The Train 4 Life™ program is a holistic health and fitness program focused on fitness, nutrition, and mental health for teens and adults ages 14+ with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The 12- week program will encompass pre-and-post-health and fitness testing outcomes, along with once-a- week group workouts, two at-home workouts, and weekly virtual nutrition and mental wellness education.
