusiasm for this concept and decided to move forward. Today, we have over 80+ families who attend our gym and we are close to full capacity! If you or someone you know may be interested in joining our gym or want more information, please visit asdfitnesscenter.com
