A regular exercise routine can help you maintain your abilities, strengthen your muscles, increase mobility in your joints and build up your general fitness and health.
Making exercise part of your regular routine provides a sense of achievement and can reduce feelings of stress, anxiety and depression.
You will be given an initial assessment with the physiotherapist. They offer supportive machines to assist with movement, other ordinary gym machines and some group exercises. Staff are there to help. The gym is designed for people with more limited movement.

Every Friday From 12.30pm - 3:00pm

Due to the COVID rules, we will now have to separate our session on Friday afternoon into three pre-booked times:
1. 12.30pm to 13.30pm reserved for those with impaired mobility, i.e. those needing help to get on and off the machines and needing more time to move around. Anyone in this category must have a relative, friend, partner who will accompany them and stay
with them in case help is needed - limited to four people with Parkinson's and four partners.
2. 13.30pm to 14.15pm for those not requiring assistance - maximum of eight persons.
3. 14.15pm to 15.00pm for those not requiring assistance - maximum of eight persons.

It is required that all who attend do so wearing a mask whilst in the gym. You will also be required to wear disposable gloves whilst using the machines. These will be supplied and all will be required to use the one way system in place, so that you will then be observing the social
distance regulations and not compromising others using the facility at the same time.

We have Jenny Cox who is now overseeing the gym for Parkinson’s and you will have to book your time slot with Jenny by the Wednesday of each week as Jenny has to let the gym know who will be attending for that week and at what time. This is a requirement of the COVID regulations. Email Jenny on coxjen1@aol.com or text her on 07745 475625.
