We crossed the finish line at the Flutie 5K and we’re still moving!

More than 50 athletes, families and coaches joined Team Inclusive Fitness last Sunday and so many supporters have donated to the Inclusive Fitness Scholarship Fund over the last few months.

We're incredibly grateful to everyone who came out to run, walk and cheer on race day. So proud of our athletes who worked hard in the gym and logged many miles to get ready! And everyone who donated - and who believes in what we're doing – your support means so much!

A BIG thank you to the Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism for bringing this community together each year. We love being a part of it!

At Inclusive Fitness, neurodivergent athletes of all ages and abilities have a place where they belong - a community of athletes, friends and coaches who believe in what's possible.

We meet each person where they are, presume competence and give them the opportunity to try and go further.

That's why our Scholarship Fund matters - we're raising funds to help make fitness accessible, to lower barriers and raise the bar, for more athletes and families.

We're SO close to our fundraising goal. There’s still time to donate, and we’d love your support.

We're still smiling about Sunday's Flutie 5K for Autism!

More than 50 Inclusive Fitness athletes, families and coaches came out to run, walk, cheer each other on and enjoy a beautiful morning together!

So much to celebrate! One of our athletes completed her first-ever 5K run with Coach Kristin, and three of our runners were flying down the course with Coach Tal in the Chirichella Adaptive Division!

Another athlete helped out at the IF table, checking people in and answering questions - representing Inclusive Fitness like a natural. And our whole coaching team was out on the course, helping athletes along the way.

So great to see all the familiar faces - families and friends who come back year after year. The best kind of reunion!

And we love seeing IF athletes take the strength and confidence they build in the gym out into the community... that’s what Strong for a Purpose is all about!

Many thanks to EVERYONE who joined us, supported our team and donated to the Inclusive Fitness Scholarship Fund.

And a BIG thank you to the Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism for bringing everyone together each year. We love being a part of it!

As young people transition into adulthood, routines, services, and supports may change. But the need to move, connect, stay healthy, and keep growing remains.

That's an important part of the conversation we're bringing to The Arc of Massachusetts 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 conference today!

At Inclusive Fitness, we believe fitness should be a fundamental part of preparing for adulthood — and supporting lifelong health, wellness, and independence.

Through neuroadaptive fitness training, we meet each athlete where they are, tailoring programs to their individual abilities and goals.

And our focus goes beyond physical strength. We help athletes build stamina, stability, mobility, and confidence — capabilities that carry over into everyday life and support greater independence, recreation, work, and participation in the community.

𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘗𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 — building strength in the gym to support a full, active, and healthy life.

𝗝𝗢𝗜𝗡 𝗨𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗔𝗙𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗡𝗢𝗢𝗡!

Inclusive Fitness President Greg Austin and IF athlete and self-advocate Dan O'Donnell will share their experiences and perspectives in our workshop:

𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗢𝗻𝗲: 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲

We'll share real athlete stories and practical examples of how fitness can become a meaningful, ongoing part of the transition to adulthood — and why physical activity and wellness matter just as much beyond the transition years.

We're excited to be part of The Arc of Massachusetts 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲: 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄 conference this Saturday, October 24!

Inclusive Fitness President Greg Austin will be presenting alongside his friend Dan O'Donnell, a neurodivergent self-advocate and Inclusive Fitness athlete, for a workshop titled:

🎤 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗢𝗻𝗲: 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲

As parents, caregivers, and advocates, we work hard to put the right supports in place for the people we love — education, services, housing, employment, and opportunities to participate meaningfully in their communities.

These supports are essential. But we also believe that a strong body and resilient mind provide the foundation for making the most of these opportunities.

After training hundreds of athletes at Inclusive Fitness, we've seen firsthand how neuroadaptive fitness training helps athletes build strength, stamina, stability, mobility, and confidence — capabilities that support greater independence and a full, active, and healthy life.

Join us to learn more about our approach to neuroadaptive fitness, hear real athlete stories, and see examples of what athletes have achieved at Inclusive Fitness.

Looking forward to a great day tomorrow at the Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress (MDSC) Buddy Walk at Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield!

We’ll be there with Team Inclusive Fitness — STRONG FOR A PURPOSE, led by Team Captains Jordan Caira, IF athlete, and Greg Austin, along with athletes, families, coaches and friends.

Jordan just celebrated 675 sessions at Inclusive Fitness - an amazing milestone! She was the first athlete to join IF, and six years later, she’s still training hard, learning new exercises, supporting other athletes in the group, and building so much strength and power along the way.

That’s what Strong for a Purpose is all about - building strength in the gym, supporting lifelong health and functional fitness, and staying active, strong and connected in the community.

Tomorrow, we get to put some of that strength into action while supporting Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress (MDSC) and the programs, resources and opportunities it provides for people with Down syndrome and their families.

If you’re going to the Buddy Walk, come find Team IF — we’d love to walk together!
