not so typical fitness

Personal Training with Rhiannon Cooper (AuDHD)

Fitness that works with your brain, not against it.

After being diagnosed with autism and ADHD at 30, everything clicked. Including why fitness felt harder, gym spaces felt overwhelming and why typical plans never stuck.

I’m a qualified personal trainer with lived experience, specialising in fitness for neurodivergent minds. My approach is reimagined to support sensory needs, executive function and real-life motivation.

With qualifications in gym instruction, nutrition and personal training (and more in progress) I combine professional tools with deep personal understanding to help you feel seen, supported and successful in your fitness journey.

Rhiannon Cooper is exercising by doing yoga on a pink mat outdoors in West Park, Wolverhampton.  There are green trees and bushes in the background. She is on her hands and knees, stretching, with a purple dumbbell nearby.

The Not So Typical Approach:

  • Sensory-Aware Training

    Environments, movements, and equipment selected to prevent overwhelm and maximise comfort.

  • Executive Function Support

    Flexible scheduling, reminders, and accountability systems that work with ADHD and autistic brains.

  • Routine Building

    Gradual, sustainable habit formation that avoids the burnout cycle

  • Embracing Your Strengths

    Focus on what your unique neurotype brings to fitness rather than trying to force neurotypical approaches.

  • Thank you for yesterday! You made me feel so much more comfortable at the gym! I felt so much better about using the bike & the rowing machine last night! So thank you! 😊
