Our Story

As a life-long athlete who’s been involved in CrossFit for 8 years, I’ve always believed that my autistic son, Danny, had the potential to be just as strong and fit as his active, athletic siblings.  Now, groundbreaking research is proving just how essential physical activity is for optimum brain function. Unfortunately, there’s very little opportunity for kids like Danny to access top quality programs, in school or out.  My oldest son had pioneered a program at his CrossFit gym – the first of it’s kind – proving that a challenging fitness regimen was attainable for everyone. We decided it was time we provided the resources to make those opportunities available to all, and Spectrum Strength was born.
