Parkinson Community Fitness (Cincinnati)

Established: September, 2019

Mission: To provide a place for Person’s with Parkinson Disease (PWP) to go for Parkinson symptom specific exercise, support services and social activities. 

Our Purpose: A one-stop-shop that provides services which allow the PWP to bring back the social interaction sometimes lost in the PD journey. Once diagnosed with PD, a PWP may experience anxiety, depression and/or judgement from society. PCF provides that sanctuary that respects the integrity of the individual and their family. PCF also provides referrals to services in the community that can assist families in getting additional care if needed.

PCF provides:

• A referral source for local Movement Disorder Specialists, Neurologist and other medical providers
•  PD symptom specific exercise classes from the Move it or Lose if for Parkinson Disease Program
• Classes for PWPs of ALL fitness levels from Foundations, Advanced to Elite levels
• Certified instructors and trainers trained to work with PWPs
• Creative classes like Tai Chi, Chair Yoga, Cardio Drumming, Pickleball, Hands On, HealthRHYTHMS® ,  and Voice classes 
• Social activities like Coffee Talk Member meetings, Wine Tastings and Concerts
• Presentations from local physicians, nurses, social workers and sponsors
