Grief, Sweat & Tears is a community-centered fitness experience designed for people navigating life after loss.
The idea is simple but intentional: we partner with NYC fitness studios to host a workout class followed by a casual mingle. Itโs not therapy or a support groupโjust shared movement, release, and a space to connect with others who get it.
Reservations are fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis. Classes are announced on Instagram with sign up links in our bio.
We recommend setting alerts for when we post on Instagram, as classes fill within minutes.
Grief, Sweat, & Tears was founded by Betsy Kaplan in December 2025, with the first-ever event in January 2026.
The concept was born from her experience after losing her dad, Joel, to suicide in 2018. Movement became an essential part of Betsyโs grief journey alongside therapy; a way to reconnect with her body, process emotion, and feel less alone.
