PERSONAL TESTIMONIALS
Lesli Moore Dahlke
“My treasure has been the immeasurable “gift” of meeting Fit 4 The Cause’s Founder, Cindy Rakowitz. I am a survivor. But, since meeting and working with Cindy – I am now Thriving! This week, I went to The City of Hope for my lab work and check-up with my oncologist. The results are in and quite simply…..I am outstanding. I have never been this fit, developing core strength, and healthier in general. Cindy’s passion for fitness proves she is a consummate professional. Her focus is on her client’s personal needs and attention to detail. All the time making it fun — a winning combination! I have accomplished and achieved a fantastic victory of well-being. Her techniques are spot-on. Deeply devoted and dedicated to her clients, her energizing spirit is infectious!”

“Eternally thankful to Fit 4 the Cause’s Founder, Cindy Rakowitz for giving her time, passion and knowledge at our weekly community class. This community class is open to everyone at no charge. The Fit 4 The Cause community makes you feel welcome immediately. Even as a novice, I have fun and easily follow along. This class is motivating and allows you to concentrate on being in the moment. When the class ends, I have so much energy that lasts through the weekend. I also want to thank my friend, Hallie Blau who is a F4TC Board Member and always at my side, cheering me on and helping me out in this one-of-a-kind group fitness class.”

Because of You….we brought Zoom powered group fitness classes to our most vulnerable participants immediately after lockdown.

While keeping safe at home, these fragile groups continue exercising, mitigating social isolation, obesity, depression and compromised immune systems.

WALT & PAM CHANDLER
“At any time during life, but especially during a pandemic, an exercise group not only helps you stay healthy but also offers a very valuable social and emotional outlet. It’s how we can connect with others.”

DIANE BLACKMAN
“At a time when I was feeling helpless, online classes helped more than I could begin to say. Cindy and the organization inspire so many.”
Diane lives in NYC and was unable to continue to exercise when stay at home orders began. She cant express how difficult it was to be in New York City at that time. It was the epicenter of Covid 19 and NYC was in lockdown. The streets were deserted. It was emotionally grueling and traumatizing. Training with Fit 4 the Cause allowed Diane to get back into a routine and she has been so grateful. Her Zoom sessions gave her a way to recharge…
