Train 4 Life in Greenwood

Train 4 Life    

Train 4 Life is a free fitness program through Indiana Special Olympics designed for people with intellectual disabilities that includes partnerships with facilities in local communities.

Designed for Special Olympics athletes ages 13 and older, the 12-week program includes pre- and post-program biometric and fitness testing, group workouts, weekly nutrition and healthy lifestyle education. By developing these healthy choices within individuals, the program allows athletes to see measured outcomes and continue good habits throughout their lifetimes.

Studies have shown that nearly three-quarters of adults with ID and half of youth with ID are overweight or obese. People with ID are four times more likely to acquire Type 2 diabetes and a quarter of them have low bone density.

Participants work out alongside individuals without intellectual disabilities in order to build a sense of mentorship, friendship and community. The program’s model is designed to meet individuals where they are and set achievable goals as they progress and take on increasing physical challenges.
