MS FitEffect

MS FitEffect is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people who live with Multiple Sclerosis by working with and teaching them how fitness and proper exercise can change their lives. 

MS FitEffect was created by Mark and Jackie Mueller, of Mueller Personal Training, as a free 10-week program that was offered once a year for twenty individuals who live with MS.  The program was born out of the Mueller’s own experience with the disease as Jackie was diagnosed in 1998.  The Muellers turned to exercise and nutrition in an effort to manage the debilitating symptoms of the disease naturally.  The results were so amazing that they knew they needed to share this with others.

Word spread fast through the MS community about the program and the results it was achieving.  The Muellers knew that they would need help to be able to meet the needs of all who were coming to them.

In 2020, they decided to incorporate the program and they became a 501(C))(3) non-profit organization knowing that this would enable them to reach more people in more ways.

MS FitEffect is expanding its programming in an effort to reach and teach more people with MS how to manage their symptoms through exercise and fitness.

We continue to offer our free 10-week program which is in its eighth year.  This program is for everyone with MS.  Whether our participants use a wheelchair, walker, cane or are mobile  without assistance, they will benefit from our program as it is designed specifically for each participant by one of our MS Fitness and Wellness Specialists.  Each 10-week event hosts 20 participants and we provide each participant with a certified trainer who is an MS Fitness and Wellness Specialist, 10 weeks of individualized training sessions with one of our fitness professionals, 10 weeks of gym membership at our host facility and a community of ongoing support all at absolutely no cost to them.

MS FitEffect continues to reach out to the MS community year-round with our "Grace Fund" which has been developed to give people who are financially unable, the opportunity to work with our MS trainers on a one-to-one basis at no cost to them.

MS FitEffect is working with other gyms and facilities in an effort to provide more people with MS, the opportunity to participate in one of our free programs. 

MS FitEffect has begun work on an exercise video library that will be available to anyone with MS.

MS FitEffect also offers the Grace Fund which allows people with MS who have financial hardship, the ability to work with our trainers at absolutely no cost to them.

MS FitEffect offers

Moving Forward with MS; The Next Steps Series, which is a seminar series designed to address issues facing people with MS with practical applications and solutions.  The MS community is invited to attend these seminars free of charge.

In an effort to help as many people with MS as possible, we are continuing to develop more resources and educational material that we can offer to the MS community at little or no cost to them.
