For Adults with Special Needs: Better with Barbells Exercise Program

Good morning everyone,

One of our coaches, Alyx McKee, is starting a new program for adults with special needs, called Better with Barbells, starting October 1st and running until Christmas time.

Exercise program for adults with special needs

Better with Barbells is a health and fitness program at Strength School designed to help adults with special needs get stronger and healthier while improving confidence and creating new friendships. The program will include one hour weight lifting sessions on Tuesday mornings at Strength School in Martinsville, led by Alyx. There are no other classes or clients in the gym Tuesday mornings, and Alyx will be leading small classes of five adults at once, allowing for privacy and comfort.

Each participant will receive a Better with Barbells t-shirt, along with a booklet detailing healthy recipes, a weekly at-home workout, and nutrition tracking. Our gym in Martinsville is just five minutes off of the highway and easily accessible from Bloomington, Mooresville, and Greenwood. We welcome participants from all communities.

  • What: a health and fitness program for adults with special needs

  • Where: Strength School gym in Martinsville, 165 Morton Avenue

  • When: October 2019 through December 2019
