Buddy Up Fitness

Empowering individuals with Down syndrome through fitness, friendship, and fun

Program Description

UnCharted’s buddy up fitness program is a program to empower individuals with Down syndrome inside of the gym. This class provides a supportive and inclusive environment for these individuals to learn and enjoy fitness! 


We have amazing volunteers called buddy’s that help with the group class experience. Our buddies are partners with athletes to provide support, track progress and develop friendships! We want our participants to develop physical abilities, gain confidence in everyday living and experience the beauty of the fitness community!
