Welcome
CrazyFitnessGuy® was founded on April 12, 2017 to support people who want to live healthier lives in a calm, realistic way. Today, it focuses on autistic and neurodivergent adults who feel overwhelmed by typical fitness and wellness advice.
About CrazyFitnessGuy®
CrazyFitnessGuy® is an autistic‑led health and wellness platform created by Jimmy Clare, an autistic motivational speaker and autism advocate. It includes articles, a podcast, live streams, and resources that talk honestly about health, routines, and life through autistic eyes.
Instead of shouting “no excuses,” the brand focuses on small, doable changes, self‑compassion, and practical tools that fit real energy levels, sensory needs, and executive‑function challenges. Whether you are just starting or already deep into your wellness journey, you will find motivation that does not ignore your limits.
What makes CrazyFitnessGuy® different?
Most health and fitness websites focus on workouts, diets, and gear—but rarely on how to start, how to stay motivated, or what it feels like to do all of this as an autistic or neurodivergent adult. CrazyFitnessGuy® fills that gap by combining wellness with autism advocacy, mental health, and lived experience.
Jimmy talks openly about bullying, spinal stenosis, anxiety, and everyday challenges, and he turns those experiences into tools and encouragement instead of shame or pressure. Everyone has different bodies, brains, and limits, and CrazyFitnessGuy® respects that.

On CrazyFitnessGuy® you will find content about:

If you do not always have the energy to read, you can also listen to The CrazyFitnessGuy® Show podcast or tune into Weekly Motivation, a calm live stream for autistic and neurodivergent adults.
Who this is for
CrazyFitnessGuy® is for autistic and neurodivergent adults—and supportive allies—who:
Want to live healthier but do not know where to start
Need motivation and encouragement without judgment
Want to hear from someone else on the autism spectrum
Have experienced bullying, medical challenges, or feeling “behind”
Need someone who will not give up on them
The goal is to help you build a healthier life that works with your brain and your body, not against them.
The driving force behind the brand
The mission of CrazyFitnessGuy® is to make health and wellness more accessible, realistic, and respectful for autistic and neurodivergent adults around the world. Everyone has limits, but that does not mean there are no options.
Starting is often the hardest part—especially when you are dealing with pain, sensory overload, or burnout. Jimmy knows this first‑hand: he has spinal stenosis, inward‑pointing knees, and is autistic, and he still found sustainable ways to move more, eat better, and take care of his mind. If he can find alternatives, you can too, at your own pace.
What readers say
Readers and listeners share that CrazyFitnessGuy® makes them feel less alone, more understood, and more motivated to try small changes instead of giving up. Many appreciate hearing directly from an autistic host who “gets it” and does not pretend that mindset or motivation are easy.

About Jimmy Clare
Jimmy Clare is an autistic motivational speaker, autism advocate, author, and the founder of CrazyFitnessGuy®. His path has included medical challenges, bullying, and a long list of people underestimating him—and he has made a career out of proving them wrong.
Jimmy was born on October 9 in Millburn, New Jersey, United States. Doctors told his parents he might never walk without braces or crutches. He went through nine ear surgeries, plus three surgeries in a single day (six wisdom teeth, two moles, and his last ear procedure), and he lives with spinal stenosis that makes turning his head painful and difficult.
What makes Jimmy unique?
Jimmy is autistic (diagnosed with Non‑Verbal Learning Disorder) and sees that as his unique advantage, not a weakness. Growing up, he thought being different was something to hide, but as an adult he has embraced his identity and uses it to connect with other autistic and neurodivergent people.
He brings that perspective into every talk, article, and podcast episode, explaining health and mindset in ways that make sense for people who think and feel differently.
Dedicated and always improving
Jimmy practices what he shares with his audience:
He works out regularly and is training for his black belt at Tiger Schulmann’s Karate.
He has been exercising consistently for over 10 years.
He reads books and listens to podcasts about self‑improvement, time management, and personal growth.
He has studied media and communication to become a stronger creator and speaker.
His long‑term goal is to continue growing as a well‑known autistic motivational speaker and creator, reaching audiences around the world.
Practices What He Preaches
Jimmy practices what he preaches every day.
If he makes a mistake, he does not give up; he adjusts, learns, and tries again.
He believes progress is built on patience, persistence, and self‑compassion, not perfection.
He is one of a kind—his combination of lived experience, work ethic, and honesty is not something that can be easily replaced or replicated.
A life of uphill battles—and progress
Throughout his life, Jimmy has faced:
Being bigger around the middle as a kid and needing to change his habits
Bullying from elementary school through high school
Nine ear surgeries and ongoing spinal stenosis
The challenges of growing up autistic in a world that did not always understand him
He has used each of those experiences to fuel his advocacy and to create content that helps others feel seen and supported.
Fun facts about Jimmy:
He is training toward his black belt at Tiger Schulmann’s Karate.
He has completed many workout programs, including P90X, 80 Day Obsession, LIIFT4, Body Beast, Transform 20, T25, and Morning Meltdown 100.
What Makes Him Different From Other Public Speakers?
Jimmy is no ordinary public speaker.
He was diagnosed with Non‑Verbal Learning Disorder (a form of autism), and he sees this as his unique advantage.
Growing up, he did not fully understand what autism was and worried that being different meant something was wrong with him.
Now, as an adult, he embraces his identity and uses his story to encourage others not to hide who they are.
He talks openly about autism, bullying, health, and resilience so his audiences know they are not alone.
