This study demonstrated feasibility of a synchronous group tele-exercise class for individuals with SCI. Key features facilitating participation include class length, frequency, coleadership by individuals familiar with SCI and exercise instruction, and group motivation. These findings begin to examine a viable tele-service strategy that could be employed as a bridge among rehabilitation specialists, community fitness instructors, and clients with SCI to increase physical activity access and behavior.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1 available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A442).
