Our fitness program pushes athletes both physically and mentally. By mastering tasks and overcoming obstacles, our athletes develop the confidence they need to succeed in the gym and in life. Through consistent exercise, brave determination, and expert support, our athletes learn how to improve their overall well-being.
We believe the work they do here will lead to better management of daily life skills and a stronger sense of autonomy. At Fitness 4 Focus, our goal is to help our athletes achieve their ultimate potential. Founder Chris Russell alongside participant Thomas McHale was with us Friday to talk more about the program and share details on the O-2 Challenge.

Services
We have created a fitness program that challenges athletes both physically and mentally. Over the past ten years, our curriculum has been designed and modified to give each athlete the very best. Our athletes are guaranteed a full body workout each time they come to the gym, but they get much more than that.
Each person is unique. Fitness 4 Focus is for individuals who are impacted by intellectual, physical, mental and/or sensory challenges that affect their ability to do certain activities. We serve all individuals from childhood through adulthood. No matter what our athletes age is they are learning new skills, making new friends and gaining in strength, coordination, confidence and independence.
Chris is the Founder and CEO of Fitness 4 Focus. After college Chris returned to Central Pennsylvania where he began to work for a local agency as a Therapeutic Staff Support (TSS) from 2003-2012. His primary role as a TSS was to provide intervention strategies in order to assist students in developing daily living, social and cultural skills.
We are thrilled to bring the Fitness 4 Focus program to Charlotte. Our mission is to affect change in the lives of individuals with special needs and developmental disabilities, helping our athletes achieve their ultimate potential. By mastering tasks and overcoming obstacles, our athletes develop the confidence they need to succeed in the gym and in life.
All athletes who would like to join the Fitness 4 Focus gym our required to come to a Free Gym Session first. This will give athletes (and caregivers) an opportunity to learn about our program, get a taste of a session at the gym, and give us a chance to learn about an athletes current fitness level and goals.

Learn how to drive without the phone glued to your ear so you can actually focus on driving. Especially when you have your business name posted all over your vehicle, you should be driving very carefully and acting like the professional you want so desperately to be. When you're on the road, focus on the road so you don't cause an accident like you almost did just now!

My brother, Rich loves FITNESS 4 FOCUS !! From what I’ve heard from family members nearby, his trainer, Shawn, shows such patience and gives Rich so much encouragement during his sessions. My family has definitely seen a positive change in Rich; he’s much more confident now and gaining independence which will make him more open to new challenges in his life. Thank you to all who have worked with my brother !! You’re all doing a great job in giving people with various challenges the assistance and tools they need to lead a normal and healthy life!

Chris Russell and his trainers are absolutely amazing. I had the oportunity to meet Chris, one of his trainers and quite a few of his clients before his business took off for the sky as he leased space in the studio I work in. Chris is patient, kind and above all...fun! I highly recommend this team to work with kiddos and grown ups alike! I've enjoyed watching this team take flight! Team F4F!
