Uncharted horizons
Empowering individuals with Down syndrome through fitness, friendship, and fun
Program Description
At UnChared CrossFit, we believe in serving our entire community—every person, every ability.
That's why we created the Buddy Up Fitness program, a fitness experience specifically designed for individuals with Down syndrome, ages 12 and up. Our program focuses on building balance, core strength, cardiovascular endurance, and overall physical fitness—all in a supportive and encouraging environment.
But it's about more than just fitness. Our goal is to boost confidence, foster friendships, and create a sense of camaraderie among participants and their peers.
Each class is led by certified coaches and supported by dedicated volunteers who are not only experienced in the movements but passionate about working with this incredible group. At UnChared, we believe in working hard, lifting each other up, and having a great time while doing it.
Build Strength & Mobility
Each workout is tailored to meet the needs of our athletes, helping them improve coordination, strength, and everyday functional movement.
One-on-One Support
Every athlete is paired with a dedicated Buddy who provides hands-on encouragement, safety guidance, and genuine friendship.
Boost Confidence & Independence
Through positive reinforcement and achievable goals, participants grow more confident in themselves and their abilities—both inside and outside the gym.
Be Part of a Fitness Family
We’re more than a gym—we’re a community. Buddy Up participants and their families become part of a supportive, joyful environment where everyone belongs.
