In today’s episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, Christine and Brian welcome an amazing human by the name of David Geslak! Recently nominated as a finalist for the 2022 IDEA Fitness Leader of the Year Award, David shares how he fell in love with helping those with Autism live more healthy and happy lives. As a former strength and conditioning coach who opened his own gym soon after graduating college, he had no idea that one child would completely “change my career path.” Nineteen years later and now president and founder of Exercise Connection, David Geslak is focused on building relationships and implementing individualized exercise programs using evidence-based strategies for those with Autism. In addition, David is on a mission to educate fitness professionals and medical fitness professionals how to better serve this growing demographic through his ACSM Autism Fitness Specialist Course as well as developing an APP that is currently being implemented in 7 different research studies. David Geslak is a true leader in his work and you can find out more about him and his amazing team of trainers at www.exerciseconnection.com.
