Team Survivor is a national organization with local affiliates across the country. The first Team Survivor program was founded in 1995 in conjunction with the Danskin Women's Triathlon Series in Seattle, Washington. Since then, thousands of women throughout the country have trained with Team Survivor for various events.
Team Survivor Tri-State was founded in August 2005 by Ronni Arno Blaisdell, a certified cancer exercise specialist and a 4-time Danskin triathlete. Ronni is the Team Leader and Program Director, and is joined by wonderful and talented coaches, trainers, and fitness/health experts.
Team Survivor Tri-State currently offers programs throughout New Jersey and Bucks County, PA that include the following weekly classes: spinning, walking groups, running groups, yoga, strength training, kickboxing, and swimming.
Team Survivor also offers the following clinics and seminars:
Triathlon training, snowshoeing, rock-climbing, self-defense, meditation, hiking, kayaking, nutrition education, and cooking classes.
Team Survivor welcomes women of all ages, fitness levels, and in all stages of treatment and recovery. Team Survivor is for anyone who would like to reach their fitness goals in a supportive, friendly environment. We have members who have never before embarked on a fitness program, as well as members who are accomplished athletes. We welcome them all.
