Black History Month is an opportunity to reflect on the importance of access, equity, and trust in health and wellness.

For decades, Black communities have faced barriers to quality healthcare and fitness. This isn't due to lack of effort, but due to lack of access, representation, and systems designed with their needs in mind.

At fit20, we believe strength training should be: 👉 evidence-based
👉 respectful of all bodies
👉 accessible, sustainable, and safe

True health equity isn’t about trends or performative gestures. It’s about building systems that work for real people, long-term.

At fit20, we remain committed to education, inclusion, and creating environments where everyone feels supported in their pursuit of strength and health!

"The American Heart Association (AHA) says that for healthy adults, a regular program of weight training not only increases muscle strength and endurance, it also improves heart and lung function, enhances glucose metabolism, reduces coronary disease risk factors, and boosts well-being. When our muscles are stronger, there is less demand placed on the heart. This allows the lungs to process more oxygen with less effort, the heart to pump more blood with fewer beats, and the blood supply directed to your muscles to increase."

"Strength training as a component of a cardiac rehabilitation program is well-recognized by clinicians; however, it is now just coming to the forefront of preventive medicine for its profound effect in reducing the risks of cardiovascular disease."

"We are now learning that maximum increases in strength and cardiovascular fitness can be obtained from one type of exercise—strength training. Properly applied, strength training simultaneously engages both the muscular system and the cardiovascular system."

Hello fit20, hello healthy heart 💚!

💚 Happy HEART Month 💚

At fit20, we believe true strength includes prevention, preparedness, and long-term cardiovascular health.

Our training method consists of short, controlled, high-intensity strength sessions and has been shown to support heart health by improving blood pressure, insulin sensitivity, and overall metabolic function, all without joint stress or excessive cardio volume. Just 20 minutes per week, done safely and consistently, can create meaningful cardiovascular benefits over time.

That commitment to whole-person health is why our team recently completed CPR & AED training with !

💬 Team Testimonial:
“This training gave us confidence. Knowing exactly what to do in a cardiac emergency is something every workplace should prioritize. Gwyneth’s Gift Foundation made the experience practical, supportive, and incredibly impactful.”

Because caring for hearts means strengthening them and being ready to protect them. 💚

What do people who live to 100+ years credit their longevity to? 👵👴

Do you want to know what they almost never mention? Working out

In the world’s longest-living regions (often called the Blue Zones) movement looks very different with an emphasis on staying physically independent for as long as possible. Movement there is integrated into daily life.
💡 No extremes. Just consistency.

This philosophy mirrors how we think about training at fit20. Our approach isn’t about extremes. It’s about controlled, sustainable strength, practiced consistently over time and supporting real life, real bodies, and long-term independence.

Longevity isn’t built on extreme habits.
It’s built quietly, through sustainable habits you can maintain for decades. ✅

🎄 Grateful. Grounded. Growing. 🎄

As we close out this year, we want to pause and celebrate the people who make our fit20 corporate studios what they are — our team and our members.

2025 brought unprecedented growth for our studios. New members. Stronger communities. Higher standards. And none of it happened by accident. It happened because of people.

Todd is the heartbeat of the member experience. He brings energy, motivation, and genuine care into every session and every interaction. He has a rare ability to make people feel seen, supported, and capable — exactly where progress begins. Adam is our calm in the chaos. He brings structure, efficiency, efficiency, and consistency that keep our studios running smoothly while ensuring members get the most out of every 20-minute session. Thoughtful, steady, and deeply reliable. Robert is our standard-bearer. A true educator and safety-first leader, he ensures our training is not only effective, but exceptional. His depth of knowledge, mentorship, and commitment to excellence elevate everyone around him. Debora brings precision, quality, and alignment to every session. She has a strong attention to detail and a deep respect for the fit20 method, ensuring members feel confident, challenged, and cared for. Sam brings youthful energy, curiosity, and a strong willingness to learn. His enthusiasm and openness make him a valued part of our team and an important part of our future.

And to our members — thank you.

Thank you for trusting us with your health.
Thank you for showing up, staying consistent, and believing in the process. Thank you for being the reason we do what we do.

This year reminded us that strength is built together — quietly, intentionally, and consistently. We’re incredibly proud of how far we’ve come, and even more excited about where we’re headed.

Wishing our fit20 family a Merry Christmas and a strong, healthy New Year 💚

According to worlddiabetesday.org, "1 in 10 adults worldwide have diabetes. Over 90% have type 2 diabetes. Close to half are not yet diagnosed. In many cases, type 2 diabetes and its complications can be delayed or prevented by adopting and maintaining healthy habits. Knowing your risk and what to do is important to support prevention, early diagnosis and timely treatment." The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends regular exercise for people with diabetes as well as those at the pre-diabetic stage. fit20 offers a training program that is ideal for people with diabetes. Our training method triggers a strong insulin receptor response, making them more sensitive. This is because our training consumes large amounts of glycogen. Furthermore, we strongly activate all muscle fiber types and trigger the release of large amounts of myokines. All the while, we keep the training ultra-safe and controlled. People who do fit20 often notice real-life results in just a few weeks, and fit20 is easy and convenient to stick with!

🌟 Member Testimonial – Carolyn M. 🌟
fit20 Cosner’s Corner | Member since 2019

Trainer: Why did you decide to come train with fit20?
Carolyn: “I sort of believe in coincidences… one day I couldn’t lift a 40lb bag of mulch without cutting it in half. The very next day, I saw an ad for fit20. The encouragement about strength and longevity—not bikini bodies—impressed me. I joined six years ago this month, and at 76, I plan on being here until I can’t!”

Trainer: What improvements have you noticed?
Carolyn: “My energy is steadier, and I can carry that 40lb mulch bag with no problem. My stamina and strength are way up, and even my sister noticed how toned my arms and shoulders had become. That was a big surprise!”

Trainer: How does fit20 compare to other programs?
Carolyn: “I don’t like gyms. I loved yoga for many years, but I stayed away from weights. At fit20, the resistance training works to my benefit, and it’s unlike anything else. My doctor tells me I’ll be around longer than I’d like—so I’ll do it the best way I can!”

Trainer: How would you describe your fit20 experience?
Carolyn: “It’s one of the best disciplines I’ve ever committed to. The people here are so positive—no negativity, ever. My trainers are supportive and encouraging and are sticklers for breathing and form. I love it here.”

💚 At 76 years young, Carolyn is proof that strength training is for every stage of life. One workout a week, 20 minutes, lasting results.

At fit20, our machines are set at high resistance, but you move at a slow speed. The slow movement speed in combination with a cooled training studio (63˚F) means your body does not necessarily get a “sweat stimulus”. Your energy is used to deliver your top performance for that week. No hassle with changing and showering, you just train in everyday clothes!

The holidays are a magical time, but that doesn’t mean you should throw all your good habits out the window. In fact, physical activity during the holidays may be more important than at any other time of the year.

Exercise can help you combat stress, prevent weight gain, help you maintain your good habits, get you off the couch, keep your gains intact, boost your energy, and even help you manage anxiety and depression.

Also, holiday physical activity will make it so much easier to hit new fitness goals in the New Year. While everyone else is nursing a holiday hangover and starting from scratch, you’ll already be feeling and looking better than ever.
