FITNESS FOR ALL – New Section (Elementor)

“One of the leading examples of inclusion in the workplace is Spirit Club, where everyone is welcomed with open arms. Since I started working there on October 30, 2018, I have been treated with love, kindness, affection, and care. I feel like a part of a big family that helps and supports one another as a team to get things done. If you’re ever in town, please feel free to visit us. Thank you, Jared, from the bottom of my heart. You are the best!”

“SPIRIT Club’s use of this community center is quite possibly the highest use of our community space. We have so many other uses of our building, but no other activity brings the joy, uplift, and hope that SPIRIT Club brings to our community.”

“Awesome organization supporting people with disabilities! We love partnering with SPIRIT Club and all of their instructors are fantastic!”

“Dear SPIRIT Club, Your classes are really AMAZING and my son absolutely loves them. He talks about it a lot at home and even does some of the exercises at home. He keeps the handouts nearby and refers to them often. Thank you for teaching him so much in a way that he really enjoys! He absolutely LOVES your classes and has learned so much! He will be continuing to take your classes, because they are just SO good for him in so many ways. Believe me, my son is 28 years old and your program is the BEST I’ve ever seen! Thank you for all that you do!”

“My 23 year old son started SPIRIT Club 18 months ago – wow what a change we have seen in him! He attends SPIRIT Club and is accompanied by his support staff. He has gone from coming to visit a session for 10 minutes to being engaged for the whole session – even leading the occasional exercise! I call Jared the Fitness Whisperer. He and his staff really know how to get this population motivated and moving. We have also seen improvement in my son’s muscle tone and coordination. SPIRIT Club is certainly one of the highlights of my son’s week.”

“I have made such a transformation with the help of Jubilee and SPIRIT Club. The personal training style, knowledge, and encouragement was the extra nudge I needed. The team has fostered more creative ways to keep me from giving up. SPIRIT Club is truly a fun and amazing atmosphere that makes you forget the hard cruel day to day hiccups in life. SPIRIT Club helped me understand my body and empowered me not just to work out on a regular basis. They helped me know that I can hit every mark no matter how hard or challenging it was.”

“My son recently lost 21 pounds. He is more outgoing. He is more flexible. When he first started, he couldn’t sit or get down on the floor. He is doing that now!”

“SPIRIT Club is such a godsend. Thank you for helping Adie and her peers. You always have our support.”

“SPIRIT Club is a safe harbor where people of all abilities can come to work out, make friends and have fun. As you enter the club, there is an immediate feeling of acceptance and community.”

“I can’t say enough positive things about SPIRIT Club! Jared, Tricia, Adrian and Sam, to name a few, are the best. They not only take the time to work with each individual, but they also train the parents/caregivers on how to work with their child in order to get the best exercise experience. This has really filled a void for the young adults who have aged out of other exercise programs. Keep up the great work!”

“Our son Drew has been attending SPIRIT Club for a little over a month. From our first contact with Jared (the owner) and his team, we felt included and supported. They listened carefully to our goals for Drew and developed a program that keeps him engaged, builds strength and most of all, is fun. It’s not your typical gym atmosphere– it’s got a very special “come as you are” vibe that makes you happy to be there the minute you walk in. The staff and trainers are friendly, patient and seem to genuinely love what they do. If you are looking for a place that offers exercise and community for all abilities, you can’t do any better than SPIRIT Club.”

“SPIRIT Club was an answer to a prayer. My adult son, who has developmental disabilities and autism, needed a safe place to exercise. When he first attended a group class he was shy and refused to participate; gradually he became more engaged and now he walks into the gym like he owns the place! His personal training session with Adrian is the highlight of his week – and now I take personal training at the same time and we work out side by side on our individual fitness goals. Our family LOVES SPIRIT Club and we are grateful to be part of the SPIRIT family.”

“I like the gym because I can make friends easily and exercise at the same time”

“I am constantly amazed by the wonderful trainers at SPIRIT Club, each one approaching fitness with compassion and understanding for each participant. They truly tailor their efforts for each unique member of SPIRIT Club. The gym uses sand bells which are very easy to grip and get a sweat going after a one-hour class!”

“SPIRIT Club gets a total high-five! Founder Jared Ciner, CEO is inspirational – inspirational to the athletes, to parents, and no doubt to his staff. SPIRIT Club offers a much-needed venue to accommodate people of all abilities so they can exercise in a safe environment and work toward optimum health.”

“SPIRIT Club is amazing!! Kristian works with my 11 year old son, who is differently abled, and we are overjoyed by the results that we have seen. They are caring and dedicated. They create an environment that makes the program seem effortless. I highly recommend SPIRIT Club – Kensington!!”

“I like going to SPIRIT Club, I like to exercise with Kristian, my awesome personal trainer. He makes me work hard but I’m getting stronger.”

“Our son, Paul, has benefitted socially and physically at his regular SPIRIT Club Session on Monday evenings. There is more fun and personality in that room during that hour than you can find at most places.”

“SPIRIT Club has been a great addition to our son Sean’s social and educational experience. He doesn’t always get a lot of physical activity during his weekly routine, but he looks forward to his Sunday SPIRIT Club class and really does enjoy the exercise. We have been involved in SPIRIT Club for a few years now and would recommend it to any individual with disabilities who would benefit from a low-stress (and FUN) exercise experience. By the way, although all the staff is first-class, Adrian is the BEST!”

“SPIRIT Club is not your typical gym atmosphere– it’s got a very special ‘come as you are’ vibe that makes you happy to be there the minute you walk in. The staff and trainers are friendly, patient and seem to genuinely love what they do. If you are looking for a place that offers exercise and community for all abilities, you can’t do any better than SPIRIT Club.”

“I would like to thank SPIRIT Club for being an integral part of my adult children with developmental differences lives. They look forward to class every week. Chris their trainer is patient and creative. I also thank the organization for working to make fitness affordable for my family!”

“I researched fitness organizations in the greater DC region that specialize in working with adults who are on the autism spectrum or developmentally disabled in some way. My brother, who has autism, had been in great need of physical development/culture for some time and has been thriving at SPIRIT Club. In addition to his improved physique, there is a noticeable improvement in his attitude and energy level at the end of the day. I am eternally grateful to ALL staff, for the work they have done and will continue to do for not just my brother, but all those they serve. Thank you again guys!”

“I have two Adult kids that need a Fitness program in their daily life. In SPIRIT Club, I love the individualized exercise program that would help and cater to my children’s adult’s needs to strengthen their physical and mental health.”
