Welcome to Spectrum Strength Fitness, where dedication to inclusive fitness meets a passion for making a difference. At Spectrum Strength Fitness, we believe that everyone deserves access to quality fitness programs that cater to their unique needs and abilities. Founded by Angela Lombara, a seasoned Registered Behaviour Analyst of Ontario/Board Certified Behavior Analyst with a profound commitment to enhancing the lives of individuals with Autism and developmental disabilities.

 

Angela's journey spans over a decade, during which she witnessed firsthand the detrimental effects of inactivity on physical health and daily functioning. She has seen how a sedentary lifestyle can lead to health issues like obesity, cardiovascular problems and muscular weakness —  limiting mobility and independence.

Angela further observed that the lack of a fitness habit affects cognitive functioning and mood regulation, sometimes leading to increased frustration, agitation, and behavioral difficulties. She noticed a cycle where physical inactivity and diminished functional capacity isolated her clients further from social interaction and community engagement.  Motivated by this experience, Angela resolved to break the cycle by establishing Spectrum Strength Fitness, a haven for specialized fitness programming aimed at achieving better physical and emotional well-being for all participants.

 

At Spectrum Strength Fitness, we understand the barriers individuals with developmental disabilities face when it comes to engaging in fitness activities. From limited resources and inadequate facilities to a lack of specialized programs, we recognize the challenges and are committed to overcoming them.Our approach is rooted in personalized training programs tailored to individual abilities and needs. Angela's expertise allows us to bridge the gap between fitness and behavior management, utilizing Applied Behaviour Analysis and other supports, to ensure that each Individual receives the support and guidance necessary to achieve their goals.

 

At Spectrum Strength Fitness, we firmly believe that fitness is a vital life skill—one that, like any other, can be taught, mastered, and sustained over time.We strongly advocate for inclusive fitness initiatives and are dedicated to fostering an environment that embraces and supports everyone. Join us at Spectrum Strength Fitness and together, we can break barriers, build confidence, and promote a positive mindset for a healthier, happier life.

​

When she's not training others, Angela cherishes quality time with her family, loves running long distances on nature trails, and has a passion for crafting miniature plants out of paper.
