About the Program
HSCSN would like to give our youth with disabilities access to certified fitness trainers who are experienced in working with individuals with developmental and other disabilities. The staff at SPIRIT Club are experienced, knowledgeable, and energetic. Fitness Training is used to promote physical fitness and improved health through both virtual and in-person sessions. This program addresses physical fitness but may have benefits for mental well-being and social development. Additionally, fitness training can contribute to better management of chronic conditions, prevention of overweight and obesity, and overall improved quality of life. Fitness training can be individualized considering the specific needs and abilities of each enrollee.
HSCSN has partnered with SPIRIT Club to offer fitness services to our enrollees. No Prior Authorization is required for the program.
Eligibility
All enrollees 6 years or older are eligible. The program will be particularly impactful for enrollees with obesity, diabetes, and asthma.
Program Details
All enrollees are eligible for up to 12 visits a year (individual and group sessions combined).
Enrollees can schedule travel to and from the gym with HSCSN’s transportation partner Verida. Call Verida at (866) 991-5433 Monday-Friday, 6 am to 6 pm EST.
Enrollees will be required to participate in a pre-screening assessment prior to participating in the fitness training. This does not count towards the 12 sessions. This evaluation will determine the frequency of training needed for participants and if individual or group sessions are recommended.
Location
Any SPIRIT Club location may be used for in-person classes. Virtual sessions are also available. All locations can be found here: https://www.spirit-club.com/live-class-schedule.
Washington DC residents are allowed (after registration with SPIRIT Club) to use DC Recreation facilities free of charge. SPIRIT Club offers sessions at these DC recreation facilities to make it convenient for DC residents that may be challenged with transportation.
