The Parkinson's FIT Program
at Cornerstone
Maintain balance, mobility, strength, endurance and the ability to perform daily routines.
A diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease can be frightening. But as with most health challenges, the right kind of exercise program can help alleviate some of them. In some cases, it can even reverse symptoms. Cornerstone Clubs' Parkinson's Fitness Program takes place in 6 week sessions.
Parkinson's FIT Workouts
ROCK STEADY BOXING
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
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.
CYCLING
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.
Cornerstone's Parkinson's Fitness Program Is Safe
The Parkinson's 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:
- Three classes/week over a 6 week session (sessions may be scheduled consecutively)
- The option to add two additional days of cycling
- Initial consultation with a Parkinson's Fitness Specialist
- Membership in the Parkinson's Fit Care - Partners Support Group which meets virtually once per month
- $155/six-week session includes all of the above plus 10% discount on all spa services and personal training
(one-on-one and group personal training available with one of our specialists)
