Together is the brain child of husband and wife duo Kate and James Connelly.
about
a heavyweight in the philadelphia fitness scene started teaching online in march of 2020. Armed with 9 years of industry experience and a community of loyal followers, Kate took zoom by storm with her program bandtogether. A no bull sh*t approach to fitness that marries strength and stretch into one class.
a former professional athlete turned marketing executive by day, James helped manage Kate’s growing business. An artist who knows his way around a Home Depot, James pushed Kate, her community and bandtogether to be bigger. In September of 2021, 3 months before opening their first brick and mortar, James left his day job to work in proximity with Kate to create together.

together old city opened its doors on january 1st 2021, as philadelphia's premier sculpt studio - a studio focused on simplifying movement to amplify results .
the couple opened together with one goal - create community in movement. together's class model, spearheaded by kate, is simple.
classes are 45 minutes in length and create symmetry in the body through repetition. guests are lead through full body sequences on a single side of the body, then asked to repeat, without deviation, on the other side.
while class archetypes differ based on body positioning and exertion - all classes at together use symmetry, repetition and music to curate authentic unique workouts.
kate strives to connect joy and sweat in every class she teaches. kate is a master curator. her routines are thoughtful, effortless, effortFULL and completely intoxicating. kate challenges her instructors and her community to simplify movement to amplify results. after all, it’s only a workout - just a damn good one.
