Written by Evan Schwerbrock, M.S. and designed by the AdaptX team, this three-week program is designed for individuals with Visual Impairments who are interested in joining a gym but unsure how to navigate the unfamiliar space.

Evan developed Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy shortly after earning his bachelor's degree in health science. Within two weeks, he had massively impaired sight and had to figure out how to adapt to the gym and life with the new circumstances.

Evan continued on to receive his master's degree in kinesiology, become a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, a professor, personal trainer, and more. In 2020, he founded Cane and Able Fitness, a resource providing applicable and accessible health information to the blind of the world.

Evan has helped people all over the world to problem solve and overcome the issues that come with low vision to live healthier, happier lives.

The National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) designed the 321go!® program to promote healthy lifestyle choices in physical activity, balanced nutrition, and emotional wellness among individuals with Down syndrome and their families.

The guide teaches the basics of physical activity, balanced nutrition, and emotional wellness and encourages learners to adopt healthy habits. The Fitness Kit provides instructional materials and equipment to make at-home workouts easy and fun. It includes the 321go!® Program Guide, the 321go!® Exercise Cards, NDSS branded exercise equipment, a water bottle, and a drawstring bag.
