Parkinson’s Cycle: Pedaling at a certain rate per minute (RPM) has been shown to increase strength and improve symptoms of PD. Partially funded by the American Parkinson’s Disease Association (APDA), this is an evidence-based, small-group cycling program. Classes are ongoing, once per week for 45 minutes.

All participants must complete a health history and get a signed medical clearance from a healthcare provider. Assessments will be done every 16 weeks under the guidance of the instructor. Options to attend virtually or in person.

Parkinson’s HIIT Circuit Class: High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a style of exercise where short bursts of high intensity exercises are followed by short periods of low intensity recovery. In this 55-minute class, participants will perform strength training intervals using combinations of weights, bands, and body weight. Class will conclude with stretching and flexibility exercises. Studies have found that people with Parkinson’s who regularly participated in HIIT training had increased neuronal activity, experienced a decrease in Parkinson’s symptoms, and felt that their quality of life improved. This class is offered in person only.

Tuesday & Thursday: 1:00-2:00pm
