Abstract: Background: Young adults with intellectual disabilities experience significant cardiometabolic health disparities which may inhibit progress towards independence, underscoring the need for targeted interventions. This study examined how individuals with intellectual disabilities and caregivers perceived the relevance and acceptability of a cooking and fitness skills intervention. Methods: Fourteen semi‐structured post‐intervention interviews with individuals with intellectual disabilities and their caregivers queried preferences, challenges, benefits and impacts of a cooking skills and functional fitness intervention called CHEF‐ID. Results were analysed thematically. Results: Four themes were identified: (1) autonomy and competence in everyday life; (2) enriching experiences and relationships; (3) suggestions for programme enhancement; and (4) meeting a community need. Conclusions: Interviewees valued enhanced autonomy and competence for physical activity and cooking skills and made meaningful social connections, although participants differed in their preference for individual versus group work. Transportation was a frequently cited challenge. Future interventions should consider these factors to optimise programme design. Lay Summary: Young adults with intellectual disabilities and their caregivers shared their perspectives of participating in a 12‐week programme that taught cooking skills and functional exercises.Participants reported gaining confidence and independence in cooking and physical activities at home, with caregivers noting these skills helped young adults become more self‐sufficient in daily life.While many participants valued the social connections and friendships formed during the programme, some preferred working alone, suggesting that future programmes should offer flexible options to meet different learning preferences.Caregivers emphasised that the programme met a community need, though transportation to programme sessions was a common challenge that needs to be addressed in future programme planning.
