Neurodivergent-Friendly Fitness: How Coach Abby Clapper Builds Strength for Every Brain and Body

Key Takeaways:

• Neurodivergence in fitness includes ADHD, autism, OCD, and more—each person’s needs and learning style are unique.

• Traditional gyms can be overstimulating, with loud music, bright lights, and unpredictable environments.

• Abby adapts workouts by offering virtual or at-home programs and modifying communication styles based on each client.

• Hypermobility requires special care—lighter weights, slow progressions, and joint-stabilizing exercises reduce injury risk.

• Chronic conditions like dysautonomia and endometriosis may not go away, but movement can help manage flares and improve daily life.

• Consistency, not perfection, is what creates long-term results.

• Active recovery and rest are essential—especially for clients who deal with fatigue, pain, or executive dysfunction.

• Abby offers a free beginner-friendly workout planner with video demos and habit trackers to help people get started.
