Making a difference in the community for people with disabilities We empower individuals with developmental and other disabilities to become more physically active and live a healthy and balanced lifestyle. ZOOZ Fitness workout routines are designed to build confidence, strength, and flexibility in addition to promoting social interaction, spatial awareness, and improving quality of life. The conventional fitness programs, services, and facilities in the community do not provide an opportunity for children, teens, and adults with special needs a chance to explore fitness and wellness. Everyone needs to exercise their bodies and minds regardless of their disability. ZOOZ Fitness changes the conventional model of exercise into an adaptive, inclusive, active, safe and fun fitness experience for individuals with special needs. ZOOZ Fitness develops, implements and provides fitness and wellness programs and services, tailoring each and every workout to the individual. This one on one and group fitness experiences create these opportunities for individuals with special needs to push their body and mind to their limits and reach goals they never thought were possible. There are so many conventional workout routines advertised in our communities. These conventional workout routines create "one" model for what fitness should look like. These models do not always work for everyone. ZOOZ Fitness hopes to change this model of exercise and make fitness accessible to EVERYONE!
Inspiration behind ZOOZ Fitness ZOOZ Fitness was started out of a need to create exercise opportunities for those individuals needing that extra push or support. In all of his years of teaching, mentoring, and working with individuals with special needs, our founder, Jake, realized that fitness programs and gyms were not set up to accommodate people of all abilities. Many individuals with special needs are living very sedentary lives, gaining weight, and not participating in any movement-related activities. ZOOZ Fitness was created to provide those adaptive, inclusive, and active programs for everyone regardless of skill or ability level.
Who can benefit from ZOOZ Fitness Anyone and Everyone! We pride ourselves on our ability to adapt our routines to anyone who walks into our class or signs up for private sessions. We love to work with families, staff, and the individual to create unique fitness experiences.
Our message We understand the unique challenges facing the special needs community and believe that everyone regardless of their ability level, deserve the chance to create and maintain a life that promotes health, happiness, and wellness of mind and body.
