NYC Fitness Studio Launches Inclusive Training Series For Special Needs Community

NEW YORK, NY / AGILITYPR.NEWS / October 09, 2020 / TONE HOUSE PARTNERS WITH SPECIAL OLYMPICS NEW YORK

 

Tone House, NYC’s premiere Strength & Conditioning facility is partnering with Special Olympics New York to create inclusive athletic training workouts designed specifically for athletes of all physical and intellectual abilities.

 

Tone House, NYC’s premier athletic training facility, has announced a new partnership with Special Olympics New York in a united mission to bring fun, athletic, and inclusive fitness programs to athletes of all physical and intellectual abilities.

 

Tone House aims to help individuals of all backgrounds discover what it’s like to Train Like an Athlete through their notorious strength and conditioning programs. Similarly, Special Olympics New York provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. In a time where in-person sports and competitions are limited, Tone House has joined forces with SONY to offer virtual fitness options for athletes of all abilities.

 

Tone House has created and launched an Inclusive Training series designed specifically for Special Olympics athletes on their on demand digital platform, Tone House TV. SONY athletes receive access to the workouts, plus the opportunity to guest star alongside Tone House Coaches in videos. The workouts are fun, athletic, require minimal equipment, and can be completed anywhere.

 

As their new primary non-profit partner, Tone House has pledged to make SONY the exclusive beneficiary for their 2021 Turf Wars event, an annual athletic competition held in June that draws hundreds of athletes out to compete and spectate.

 

To officially launch the partnership, Tone House hosted a live virtual class for all Special Olympics athletes on Thursday, October 8th at 5:30pm, with a message from Special Olympics New York President & CEO Stacey Hengsterman to kick off the workout.
