My name is Bret Bondlow and I own a facility in Hanover, Ma called Compelling Fitness. I have designed the facility with the goal of working with kids and adults with special needs. I have been training for over 8yrs but prior to training I worked with kids and adults in residential treatment facilities, group homes and foster placement for 10yrs. During that time I developed fitness programs (informally) for the individuals to help stay focused, improve health and reduce behavioral incidents.

My goal after leaving the work (burnt out) was to develop a facility for these kids/adults to exercise/have fun and be part of the community since the opportunities are few if any. I currently work with the local DMR, collaboratives and some school systems in developing and  implementing exercise programs based on each individuals needs physically and behaviorally. I currently work with autistic children, Downs Syndrome adults, MR adults, ADD children/adults.

You are welcome to look at my website www.compellingfitness.com or offer me feedback/suggestions as to your thoughts. I am continually updating my programs to meet the needs of families/group homes/programs that contact me.  I look forward to hearing from you, thanks for having me on board, bret
