Although Fit Fun Connect is designed to feel casual, fun, and relaxed, there is a lot of intentional skill-building happening behind the scenes. Each session is structured to support growth in areas that impact daily life, independence, and confidence, including:
​
• Social confidence and initiating peer interactions
• Communication skills in group and real-world settings
• Emotional regulation and handling frustration or discomfort
• Executive functioning skills such as focus, planning, and following multi-step directions
• Routine building and consistency with healthy habits
• Body awareness, coordination, and functional movement
• Group participation, teamwork, and social awareness
• Independent decision-making and self-advocacy skills
• Community readiness and real-world social navigation
Q / How do I sign up?
A / You can sign up online by selecting the class that best fits your needs and availability.
Because space may be limited, we recommend reserving your spot early. Certain classes may require a waitlist. If you are unable to complete a session in a week due to a scheduling conflict from us, we will make it right by crediting you an extra class or work to add additional classes dependent upon gym space and appropriate staff.
​
If you have questions about class fit, age grouping, support needs, or scheduling, feel free to reach out to fitfunconnect@gmail.com before registering
​
Q / Do participants need to be athletic or “in shape” to join?
​Not at all, but you can be! If significant support is needed for someone who wants to join, we will coordinate a way to make it work! Fit Fun Connect is designed to meet participants where they are. No advanced fitness level is required.
​
Activities are structured to support:
-
beginners
-
varying coordination levels
-
different comfort levels with exercise
-
a wide range of physical and social abilities
The focus is on participation, movement, increased life knowledge, confidence, and fun — not perfection.
​
Q / How are activities adapted for different ability levels?
​A / All fitness and movement activities are modified based on participant ability.
Classes are guided by an expert occupational therapist and his team, allowing activities to be adjusted to support:
​
-
different physical abilities
-
endurance levels
-
coordination and motor planning needs
-
comfort with social participation
This helps create a safe and encouraging experience while still keeping the class active and engaging.
​
​
Q/ What does a typical class look like?
​
​A/ A typical Fit Fun Connect class will include:
-
conversation and connection around health, life skills, or mindset
-
a warm-up
-
a fun calisthenic exercise routine
-
interactive group games and challenges
-
fitness-based activities with a playful, social twist
Each class is designed to keep participants moving, thinking, interacting, and having fun. This is true for each Fit Fun Connect group, whether that be for an adult, youth or mixed aged population.
​
Q / Is this more of a fitness class or a social group?
​​​A / It’s both — and that’s what makes it unique.
Fit Fun Connect combines:
-
movement and exercise
-
social interaction
-
confidence building
-
life skills and healthy habits
Participants are not just “working out” — they are also practicing communication, teamwork, self-expression, and participation in a group setting.
​
Q / Can participants join more than one class a week?
​​​A / Yes. Participants may sign up for more than one class if space is available. Additional classes can be added for an extra cost or under a premium package, making it possible for participants to increase their activity, social opportunities, and weekly structure. There are various monthly membership options.
​
Q / Why do spots need to be reserved in advance?
​
​​​A / Spots must be reserved in advance to help ensure:
​
-
appropriate staffing support
-
class organization
-
proper equipment and space planning
-
availability for all participants
​​
Because class sizes are intentionally kept manageable, advanced sign-up helps us create the best possible experience for everyone involved.
​
Q / Can participants join more than one class a week?
​​​​
A/ Yes — drop-ins may be coordinated in advance at a one-time/drop-in rate, if space is available. We would need at least one days notice for a first time drop in, to ensure any forms or specific information is needed before participation in the group.
Drop-ins are not guaranteed without prior coordination, so we strongly recommend reaching out ahead of time to check availability.
​
Q / How many participants are in each group?
​​​A / Group sizes are intentionally kept limited to help maintain quality, safety, engagement, and individualized support. Smaller group sizes allow participants to receive more individualized guidance while creating a more comfortable environment for social connection and participation. Our goal is to keep classes capped at no more than 8- 10 members per group. This helps ensure that Fit Fun Connect offers more than just a typical group fitness class by intentionally supporting areas such as motor coordination, social skills, and overall participation with skilled staff in a setting that is focused, supportive, and less distracting.
​
Q / What are the benefits of joining Fit Fun Connect?
​​​A / Participants may benefit from:
​
-
improved confidence
-
increased physical activity
-
better body awareness and coordination
-
social connection and interaction
-
healthier routines
-
improved participation in group settings
-
a fun and supportive sense of community
​​
Most importantly, Fit Fun Connect is designed to give participants a place where they can move, connect, and feel successful.
Q / How should you dress for the class?
​​​​
A / This is a fitness class. You will sweat! Please wear sneakers and breathable exercise clothing, so that you are comfortable... and if you feel like pushing yourself physically. Bring water!​
