If you’ve been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, know that there’s a lot you can do to help manage your symptoms. The Parkinson’s FIT Program at our gym in Doylestown is here to show you just that. We offer a 6-week fitness program that’s all about helping you gain strength and improve mobility. Research suggests that aerobic activities like walking, cycling, and swimming are beneficial, and if you’re at a stage where mobility is a bit tricky, the program can be adjusted for seated exercises too.
Our program isn’t just about exercise, it’s a community where you’ll find support and encouragement. So, let’s navigate this journey together!
The Parkinson’s FIT Program at Cornerstone includes both in-person and virtual training options. Before beginning, participants (and caregivers if desired) meet with one of our certified Parkinson’s Fitness Specialists. During this intake, our coaches take the time to learn about each person’s specific challenges. They then design a program that is safe and appropriate.
Parkinson’s FIT at Cornerstone includes:
RSB is based on the principle of “forced intense” exercise. The idea of “fighting back” in this non-contact, boxing workout, goes farther than the physical benefits anyone can gain from training like a boxer (improved agility, balance, strength, mobility, stamina). No boxing experience required.
PWR! Moves is a Parkinson’s specific exercise approach that directly targets four foundational movements to counteract the primary deficits shown by research to interfere with everyday mobility. The session structure can adapt to different needs of the participants and can progress. PWR!Moves is a Parkinson’s exercise revolution designed to improve movement at all levels.
This indoor cycling class is designed specifically for people with Parkinson’s Disease. Working in a group setting in a well designed cycling program has been shown to help in symptom management of the disease.
