Spartan Recipient Program Audit
San Jose’s Best-Kept Secret for Affordable, High-Quality Adaptive Fitness
📽️ Spartan Recipient Program: A Win-Win Partnership
Located at the Timpany Center in San Jose, the Spartan Recipient Program pairs community members with disabilities with San Jose State University student interns. This program provides personalized, one-on-one training designed specifically for individuals with mobility complications or chronic conditions.
You act as a mentor to a student intern while they act as your personal trainer. For roughly $180 per semester, you receive two sessions per week (one in the pool, one in the gym). It is a highly subsidized way to access professional-level Kinesiology expertise.
🤝 1-on-1 Personalized Attention
During your 4-month membership, interns create a "Case Study" based on your progress. This structure helps them earn their degree while helping you improve your strength and range of motion. It provides the professional oversight needed to make real physical gains in a supportive environment.
🏊 The 92° Therapy Pool
The Timpany Center features a 100,000-gallon warm water pool with a zero-entry ramp. You can roll a specialized water wheelchair directly into the water, eliminating the need for mechanical lifts. The therapeutic temperature is perfect for pain relief and muscle relaxation.
🏋️ Specialized Inclusive Land Gym
The fitness center is equipped with accessible cable machines and upper-body ergometers (arm bikes) designed for wheelchair users. The entire building features barrier-free architecture, including zero-grade entry and bariatric-sized changing tables in the locker rooms.
