Raise a Glass to Raise the Bar, what a night!! 🍻💙

The turnout was incredible!! We saw athletes, families, and friends filling Baramor with conversations, support, and generosity. Every gratuity and donation from the evening went directly to the Inclusive Fitness Scholarship Fund, in partnership with the Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism.

Our scholarship has already helped more than 50 neurodivergent athletes build strength, confidence, and community, and now, because of your generosity, even more will have access to life-changing fitness!

A huge thank you to our host Matthew Wosk with Arpit & the Baramor team, and to our sponsors — Proficio Capital Partners, Bialow Real Estate, Coda Home, and the Greer Family — for making this possible.

Nights like this prove what a community can do when we come together with purpose. Thank you for making a difference!

Strength. Confidence. Community. 💪

Over four years ago, Mary Gwen’s mom heard about Inclusive Fitness through a friend of a friend and thought to herself, “Yeah, there’s no way.” They’d tried everything, but nothing ever worked. She’ll tell you now — 200 workouts later — she couldn’t have been more mistaken.

It’s the presumption of confidence, she says, that keeps Mary Gwen coming back. She knows we know she can do it. And do it she has. For 200 sessions, Mary Gwen has shown up ready to work. Her coach shares that she’s become significantly stronger — pushing and dragging heavy sleds, carrying serious weight, and pressing overhead with growing confidence. “It’s been life-changing for our family,” her mom told us.

Coach Greg notes that her stability and attention to movement have both improved. She’s learned to set her stance, focus her attention, and bring confidence to every challenge. Perhaps most importantly, Mary Gwen expresses a sincere appreciation for how strenuous exercise makes her feel, and a deep pride in her ability to accomplish each rep, set, and session. These gains go far beyond the gym, translating into greater safety in her daily life, more confidence to engage in her community, and a well-earned sense of achievement.

Her coach says it best: “She’s an awesome athlete to train, and I’m grateful for her family’s trust and commitment.”

Here’s to 200 sessions, countless small wins, and the joy of seeing what steady effort can do. Keep ’em coming, Mary Gwen!

MDSC Buddy Walk – October 12 - Why We Walk

At Inclusive Fitness, we believe in being strong for a purpose — to build strength, gain confidence, create healthy habits, and thrive in the community.

Our athletes with Down syndrome embody this spirit every day. They show us what it means to be Strong, Brave & Determined, and inspire us to walk for inclusion at the MDSC Buddy Walk.

Join our team and walk together to raise awareness, celebrate inclusion, raise funds, and support the mission of the Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress.

Every dollar raised makes a difference.
