WELCOME TO DRAGON HEART FIT CLUB—A SPACE WHERE AGING IS A BADGE OF HONOR, STRENGTH IS CELEBRATED, AND MOVEMENT IS PURE JOY.
At Dragon Heart, we believe aging isn’t about slowing down—it’s about stepping into your power and redefining what’s possible. This isn’t your typical senior fitness program. We’re here to smash stereotypes, build confidence, and create a vibrant community where older adults can thrive, laugh, and move like the unstoppable forces they are.
WHY WE'RE HERE
Falls are the leading cause of independence loss among older adults—but it doesn’t have to be that way. Regular strength and balance training can make all the difference, and we’re on a mission to make those tools accessible, fun, and deeply empowering.
Dragon Heart Fit Club was born out of a simple but bold idea: aging can be badass. Forget the boring, cookie-cutter fitness programs. Our classes are playful, creative, and full of life, because we know that exercise is about more than just reps and sets. It’s about connecting with your body, feeling confident in every step, and embracing the magic of movement.
WHAT WE OFFER
We bring the gym to you—no commute, no stress, just real results. Our live online classes and on-demand library are designed to help you stay strong, balanced, and mobile at your own pace. From expert-led workouts to a supportive community of like-minded movers, we’re here to make fitness something you actually look forward to.
THE DRAGON HEART DIFFERENCE
Dragon Heart isn’t just a fitness club—it’s a movement. Our classes are packed with creativity, curiosity, and a healthy dose of silliness to keep things fresh and exciting. Led by a coach who’s as passionate about strength as they are about joy, you’ll find yourself laughing, exploring, and discovering a deeper connection to your body every step of the way.
We believe in autonomy, accessibility, and showing up for yourself with consistency and courage. Whether you’re here to prevent falls, build strength, or just have a damn good time, Dragon Heart is your place to move, grow, and feel unstoppable.
DRAGON HEART HISTORY
Dragon Heart Fit Club was born out of a class that I taught at the Pike Market Senior Center in Seattle Washington from 2020 - 2025. I was hired to teach yoga and also a fall prevention fitness program called SAIL, an acronym for Stay Active and Independent for Life. SAIL is an evidence based exercise protocol for older adults that supports strength, balance and mobility for aging bodies, and to my surprise and delight became one of my bodies favorite ways to be cared for.
Our class started in person at the Senior Center but had to move online when we were all faced with Covid-19. As a group we quickly adapted to doing the exercises at home and it became a way to stay connected, see our friends, be strong and feel good during such a difficult time. Folks invited their friends and family from all over the country, even the world (we have members in London and Tahiti!) and our class grew into an expanded and vibrant online community.
As the world moved back into in person events the senior center needed to focus on funding in person programming and since I had moved to Portland they needed to hire someone new. This of course was hard news for me to hear, but it also was the catalyst for this new business and wonderful online community to grow. There is a large population of folks that prefer or need to do this type of exercise at home. And removing the commute to and from class helps keep folks consistent, which is key in this work. Turns out the world needs DragonHeart Fit Club so we exist!
I appreciate you taking the time to check us out! Come be a part of the fun!
