What is BoneFitTM?
BoneFitTM is an evidence-informed exercise training workshop, designed for healthcare professionals and exercise specialists to provide training on the most appropriate, safe and effective methods to prescribe and progress exercise for people with osteoporosis.
BoneFitTM includes two different levels of workshops – BoneFitTM Basics and BoneFitTM Clinical. BoneFitTM Basics workshops are aimed at exercise and fitness professionals. BoneFitTM Clinical workshops are aimed at rehabilitation professionals.
BoneFitTM was created and launched by Osteoporosis Canada in 2010. BHOF is working with Osteoporosis Canada and the founders of BoneFitTM to bring this training program to the United States.

Who’s Eligible?
Exercise and fitness professionals that work with uncomplicated osteoporosis clients are eligible to participate in the Basics workshops. Rehabilitation professionals working in a clinical environment with simple or complex osteoporosis patients are eligible to participate in the Clinical workshops. Students are also welcome to participate.
What Do Workshops Entail?
Each workshop includes two components – online learning modules that need to be completed in advance and a LIVE group training conducted in-person or virtually. After completing the online modules and the LIVE training, attendees must pass an online quiz to be officially BoneFitTM Trained.
