Heart Strong

Personal fitness for people living with heart conditions.

You've been cleared to exercise. But "exercise more" doesn't exactly tell you what to do next.

Heart Strong is personalized, approachable fitness support for adults living with congenital or acquired heart conditions who want to build strength, mobility, balance, endurance, and confidence with movement.

Who Heart Strong is for

A supportive place to keep moving forward.

Adults living with congenital heart disease (CHD)
Adults returning to exercise after receiving medical clearance
Older adults living with cardiovascular disease
People who have completed cardiac rehabilitation and want support continuing an active lifestyle
People who feel unsure or intimidated about returning to a traditional fitness environment

Fitness that meets you where you are

Personal, practical, and built around you.

Sessions may incorporate appropriate strength training, mobility, balance, functional movement, yoga-based movement, and general cardiovascular fitness based on your goals, abilities, experience, and healthcare guidance.

This is fitness support that feels encouraging and empowering, not clinical. Heart Strong is about helping you feel capable and confident moving your body.
