Caleb - A student at Next Step Academy |  | |
"Ever since Caleb's first trip to Discover Fitness Foundation (which he lovingly refers to as "Gym-nas-kicks") he has always looked forward to his Friday outings at the gym. It not only provides him with a physically engaging outlet, but also a safe environment where he is free to express himself fully. Opportunities for him to participate in similar activities outside of these scheduled visits are rare; and when they come up, it is often difficult to ensure that Caleb is able to enjoy the experience, mainly due to his challenges related to autism and social cues. When I pick him up on Fridays, he is always in a great mood, and is quick to mention his trips to Gymnastics, noting foam pits, tumbling, and best of all, having fun and exercising. Discover Fitness's dedication to serve the special needs community is truly a gift worth appreciating, and we are so blessed that they opened their doors to many children like Caleb who benefit greatly from their organization."
