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 it’s doors on December 27th 2021 as Philadelphia’s premier methodless studio.
The couple opened together with one goal - create community in movement among varying modalities. Together is a blank canvas without labels or regulations. While Kate teaches classes that combine strength and pilates she encourages her instructors to do the same, differently.
Together is for people who hate monotony, crave community and want to have ether cake and eat it too.
A fitness studio is not a platform for competition, but a conglomeration for change. Be the change, in proximity to others at together.
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.
