ABSolutely Fit owners
Honored in the
1 in 9 Breast Cancer Hall of Fame


Wendy Schonfeld D.C. and Susan Sachs owners of ABSolutely Fit were inducted in the Hewlett House Hall of Fame on Thursday October 18th

The owners of this local fitness studio have raised more than $100,000 for the fight against breast cancer in the past 7 years that they have owned ABSolutely Fit

Together with their amazing members and staff they raise money through fundraisers, Exercise-a-thons and their annual softball game.

Wendy and Susan began working with the Hewlett house because it is so important to know exactly were our donations are going and that we are making a difference on Long Island where the rate has gone from 1 in 9 to 1 in 5 women being affected. 

The incredible group of women that run this local house with President Geri Barish are true angels that are here for a purpose of helping others. Each of them is special in their own way

“There isn’t a day that someone isn’t touched at the studio by breast cancer and that is why it is such an important cause for us” says Sachs

On Saturday October 20th the studio held their 6th annual exercise-a-thon, where members had the chance to challenge themselves for hours exercising for the cause.

The bake sale by Merrick Avenue students  Hannah Schonfeld, Maria Reyes,  Kacie Spielman and Limor Ben Tovim was a huge hit too

ABSolutely Fit is our vehicle for making a difference in the world.

“We are truly blessed to be a part of this amazing organization and the induction to the hall of fame was a true honor” says Schonfeld
