This gym was a wonderful experience for our large autism camp. The instructors met the needs of many of the first time gym goers. They made it a fun learning experience for all. We will be back again next summer!

Inclusively Fit has made such a difference in my brother’s life (and our whole family’s) after just a few visits. The fact that a program exists like this is incredible. It is clean, expansive, and provides such specific care to your loved one. If you’re even slightly considering giving it a shot- just do it! You won’t regret it.

Our son started working out at this gym in January and it’s been so good for him in so many ways. Physically, socially, mentally, emotionally… Mark is the absolute best and has a great team of trainers. Cannot say enough about Mark and his mission and the great and important work being done here. Detroit is very fortunate – every community needs an Inclusively Fit gym.

I love the community support I experience at OTF. I also feel the comradely of others yet I feel like I have a personal trainer. The coaches are the best, they really seem to care about all of the members.

Love the food. Don’t like the automatic 3% tagged on to your bill when paying with a credit card though.

Love this place!! They do a great job of working with my son on his strength and muscle tone, as well as with his adhd and chatty personality.
Introducing Inclusively Fit, a place and approach to fitness and exercise as unique as the individuals it was created to serve. An organization where everyone understands a person’s physical well-being is strongly connected to their emotional well-being. And that physical accomplishment doesn’t just build stronger muscles, but a stronger sense of self.
If you’re a family member, teacher or friend or someone with special needs, and struggled to find fitness programs or facilities that meet the specific needs of your child, you’re not alone. Inclusively Fit was founded upon a very simple realization … many children, as well as adults with special needs, can greatly benefit from a personal exercise and fitness program.
We’ve asked ourselves, “What if?” Our answer is Inclusively Fit. A place that believes fitness is a journey best traveled with friends.
