Your on-demand personal trainer for peripheral neuropathy
Low-impact strength, cardio, Pilates and stretching, designed for people living with peripheral neuropathy and nerve pain, by a certified trainer who lives with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue herself.
Free to start: the No-Crash Fitness Guide, with a regular and a lower-energy 10-minute workout included.
Looking for peripheral neuropathy exercises? Here's how ours are built
Most people who find this page have been told to stay active and have found that most workouts weren't made with numb feet, unsteady balance or nerve pain in mind. What they want is a library where the seated option is a real workout, not a consolation, and where nothing asks them to push through pain.
Cocolime Fitness is that: an on-demand library and guided programs where every session is designed so you can choose how much to do today, in the position that feels steady, and come back tomorrow.
How the workouts are designed
Every session in the library follows the same rules, because Suzanne wrote them for her own body first:
- Low-to-zero impact, easy on joints and feet.
- Low-to-medium intensity, never a push to exhaustion.
- No exercise repeats within a workout, so no one joint or muscle takes the same demand over and over.
- Stretching woven in, with longer recovery breaks than a standard class.
- A modification for nearly every move, and permission to skip, pause or stop.
- Seated, standing and lying-down options, including all-seated sessions, so you can choose the position that feels steady for you.
- Sessions from 5 to 45 minutes, with shorter, lower-energy choices for harder days.
The one rule underneath all of it: listen to your body, and never push through pain or fatigue.
A member in her own words
"I just love the new walk and tone exercise and the sitting inner thigh area. I am an Operation Iraqi Freedom Veteran with lots of health problems to include nerve damage from the waste down, fibromyalgia, discs problems and PTSD. Your videos have opened a new door for me, exercises I can do, someone that understands, I look forward to the workout videos even when in severe pain, you keep me going. I used to run all the time in the Army and once I was injured my muscles in my thighs, butt and stomach went south. With your exercises I able to recover some of me that I lost. Thank you so much for being a light at the end of the tunnel. Your are the best!" — Heather G.

Questions people with peripheral neuropathy ask us
Is there a program made specifically for peripheral neuropathy?
No. There isn't a condition-specific program, and we don't give condition-specific exercise instruction. What there is: the 30 Day Jump Start for easing in, the CLF TV library with all-seated sessions and playlists sorted by energy level, and MITFIT 90 for a structured 90 days. All of them are built on the same low-impact, low-to-medium intensity method.
Is this physical therapy?
No. Cocolime Fitness is a movement and fitness library led by a certified personal trainer. It isn't physical therapy or medical treatment, and it doesn't replace either. If you're working with a physical therapist or clinician, they're the right person to ask about what's appropriate for you.
Can I do everything seated?
Yes. The library includes all-seated sessions, and most standing workouts show a seated or supported option, so you can choose the position that feels steady for you.
Do I need equipment?
Light hand weights, a chair and a mat. Household items work as substitutes, and floor work is never required unless you choose it.
Is there a free way to try it?
Yes. The No-Crash Fitness Guide is free and comes with two 10-minute workouts, a regular version and a lower-energy version. Get the guide.
