March 2020, as the world hit PAUSE, fitness classes went online overnight. There was then, and still is, a dearth of offerings for adults who…
- transitioning into regular exercise
- require physical accommodation
- are over 60 years old.
Spring 2020, by request, I began to stream online workouts from my tiny NYC apartment.
Now shO™️ LIVE has an archive of online science-based musical workouts designed to be INCLUSIVE, FUN, EFFICIENT and FUN.
What is a shO?
A shO is a 45-minute, inclusive, cognitive and physical fitness workout organized thematically, musically, in the spirit of a Broadway show.
For those who are unable to attend in-person workouts, we offer a range of calisthenic programs presented with a bit of flair and a sense of humor. It is a unique joy-filled experience that challenges your body and BRAIN. There presently are over 200 shO workouts archived from the last three years.
We unapologetically serve older adults and ANYONE open to PLAY.
Hosted on the BAND App for Groups. The workouts are performed LIVE and remain available 24/7 to be viewed at your leisure.

We believe physical fitness encompasses emotional, psychological, and social well-being. The online platform allows us to approach fitness creatively and boldly color outside the lines. The emphasis on "enter-train-ment" allows us to take out the mental and emotional experience of failing. If you strip away the "CAMP" facade, H2shO™️ is first and foremost a science-based FITNESS program.
Presenting on video affords us an opportunity to do things that would not work in-person, like adding color commentary on the music and pop cultural touchstones from the 1930’s to the present.
As many older adults feel excluded from participating in digital technology, I sought to make it as easy as possible. And I have the benefit of an 83-year old mom to be my test subject.
The BAND app, a free communication app for groups, has been a perfect home to create a one-stop, no muss, no fuss streaming experience. The platform is extremely user-friendly.
You can view the workout on your phone, tablet or on any computer browser. You can project the workout from your device to a SMART TV.
Unlike other platforms, you don't need a special web link, the moderator has stricter controls of privacy and content sharing. Participants can also send me direct messages within the app and we can even create multi-person face-to-face training experiences.
Lastly, my mom approves.
