components:*
• Cardio
• Strength Training

The PBM program was designed in collaboration with medical professionals based on scientific research to provide exercise in a safe, supportive local community with instructors who have been trained to work with people with PD. The goal is to improve the symptoms and fight the progression of Parkinson’s Disease. Participants will have regular assessments administered by physical therapists. Results will be used for class placement, motivation and research.
