We understand Parkinson's.
If you want to receive exercise and physical therapy treatments that work, we have the research-supported goals, exercise, and activities for you. Our goal is to build your treatments around your needs as a person with Parkinson disease, so that you can live your best life.
“I can go to someone that understands what I’m talking about. And is able to help me sort out what I should do. “
“I sought out physical therapy from local therapists. And you’d be lucky if you found somebody who worked with someone with Parkinson’s years ago. At the, PWR!Gym I was immediately blown away by the people I saw that were being helped.”
-John Goulet, PWR!Gym member
Symptoms When do you start to work on reducing symptoms? You start now. Today.
Many wait as they ponder their diagnosis or maybe they haven't heard of the PWR!Gym before. If you want to keep your posture strong, reduce freezing in your movement, walk strong and fast, and reduce your tremors, we are ready (today!) to work on those symptoms with you.
We are the place for you if you are concerned about:
- Tremors
- Remembering what to do next (cognitive)
- How to continue to walk strongly
- Improving balance
- How to avoid falling
- Freezing
- Moving smaller
- Upright Posture
- What exercises to do, and when (Which exercise is best? How much? How often?)

We have LOTS of different classes at the PWR!Gym!
Here at The PWR!Gym, we have so many choices of classes that you can choose from – with different times, intensities, and types of classes. We help you choose the class that keeps you motivated to come and exercise!
Community Support through a group of individuals working on a common goal
There is nothing more solid or confidence-building than a community of people going through what you are —building the PWR!Gym has given us the space and the place to offer community with the goal of exercising to stay better.There is no judgment here. We are in this together.
Can Google help you make a plan?
We find that our clients come in the door with Google knowledge and are lost and unsure of how to put that knowledge to use. We have a team of Parkinson’s focused physical and exercise therapists that are researching and implementing the newest treatment and fitness approaches every day. Do you want to talk about what you've heard? What you don't understand? We want to talk it through with you and support you. We have one-on-one consultations, Ask the Experts, Wellness Series, and time in the Gym for group classes. Join Us. We’re ready to work with you!
