Special Populations @ Level Up Fitness Academy

Sadly the majority of individuals with developmental disabilities get very little physical activity, carry high amounts of body fat, have poor fitness levels, and are at significantly higher risk of many health problems than the general population (1). A full third of adolescents wit Autism are obese (2). 54 % of children with Autism are overweight or at a high risk of becoming overweight (3). Unfortunately, the current services available offering physical activity for this population is sorely lacking.
