The Neuroinclusive PT Toolkit

5 Frameworks That Help Neurodivergent Clients Actually Stay

A collection of five booklets titled "The Neuroinclusive PT Toolkit" by Rhiannon Cooper. The booklets present five frameworks for working with neurodivergent clients, including sensory-aware environment, executive function support, burnout-aware progression, gym anxiety and confidence, and strength and identity reframing. The covers are colorful with gradient backgrounds and bold text.

Stop losing clients who "just can't stay consistent." Start coaching with confidence, clarity, and ethics. ⬇

Your neurodivergent clients are:

  • Cancelling sessions with vague excuses

  • Going silent after week 3

  • Apologising for "not being motivated enough"

  • Blaming themselves for what your programming didn't account for

You're not seeing dropouts. You're seeing sensory overload, executive dysfunction, and burnout.

And most PT courses never taught you this.

"Push Through It" Isn't Coaching. It's Harm.

Neurodivergent clients don't need:

🅧 More discipline
🅧 Tougher love
🅧 "Just show up" speeches

They need:

✅ Sensory-safe environments
✅ ADHD-friendly structure
✅ Burnout-aware progression
✅ A coach who gets it

The Neuroinclusive PT Toolkit gives you 5 proven frameworks you can use tomorrow, without scrapping your entire coaching model.

5 Frameworks That Change How You Coach

1. Sensory-Aware Environment Framework Identify triggers (lighting, noise, crowds) and create safer gym spaces clients actually want to return to.

2. Executive Function Support Framework
 Structure sessions for ADHD and autistic brains: clear cues, task chunking, and realistic follow-through.

3. Burnout-Aware Progression Framework
 Progress without pushing clients into shutdown. Learn the difference between challenge and capacity breach.

4. Gym Anxiety & Confidence Framework
 Help clients decode gym culture, navigate unspoken rules, and build confidence through predictability.

5. Strength & Identity Reframing Framework
 Shift from punishment-based fitness to autonomy, trust, and sustainable movement.

Each framework includes:

  • Clear explanations

  • Real coaching examples

  • Reflection prompts for your practice

No guesswork. No nonsense. Just practical tools you can apply immediately.

This Toolkit Is For You If:

✔ You're a personal trainer or online coach working with the general population
✔ You've had clients ghost you and wondered what you missed
✔ You want to be inclusive but don't know where to start
✔ You're tired of watching good people quit fitness entirely

You don't need to be neurodivergent yourself.

You just need to be willing to adapt systems that exclude 15-20% of your potential clients.

This Isn't Another "Diversity Checklist"

Most inclusion resources give you:

  • Medical diagnosis lists you can't use

  • Performative language swaps

  • Theory with no application

This toolkit gives you:

  • ✅ Lived experience translated into PT practice

  • ✅ Retention strategies that work in real gyms

  • ✅ Ethical coaching tools you can use today

It's built for busy trainers who care about doing better work, not virtue signalling.

What PTs Are Saying

"I've worked with neurodivergent clients for years without realising it... This toolkit gave me language and structure for what I was already finding out."
 — JS Personal Trainer, JD Gyms

"Finally, a resource that doesn't treat inclusion like an add-on! This should be baseline PT education honestly"
 — CM Online Fitness Coach

About Rhiannon Cooper

I'm a neurodivergent personal trainer, strongwoman competitor, and founder of Not So Typical Fitness; a neuroinclusive coaching practice that's been featured in The Sun, ITV and viral content reaching 1M+ views.

I created this toolkit because:

  • Traditional gyms failed me (and countless others)

  • Neurodivergent clients were quietly disappearing from fitness

  • No one was teaching trainers how to actually coach inclusively

This work combines:

  • Lived neurodivergent experience

  • Professional PT practice (L3 qualified, JD Gyms trainer)

  • Advocacy and accessibility education

The Neuroinclusive PT Toolkit is the resource I needed when I started. Now it's yours.

Ready to Coach Better?

If you want to:

  • Stop losing neurodivergent clients

  • Build trust faster

  • Coach ethically and confidently

  • Actually understand what "inclusion" means in practice

Do I need special qualifications?

No. This complements your existing PT skills.

Is this only for autistic/ADHD clients?

They benefit most, but these frameworks improve coaching for everyone.

Is this CPD certified?

Not currently; it's a practical education resource for immediate application.
