Fitness Unplugged: Inclusive Strength for All | Bakersfield News

In Bakersfield, Fitness Unplugged is revolutionizing how people experience the gym — turning it into a sanctuary for those who feel overwhelmed or excluded. Owner Jason Coontz, who lives with ADHD, built this space to be welcoming for everyone, from neurodivergent individuals to those with physical disabilities. He tailors workouts around clients’ interests and comfort levels, helping them fall in love with fitness without pressure. With financial support from the Kern Regional Center, access is expanded for families who might otherwise struggle. Coontz’s vision? To scale this model across Bakersfield and inspire other gyms to embrace inclusion — proving that fitness can be joyful, accessible, and deeply personal for all.
