Get Involved In Fitness

Special Olympics Virginia offers three unique models for engagement in fitness. Join a Fitness Club, Walking Club, or help bring fitness activities to one of the existing 200+ sports teams throughout the state!
Fitness Programs

Fitness Club

Fitness Clubs are workout groups for people with and without disabilities in a local community who meet together regularly. With an emphasis on relationship, accessibility and sustainability, Fitness Clubs use minimal equipment and follow a peer leadership model.

Walking Club

Walking Clubs are walking groups for people with and without disabilities in a local community. Walking Clubs are a perfect way to prioritize inclusive friendship while staying active!

Fitness in Sport

A great athlete is a healthy athlete, but often healthy movement isn't incorporated into a sports practice. However, sometimes prioritizing functional movements and exercise can get lost in the middle of a busy season. Let's change that with fitness-focused sports teams!
