Inclusive Fitness: Training Neurodivergent Bodies and Brains | Episode 34

Your brain isn't broken, your workout just isn't built for you! In this episode of Talk Your Abs Off, I sit down with fellow personal trainer Rhiannon Cooper to talk about fitness through the lens of ADHD and autism. This conversation is especially close to my heart because working with neurodivergent clients is an area I care deeply about and one that is still wildly underrepresented in the fitness space. Rhiannon is a late diagnosed autistic ADHD personal trainer based in the UK and the founder of Not So Typical Fitness. She specializes in neuroinclusive training and works with clients who have felt overwhelmed, excluded, or misunderstood in typical gym environments. She brings both professional knowledge and lived experience into this conversation, which makes it especially powerful. We break down what it means to be autistic and ADHD, how those traits can show up in exercise routines, and why consistency, motivation, and discipline can feel so hard for neurodivergent brains. We talk about routine versus novelty, sensory overwhelm in gyms, and how internal sensations can feel unsafe for some people. We discuss how neurodivergent friendly fitness focuses on autonomy, flexibility, and helping people feel safe and confident in their bodies. This episode is for anyone with ADHD or autism who has struggled to stick with fitness, felt like they were bad at exercise, or wondered why standard workout advice never seemed to work. If you want a more compassionate, sustainable approach to movement that works with your brain instead of against it, this conversation is for you.
