FITNESS BUDDIES
The Phase Foundation Fitness Buddy matches our adaptive athletes to a peer to create friendship in and outside of the gym. The ultimate goal of this program is to create opportunities for our adaptive athletes to live a more active lifestyle outside of the gym. Our buddy pairs go on walks together, play sports together and have even run 5k’s together!
SENSORY INCLUSIVE FITNESS
Our gyms affiliate gyms are sensory inclusive, meaning we are open to the public but if someone has specific sensory needs then we, as a community, adapt to the needs of that person. That can include music, the sound of the weights and even the lighting of the gym.
RACE GUIDES
Endurance sports should not be limited to anyone. Most races will allow adaptive athletes to have one and sometimes two guides with them throughout the race. Phase Foundation is currently in the process of training race guides, all of whom will affiliate with Achilles International, to meet then needs of adaptive athlete in our community.
PHASE FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Phase Foundation is planning to launch a scholarship program in 2026 that will provide financial assistance to individuals and families that qualify. Our hope is that the financial needs of an individual will not limit their ability to change their lifestyle.
TRAINER MENTORING
We welcome personal trainers and other fitness professionals that would like to learn more about how to work with adaptive athletes. We will set up a custom program that will show you everything from how to design a program to how to put together group training classes.
AFFILIATE PROGRAM
Gyms and personal training studios that would like to become sensory-inclusive and provide programs for individuals with intellectual disabilities, can apply to be an affiliate of the Phase Foundation. This program is currently in the pilot stage and scheduled launch in 2026.
