In 2015 we launched our first Fitness program geared towards youth and young women with developmental delays, both cognitive & physical. Since then our Adaptive program has evolved and has been a staple in our gym accommodating individuals with special needs. These adaptations aim to create an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone can participate and benefit from the principles of CrossFit training.
The focus remains on functional movements that improve overall strength, mobility, and coordination. Coaches modify workouts to include exercises that are suitable and beneficial for individuals with varying abilities. Our athletes are provided coaching and support with help from volunteers, they offer guidance, encouragement, and assistance as needed throughout the training sessions.
CFK fosters a culture of acceptance, support, and respect for individuals with special needs, ensuring that everyone feels valued and included.
It's important to recognize that the specific approach to incorporating individuals with special needs into CrossFit training can vary depending on the capabilities and requirements of each participant. We at CrossFit Kitchener accommodate our adaptive athletes with careful consideration and sensitivity, aiming to create an empowering and supportive fitness experience for all participants.
