FITNESS SESSIONS
(Personal Training)
What do we offer?
clubSENsational offers the opportunity to enjoy a fun, structured and engaging Fitness program with a certified Personal Trainer and Exercise and Health specialist from our Autism specialists team.
Engaging in regular physical activity offers a wide range of benefits for autistic people and people with learning difficulties, such as improved cardiovascular health, better fine and gross motor skills, better postural awareness, more engagement in social actions, and many more.
Being active can improve mental health by providing a sense of accomplishment, confidence, and self-worth. This is especially important for children with learning difficulties, who can learn to appreciate their abilities and develop a more positive self-image through physical activity.
SUPPORT
We offer 1 to 1 support at all times during our sessions with Autism Specialists / SEND teachers highly trained on the field.
Our Fitness sessions are designed and delivered by a certified Personal Trainer and Exercise and Health specialist who is also an Autism Specialist.
