FAQ – Spectrum Coaching

1. What is Spectrum Coaching?

Spectrum Coaching is Vancovuer’s first coaching service designed exclusively for individuals with ADHD and ASD. We offer two specialized programs:

  • Spectrum Fitness Coaching – Personal training and movement therapy designed for neurodivergent bodies and minds.

  • Spectrum Life Coaching – Executive function and mindset coaching focused on organization, focus, motivation, and emotional balance.

Both services are built around structure, adaptability, and compassion—helping you reach your goals without burnout.

2. How is Spectrum Fitness Coaching different from regular personal training?

Unlike standard personal training, Spectrum Fitness Coaching is designed for neurodivergent individuals who need flexibility, patience, and an understanding of how ADHD and ASD impact motivation and focus.
Our approach includes:

  • Flexible workouts for fluctuating energy and attention

  • Executive function strategies to build long-term consistency

  • Sensory-conscious environments to reduce overstimulation

  • Mindfulness and grounding techniques to calm the nervous system

This isn’t “bootcamp-style” training—it’s fitness that works with your brain, not against it.
