Mental Wellness Meets Fitness: Talkspace and FlexIt Partner to Bring Expanded Virtual Wellness to Their Members and Free Summer Fitness Classes to All Five Boroughs for #TeenTuesdays

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
  • Queens | 8/6 | Astoria Park Great Lawn at Ditmars Blvd
  • Manhattan | 8/13 |in Riverside Park*

Registration is open to everyone, with anyone under 18 requiring parent/guardian permission. For specific times, more information, and to register, please visit Eventbrite. *Locations and dates are subject to change.

This collaboration kicks off a continuing partnership between the two brands, whereby Talkspace’s members will be able to access up to $150 off their first month of FlexIt’s services and FlexIt members will be able to receive $100 off their first month of Talkspace therapy, if they are not currently covered by their insurance. Both companies are dedicated to providing their clients with the right tools to address their wellness from all angles and supporting them in their goals.
