Why a Parkinson’s-Trained Personal Trainer Might Be the Best Investment You Make This Summer

Why a Parkinson’s-Trained Personal Trainer Might Be the Best Investment You Make This Summer


Let’s talk about something I know many of you wonder: “Do I really need a personal trainer? Can’t I just do the exercises on my own?”

Here’s my tough-love answer: Yes, you can — but will you do it safely, consistently, and in a way that actually pushes you toward your goals without setting you back? That’s the real question.

Personal trainers can provide invaluable guidance for a healthier summer, as seen with this dedicated workout session focused on balance and strength.
Personal trainers can provide invaluable guidance for a healthier summer, as seen with this dedicated workout session focused on balance and strength.

Having a trainer who understands Parkinson’s inside and out is one of the smartest moves you can make for your health. Here’s why:

They see your blind spots. When you work with a trainer who knows Parkinson’s, they don’t just count your reps — they focus on your weak points, help correct your form, and make sure you’re not compensating in ways that could cause injury down the road.

They help you prevent falls and injuries. Balance, strength, posture — these are all things that need specific, targeted work. Our trainers know exactly how to challenge you safely so you keep your independence for as long as possible.

They keep you accountable. Let’s be real: we all have days when we’d rather sit on the couch. But having someone show up at your house — or see you at the gym — means you will get it done. And that consistency is what keeps you moving forward.

They care about your quality of life, not just your workout. Our goal isn’t just to make you sweat — it’s to keep you living life on your terms for as long as possible.


And remember — our trainers don’t just work with you at the gym. They’ll come right to your house and build up your confidence, help you tackle exercises in your own environment, and make sure you stay on track with your program on the days you aren’t with us. Many of our clients have been taking advantage of hiring one of our personal trainers to work with on the days they dont come to class or to help rehab an injury to get back to class safely.

If you’re ready to level up your progress — and truly invest in your strength, balance, and independence — reach out and ask about our summer Personal Training packages. It might just be the best thing you do for yourself this year.


"Living with Parkinson’s, I always felt like I was fighting an uphill battle on my own. Coming here changed that. My trainer understands my challenges and makes sure every session works on my balance, strength, and mobility in a safe way. I’ve had fewer falls, my tremors feel more manageable, and I actually look forward to my workouts now. I can’t recommend this team enough!"


Robert D., 65


"Having a personal trainer come to my home has been a game changer for me. I used to struggle to get to the gym 3x week, and I’d lose my motivation. Now, my trainer shows up at my door, brings all the equipment I need, and keeps me moving safely. I go to 2 classes a week and my trainer comes to me once a week. I feel so much stronger, steadier on my feet, and I know I’m doing the right exercises for my body. I never thought I’d look forward to workouts at my age, but I do now!"


Eleanor S., 78


Cheers and stay cool!

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago. For over two years, I relied on prescription medications and therapies, but unfortunately, the symptoms continued to worsen. My mobility declined, tremors increased, and I experienced growing fatigue and discomfort that affected my daily life. Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My energy improved, the discomfort eased, and I felt stronger and more capable in my daily life. Incredibly, I also regained much of my stamina, balance, and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more…

Elizabeth Eliza, I really appreciate you sharing your story. My husband has Parkinson’s as well, and we went through the same struggles with medications not helping enough. We also turned to NaturePath Herbal Clinic, and their treatment has made such a difference for him. His energy is back, his balance has improved, and I can see his confidence returning. It’s been such a relief for both of us.
