GriefFit: Where Healing Meets Movement

A grief-informed training program for fitness professionals, coaches, and gyms — because grief doesn’t stay at the door of your studio.

Why

GriefFit?

Grief affects more than emotions — it impacts sleep, energy, appetite, focus, and physical strength. Trainers, coaches, and gyms are on the front lines of supporting people who are grieving, yet most professionals aren’t trained in how to respond.

GriefFit bridges the gap between fitness and grief education by equipping you to:

  • Recognize how grief shows up in the body.

  • Offer compassionate, safe support for clients who are grieving.

  • Create spaces where movement becomes part of healing.

  • Retain clients who might otherwise drop out during loss.

What’s Included in GriefFit

For gyms, coaches, and trainers, GriefFit provides:

  • Professional Education – workshops on grief and the body, communication skills, and practical strategies for client support.

  • Movement Frameworks – grief-informed exercise routines that respect the limits of fatigue, emotional energy, and trauma triggers.

  • Trainer & Coach Resources – handouts, scripts, and reflection prompts for working with grieving clients.

  • Community Support – access to a network of grief-informed fitness professionals.

  • Certification Pathway – an official way to market yourself as a Grief-Informed Trainer or Gym.
