Today, Talkspace, a leading online behavioral health care
company, announced it will team up with FlexIt, the leader in
virtual personal wellness, delivering personal training, nutrition,
yoga, and more. Together, they will bring a series of free IRL
outdoor fitness classes led by FlexIt’s talented coaches to New
York City’s five boroughs this summer. The classes are open to all
to promote and support teen wellness in the community.
“We are inspired by how many young people on our platform are
proactively addressing their mental health. This summer we want to
send a strong message to teens that self-care, movement, getting
outside and being part of a community are all elements that work in
tandem to promote your mental health and wellbeing,” said Natalie
Cummins, Chief Business Officer at Talkspace.
The 45-minute outdoor fitness classes will be taught by FlexIt’s
certified personal trainers and will combine physical fitness,
mindfulness, and heart-pumping fun for many levels of abilities.
The classes will be inspired by the company’s online virtual 1:1
training programs but will be taught in an inclusive group-class
format. Attendees will also gain special access to FlexIt’s
products and services.
"We are excited to be launching Teen Tuesdays with Talkspace in
an effort to emphasize the value of exercise and movement for teens
in our NYC community. This partnership, both through this series
and on a larger scale, reinforces both teams' commitments to making
physical and mental wellness as inclusive and accessible as
possible. Whether virtually or in person, fitness can improve
mental wellbeing and vice versa, and we look forward to showcasing
that with Talkspace,” said Austin Cohen, CEO of FlexIt.
Classes will begin on July 16th and run through August 13th as
follows:
- Staten Island | 7/16 | Franklin D. Roosevelt Boardwalk and
Beach
- Brooklyn | 7/23 | The Picnic House in Prospect Park
- Bronx | 7/30 | Van Cortland Park behind the Nature Center
