ACCESS STEAM
WHAT IS ACCESS STEAM?
Access Steam is an all-inclusive exercise and fitness program that is designed to meet the needs of individuals of ALL ages who have been diagnosed with cognitive, developmental or physical disabilities. The additional beauty of this unique program is that it is designed for not only the individual, but the families and loved ones of these individuals are encouraged to participate with them! Steamboat training programs have been heralded for their ability to create a healthy and nurturing environment that successfully fuses Fitness, Friendship, and Fun to help individuals prepare for the Steamboat Classic 4-mile or 4K race held on June 16, 2012.
