About Our Classes
FIT Together classes are based upon two decades worth of research testing exercise programs for cancer survivors. The programs were developed to improve muscle, bone and joint health that can decline from the combined effects of aging and cancer treatment. Thus, FIT Together classes focus on strengthening exercises (Strength and Strength/Cardio classes) and mobility (Yoga classes). The programs were also designed to allow participation no matter a person’s age, fitness level, or exercise experience. We are also firm believers in the “power of the group”, thus all classes are delivered in a group setting. The social support and camaraderie that comes from exercising with others can help people stick to exercise better and provides a sense of community and belongingness that has additional health benefits.
All FIT Together classes are streamed live online only. You can practice from the comfort of your home, backyard, or any other setting from which you are able to access internet content.

Chair yoga is a form of yoga practice in which postures are performed while seated and/or with the aid of a chair. Just like a regular yoga class, chair yoga can improve flexibility, strength, general body awareness and wellbeing. Standing poses are assisted by the chair and in the long term can have positive effects on balance and stability. Emphasizing the use of the breath in the movement of the body and practicing from a stance of curiosity and self-acceptance, this chair yoga class can be helpful for those suffering from chronic pain, osteoporosis, muscle weakness or other conditions that might affect balance or for anyone who has difficulty getting down to and up from the floor.

In the Exercising Together© class you and your partner will engage in teamwork-based upper and lower body resistance exercises using one’s body weight and/or resistance bands. All exercises focus on functional movement patterns that are important for everyday activities. This class is recommended to those with little to no experience with resistance training, but is also suitable for those already familiar with resistance exercise. All exercises can be adapted to one’s physical abilities. This class is specifically designed for couples where partners help coach one another during resistance exercises and also perform “tandem” exercises where you work together to do the movement. The partnered approach is designed to provide an atmosphere of teamwork (communication, support, encouragement) and fun within and between the couples, enriching the exercise experience for both partners.
