Why this matters in Surat
Surat works longer hours than most Indian cities. In diamond and textile families the working generation is out from early morning until late evening, six days a week, and that is normal rather than a bad patch. Nobody in that household has a free weekday to take a parent to a class across town.
The city has also grown outward fast. Families who moved into Vesu, Adajan or Piplod got better flats and newer roads, and very little that was built for people over sixty.
So the sessions come to the flat, at a time chosen from four slots, and need nobody else in the family to rearrange their day.
The city you came to for work, after the work stops
A great many of Surat's older residents are not from Surat. They came decades ago from towns across Saurashtra and beyond for a job in the mills or the trade, and they built a life around that workplace. The colleagues were the social circle. The factory or the market set the rhythm of the week.
When that ends, it does not end gradually. The siblings and cousins are still in the old town, several hours away, and the friendships were tied to a place you no longer go. What is left is a good flat in a busy city where you know very few people who are not family.
A batch that meets three times a week rebuilds some of what the workplace used to supply: the same faces, on the same days, expecting you.
Why families in Surat choose it
Fits a household that works six days
Four time slots between ten in the morning and half past six, so nobody has to take a day off for a parent to attend.
People to know outside the family
A fixed group of up to 20, meeting repeatedly, which is how acquaintances slowly become people you look forward to.
Guided in Gujarati or Hindi
The instruction is in the language the participant grew up working in, so nothing needs translating mid-movement.
Built for over 55 specifically
Led by physiotherapists who work with older bodies daily, with a seated version of anything that cannot be done standing.
How Vayofit actually runs
The schedule is fixed and the group is small, which is what turns it into a habit rather than a one-off class.

In their own words
Vayofit in Surat: common questions
Is Vayofit available in Surat?
Yes. Sessions are live and online, so anyone in Surat can join from home. Participants take part from Adajan, Vesu, Athwa, Piplod, Katargam and Rander.
Can the sessions be conducted in Gujarati?
Yes. Facilitators lead in Gujarati, Hindi and English. Mention the preferred language when you register.
Nobody at home is free during the day. Does someone need to help my parent join?
Usually not after the first session. Joining is a single link at a fixed time, and our team walks the participant through it once at the start so they can manage it on their own afterwards.
What if my parent misses sessions because of a family function?
Every session is recorded and the link is shared afterwards, so the content is never lost. The batch and slot stay the same, so returning takes no rearranging.
Is the program online or offline?
Vayofit is designed as an online healthy-ageing program so seniors across India can participate from home. Sessions are live and facilitator-led, with recordings available if you miss a class.
Is the program planned for one month?
The program is available to you throughout the entire year, so you can continue benefiting from it for as long as you wish.
I liked the program and I wish to continue. What is the procedure?
We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the program! To continue your participation, we will send you a link to renew your registration one week before it expires. You can easily complete the necessary payment and seamlessly continue with the program.
How many sessions will there be in a month?
We have thoughtfully planned 12 sessions per month, ensuring you have ample opportunities to engage and learn.
How many batches does the program operate in?
The program operates in two batches to accommodate different schedules: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, as well as Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. This flexibility allows you to choose the batch that suits you best.
What are the time slots for the program?
Keeping in mind the convenience of our elderly participants, we offer four time slots to choose from: a) 10 am – 11:30 am, b) 12 pm – 1:30 pm, c) 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm, and d) 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm.
How many elderly people are there per batch and time slot?
To ensure the best experience for all participants, we have limited each batch to a maximum of 20 people per time slot. This allows us to provide individual attention and personalized support.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes, we offer a refund within the first seven days from the start of the program. If, within this period, the program doesn't meet your expectations and you wish to discontinue, you will be eligible for a 100% refund. However, please note that no refunds are provided beyond this initial week.
Who will be leading the sessions?
We have a team of dedicated professionals, including physiotherapists, psychologists, and mindfulness instructors, who will be leading the sessions. Their expertise and experience will ensure a comprehensive and holistic program for you.
How long is each session?
Each session is designed to be 90 minutes long, allowing for a comfortable and enriching experience. We also provide a 5-minute break during the session for you to rejuvenate.
What if I miss a session?
Don't worry! We understand that life can sometimes interfere with schedules. All the sessions are recorded, and we will share the recording link with you after each session. This way, even if you miss a session, you can catch up at your convenience and still benefit from the content.
