*Monthly group/community event
The Blind Fitness Beach Walk and Run for Health offers a monthly opportunity for people who are blind or have low vision to get outside, exercise, engage with the community, and be proactive in caring for their mental and physical health. The group meets one Saturday a month at East Beach. Each participant sets their own goal for distance and pace, and if needed, is paired with a trained volunteer human guide to walk, jog, or run along the Santa Barbara waterfront. At the beginning of each event, we offer hands-on training for new volunteers to learn how to be a sighted human guide. All are welcome and encouraged to participate.

*Ongoing group/community event
Come pedal with us at our next Blind Fitness Waterfront Surrey Bike Ride, where we rent surrey bikes from Wheel Fun Rentals. A surrey bike is a four-wheeled quadricycle, with a two or four-seated covered carriage and has an open bench seat where everyone can pedal together. Surrey bikes are perfect for people who are blind or have low vision to safely get outside and engage in cycling and physical activity while also getting to socialize.

*Annual events
Experience the joy of riding waves with the support of professional surf instructors while meeting new friends! We partner with surf organizations to offer accessible surfing opportunities to people with vision loss. All equipment needs are included!

*Ongoing online and in-person classes taught by a variety of instructors
Experience the gifts of yoga with the added descriptive layer from professionally trained yoga instructors. We train yoga instructors on how to ensure their classes are accessible to people with vision loss. We specifically encourage and promote classes that are taught by yoga instructors who themselves are blind or have low vision.

*Group trainings, contact us for more details
We offer team building workshops and interactive educational trainings for organizations, educators, schools, businesses, caretakers and family members. Participants will learn the proper techniques of how to be a human guide, along with some basic principles of accessibility and best practices for engaging and communicating with people with vision loss. Our goal is for people to walk away with more curiosity and awareness about people with vision loss and disabilities in general, excitement about creating accessibility in their communities, and opportunities to contribute to our mission.
