Meet Us
Pete Phillips is a Pennsylvania state certified Physical Education Teacher who currently teaches adaptive Health & Physical Education at a School for the Blind. He has eight years of experience in special education, has founded programs to teach sports and the related social skills to those with ASD, and has previously taught physical education at a school for Autism. His abundance of experience in special education, behavioral techniques and adapting activities to promote growth and individual success are what separate Full Spectrum Fitness from typical personal trainers.
After completing his degree in Health & Physical Education, Pete began his career in education as an Autistic Support paraprofessional. It was in this setting that he became aware of the lack of access to proper fitness programs for neurodiverse individuals. His goal is to make fitness fun and attainable to the neurodiverse population, helping the individual to gain confidence and independence in performing activities of daily living.
Pete is a Level 1 Autism Fitness certified Trainer, is First Aid, A.E.D, C.P.R, Safety Care and C.P.I certified and has up to date clearances, which will be provided at the initial consultation.
