More About UsREVIEWS
“I have been going to BeFIT for several years now. I have worked with Robin, Amanda and Nicole. Each has their own style, which adds to the versatility I’ve experienced there. The classes are great, both the larger groups as well as the doubles class I take with Amanda. The atmosphere there is so welcoming. It’s actually the only time in my life I haven’t had to talk myself into going to an exercise class.
Robin has been able to work with me on pain relief, with both ongoing issues, as well as post abdominal surgery pain. The staff there get to know you, and help you modify moves, for “your body”. Of the things I miss most during these times of isolation is BeFIT. I’m so glad Zoom classes are being offered by Robin and Amanda. It helps to make us feel we are back in a regular routine. The classes are challenging, and we get an excellent workout from them both. “
-Susan P.
“Working out at BeFit has changed my life and my body. Scoliosis was creating real problems for me, but now I’m stronger, have less pain, and find myself standing straight up! The Zoom classes are keeping me sane and moving during the COVID-19 shutdown, but when it’s safe to go out again the first place I want to go is BeFIT. I am so grateful to Robin, Amanda and Nicole.”
-Jeanne M.
“The online zoom movement and mobility class has been a great outlet for me to keep moving and stay strong while quarantining. It is great to know that I can have access to the Berkshire Fitness Company even when I am out of state. Robin’s classes are clear, easy to follow and she creates a really warm and fun learning environment that sometimes makes me forget I’m not in the room with everyone. I have had a chance to meet people from all over the eastern seaboard and look forward to my classes each week. I highly recommend!”

“The work I’ve done with Robin has transformed how I feel about myself, and the positive attitude and energy at BeFIT are simply amazing! Keeping active over the age of 50 can be a challenge and Robin figures out just what i need to stay strong, fit, and pain-free, so that I can keep on doing the things I enjoy most and take on new challenges.”
-Julie C.
“Initially weary of the direct-pay model, BeFIT’s value is quickly apparent. Seen within a day, PT Nicole kept MY GOAL (knee injury/leg rehab) at the forefront and narrowed-in on a plan of action immediately. She tailored my program to my progress and I was back to my workouts in 15 days! Easily would have spent more $$ (co-pays alone) and time-off had I taken the traditional insurance-based route.”
-Jen R.
"We help people struggling with the ‘yo-yo’ effect of physical pain and being fit."
Are you...
- Waiting for aches, pains, and stiffness to just ‘go away’ - and wondering if they every will?
- Tired of endless internet searches for relief from back, knee, shoulder, hip, or neck pain and wondering where you fit in?
- Trying to modify off-the-shelf exercises, but never finding the right combinations?
- Going back and forth between good days when your body feels right and bad days that frustrate the heck out of you - not knowing what worked and what didn’t?
Are you tired of wondering why your back and
knees don't work like they used to?

Why are doctors still giving cortisone injections?
Knee pain can stop you in your tracks. It also continues to be surprisingly mishandled by many healthcare practitioners. People with knee pain would do anything to be rid of it...

Will an MRI Make Back Pain Better or Worse?
It depends. In fact only 5% of people with back pain need an MRI or CT to investigate a serious problem. Flip that, and we know 95% of people with back pain don’t benefit from images. So what’s the harm in checking?

Robin's Bio
Robin Dufour empowers people of all ages to overcome their struggles with recurring pain, fitness, and injury.
She approaches each situation with enthusiasm, persistence, and a keen sense of humor, crafting individualized and science-based programs for each person or group of people.
Her goal is to help individuals, families, and teams become experts in their physical wellbeing so they can enjoy a healthy balance in occupation, life, and play.
She loves being able to laugh and celebrate with clients as they overcome difficult situations and move beyond old limitations.
Special Interests:
Robin is often sought out to assist with challenging pain issues when other treatments have been unsuccessful. She is particularly skilled with seemingly complicated cases of recurring pain, discomfort, and aversion to regular exercise. She also specializes in resolving the causes of workplace injury.
Her experience as a parent, business owner, practitioner, and enthusiastic student of life offers a refreshing alternative to traditional physical therapy and fitness.
Robin loves spending time with her two daughters, her partner Nicole, and a handful of long-time friends - whom she credits for fine-tuning her sense of humor and humility.
She'll never pass up a walk on the beach, a great book, or a nice glass of wine in her spare time.
Experience & Training:
Following graduation from the University of New England in 1995, Robin became a licensed Physical Therapist. She opted for a series of challenging jobs in physical rehabilitation with neurologic injury, pediatrics, geriatrics, and sports medicine. She credits this diversity in finding common threads and practical solutions for a broad range of clients.
In 2010, she earned the distinction of Fellow of Applied Functional Science with the prestigious Gray Institute. She went on to become a five-year member of the faculty - teaching movement and health practitioners from around the world.
Robin has a particular interest in Veteran and Family care. In 2018-2019 she was hired as a special consultant for Home Base Veteran and Family Care. Home Base is a Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Program dedicated to healing the invisible wounds for Veterans of all eras, Service Members, Military Families, and Families of the Fallen through world-class clinical care, wellness, education, and research.
At Home Base, Robin analyzed the existing program and recommended new ways to better serve more Veterans and Families in their Warrier Health and Fitness program in Boston and South West Florida.
Robin is an institutional health consultant, assessing past and current spending on musculoskeletal injuries - the highest cost in healthcare. In partnership with Solve Global, she identifies areas of risk in the workplace and provides measurable solutions for reducing spending and improving outcomes and culture.
She enjoys public speaking to engage audiences in the nuances of movement, mindset, and behavior as an alternative to pills and procedures.
Following her curiosities has led her to pursue local and national teaching opportunities. You can watch a sample of talks given at the Gray Institute here.
She has spent the last 25 years studying the art and science of the human body. Specifically, how we are affected by internal and external forces like gravity, mass and momentum, pain, joy, trauma, injury, receptive motions.
You name it, and we can be affected by it.
In recent years her studies and practice have led her to leave the clinical setting in favor of a more relaxed and creative environment. Five years ago, she left her beloved Studio Be in Maine to open Be Fit Co. in Williamstown, MA. If you like a good "stars aligning" story, ask her what led her to take that leap.
