Fun Fridays with Friends!

About

WHY "Exercise with friends. Many people find that they’re more likely to stick with an exercise routine if it’s tied to a social engagement." -Michael J. Fox Foundation This means come have fun on Fridays with friends! PROGRAM DETAILS Fun Friday with Friends is a welcoming, lighthearted community session designed to get everyone moving, smiling, and connecting! Grounded in the Power Over Parkinson’s mission (that staying active is key to managing Parkinson's symptoms) this class brings community members, individuals with Parkinson's (PwPs), care partners, and volunteers together for a playful, adapted game of volleyball. Whether played standing or seated (chair volleyball), this low-impact, high-engagement session focuses on functional movement, spatial awareness, and non-stop laughter in a supportive, judgment-free environment. AVAILABLE TIMES Friday - 11:45AM REGISTRATION You can simply register for the individual classes that you would like to attend. All classes are free to people with PD. **Care Partners are required to stay and support their participant if participant is unable to get on/off equipment and maneuver through the gym independently** CARE PARTNERS Care Partners are welcome to come as care partners to their person with Parkinson's. This includes spotting, supporting, and assisting their loved one as needed (this type of supportive attendance is free of charge). Care Partners can also work out along side their participant. We do, however, prioritize people with PD to utilize the equipment first to ensure equipment and space is available for those with Parkinson's. If Care Partners do not wish to exercise within the HEAT exercise program, they will have full access to the Gold's Gym equipment.
