- $283,596 spent. Bloom Fitness offers in-person group fitness classes in indoor cycle, Pilates, strength, dance, yoga, and chair for our Partner providers at day habilitation facilities. Bloom offers a video library of almost 70 different 30-minute classes for individuals to participate in anytime, anywhere. Bloom also provides a virtual program called BloomLive! where individuals can participate in a live fitness class with interaction with one of our amazing instructors. All of our Partners and Participants have access to our Bloom Fitness app. Through the app, Athletes can participate in BloomLive or any of the online recorded videos.
- Currently, we have 50 locations across 7 different states where live classes are conducted at Partner providers. Bloom has approximately 2,300 athletes in our program from Partners and Individual Athletes, and generates approximately 4,600 experieces a week for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. An experience is defined as an individual participating in a class.
- The success of Bloom Fitness is driven by offering people with IDD a robust community to be part of, that is based on a sense of belonging, pride, and being loved. There are many ways that this is accomplished, but much of it is done through our goal system that honors our athletes for what they have earned. The result is a 90+ percent retention rate, which is rare for most fitness programs.
