LET’S WORKOUT!
Within our Health and Wellness Pillar, the Buddy Up Fitness program is an ongoing High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) class designed specifically for those with Down syndrome ages 12+. The fitness program combines cardiovascular and strength training elements with particular emphasis on core strengthening. Athletes individually progress through multiple levels of exercises as their endurance and strength improves.
Our Buddy Up Fitness Trainers are Licensed Personal Trainers who have also completed our unique training. Volunteer Buddies oversee each exercise station and work with our Athletes to provide support and feedback, ensure safety, proper technique, and track progress. Fitness exercises consist of a variety of body weight and free-weight movements that allow for the program to be run with minimal use of complex equipment or machines. Buddy Up Fitness is filled with challenges and enjoyment to help our Athletes improve their physical fitness and achieve their personal best.
