Talkfit
A virtual gathering that keeps the Walkfit community connected — one conversation at a time.
What is Talkfit?
Talkfit is the virtual companion to Walkfit; a monthly online gathering designed to keep the spirit of connection alive when meeting in person isn't possible. While Walkfit brings people together through physical and social activity in outdoor settings, Talkfit offers a physically distanced way to stay engaged, build friendships, and share experiences from the comfort of home.
Born out of the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Talkfit was launched to support Walkfit participants, both visually impaired individuals and volunteers, who were suddenly cut off from regular in-person interactions. As Walkfit adapted to changing circumstances, not everyone was able to physically participate. Talkfit was created as a response to that reality, offering a way to maintain connection, combat social isolation, and ensure no one felt left behind.
Where and when does Talkfit take place?
Talkfit takes place the old-fashioned way - over the phone. With no visual components, these audio-only conversations create a level playing field where all participants can engage equally.
Talkfit calls are held on the third Monday of every month from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Just pick up the phone and join the conversation.
