At Amore Fitness, we provide personal training for individuals on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our dedicated personal trainer Kim Baram is autism-aware and equipped with strategies and concepts such as Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) to deliver effective exercise instruction. Our approach emphasises personalised programs tailored to meet the specific needs and likes of each client.

​

Empowering through personalised training

At Amore Fitness, we are committed to empowering individuals with ASD to achieve their fitness goals and lead fulfilling lives. Through personalised training, understanding and support, we help our clients reach their full potential, one workout at a time.

 

Catering to diverse participants

We understand that each individual is different, which is why we tailor our programs to meet their specific needs and preferences. Our goal is to help clients feel in control by providing predictability and repetition in their workouts.

​

Progression and growth

​

We recognise that progress looks different for each client. Some may need more time to acclimate to the training environment, while others may be ready to explore various fitness activities from the start. We adapt sessions accordingly, ensuring that every client feels supported and empowered throughout their fitness journey.

 

Benefits of fitness

Fitness offers a multitude of benefits. Beyond improving strength and flexibility, it enhances weight management, social interactions, self-confidence and self-efficacy. Physical movement fosters engagement in a healthy lifestyle, improving attention span and on-task behaviours.

 

Tailored exercise programs

Our exercise programs address recreation, sensory and social needs. Some clients may require more active exercises in the morning and calming activities in the afternoon, while others may benefit from calming activities throughout the day. We offer a variety of activities, including weight training, cardio, aerobic and anaerobic, plyometrics, agility drills and coordination and balance exercises to address problem areas and enhance physical fitness, ensuring sessions are fun and engaging.

​

Building comfort and trust

​

We acknowledge that the first visit can be overwhelming for some clients. It may involve simple steps like arriving at the location or exploring the surroundings. As clients become familiar with the routine and environment, progress accelerates. For confident clients, sessions encompass a wide range of activities to promote physical fitness and overall well-being.

 

Fitness for all ages

Fitness programs tailored for individuals with ASD are suitable for children, teens, and adults. Regardless of age, everyone can benefit from physical exercise. For children with ASD, exercises targeting low muscle tone, poor spatial awareness, and limited endurance are particularly beneficial.

 

Positive outcomes

The positive outcomes of tailored fitness programs for individuals with ASD extend beyond physical health. Improved heart health, organ function and cognitive responses contribute to a healthier body-mind connection. Recognising pain and discomfort becomes easier, reinforcing the objective of a healthier lifestyle.
