Out Run Your Fork Starts Fitness Program For Adults With Disabilities

WESTFIELD — At Out Run Your Fork, a Westfield-based personal training and nutrition center, physical fitness is only part of the picture.

“When you walk in the door, we see you as a whole person,” said Tony Bianchino, a longtime personal trainer and the founder of Out Run Your Fork. “Whether you’re trying to lose weight, get stronger or just be healthier, we’re here to help you meet that goal in the long term and have fun while you do it.”

Out Run Your Fork, which recently moved its operations to a new location at 500 Central Avenue, offers one-to-one training sessions, small-group workout classes, injury prevention and recovery services and personalized nutrition counseling for all of its members.

“We don’t expect you to know everything (or even anything) about fitness the first time you come in,” said Mr. Bianchino, who co-owns the business with his wife, Michelle. “Every body needs its own individual kind of attention, and we’re here to help you figure out what works for you. Getting healthy is not about making a bunch of big changes all at once — it’s about introducing small adjustments that lead to longevity.”

The company’s new Central Avenue studio is easily three times as large as its previous premises on North Avenue, which means that the Bianchinos, their trainers and their staff will have the chance to stretch out in more ways than one.

“We can hold more classes here, we can host events, we can create wellness expos…we can do all of the stuff that we have always talked about doing but that we knew we couldn’t pull off without some extra space,” Mr. Bianchino said.

In addition to expanding their regular course of offerings, the crew at Out Run Your Fork is in the process of launching a new fitness program designed specifically for adults with physical and developmental disabilities.

GETTING STRONGER TOGETHER…Out Run Your Fork, a personal training and nutrition center now located on Central Avenue, has recently started a new fitness program for people with disabilities.

“Our daughter, Kira, is 22 years old, and she was born with Autism. Even though her mom and I are here at the gym all of the time, it can be really hard to get her up and moving. We’ve heard the same thing from other parents, so we know that there is a real need for something like this. We realized that we had to find a way to make it fun, so that’s what we’re trying to do,” Mr. Bianchino said.

The new special-needs classes follow the same format as the rest of Out Run Your Fork’s small-group sessions — limited attendance (up to five people per session), nutrition services, customizable workouts and plenty of individual attention.

“We’re starting out pretty small,” Mr. Bianchino said. “We’re not physical therapists or anything like that, so this program may not be for everyone, but so far, we’ve gotten a very positive response. We’re very excited to see where it goes from here.”

Out Run Your Fork offers in-person or online workout sessions seven days a week. For more information, call (908) 224-6855 or visit outrunyourfork.com.
