Alzheimer's/Parkinson's Program
“Slowing the effects, strengthening your life.”
As we age, life can bring us some unexpected health issues. We all know someone with cancer, diabetes or high blood pressure and when left unchecked they can all be life threatening. From a personal point of view, I would rather deal with one of those health issues, than deal with any on-set of dementia. Any form of dementia is terrible because it robs you of all the memories that you've created throughout your lifetime. Two of the most prevalent forms of dementia are, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
These are diseases that affect the nervous system and both don't have any medical cures for either of them. That being said, there's plenty of studies that show how exercising can offset many of the side effects of these diseases.
Exercise strengthens muscles, improves balance, and helps the brain use dopamine more effectively — a key factor since Parkinson’s is linked to dopamine deficiency. Stronger muscles also helps control tremors in Alzheimer's patients.
🌟 Why Strength Training Works
-
Preserves independence and mobility.
-
Strengthens both body and brain.
-
Reduces stress and enhances overall well-being.
-
Provides hope, confidence, and dignity in the journey of aging.
Another major focus in this program is helping people rebuild connections with their nervous systems. This type of training is known as Neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to adapt, rewire, and create new connections between brain cells (neurons). Even in Alzheimer’s, when some brain cells are damaged, the brain still has the potential to form new pathways. This is what allows people to keep learning, adapting, and maintaining daily functions. Activities that challenge memory, problem-solving, and coordination encourage the brain to “work out,” strengthening existing connections and forming new ones.
🌟 Why It Matters
With Alzheimer’s, neuroplasticity training doesn’t “cure” the disease — but it can slow down the affects, preserve independence longer, and improve quality of life. By keeping the brain engaged and flexible, patients often experience:
-
Better mood and less anxiety
-
Improved daily functioning
-
Slower memory loss
-
Greater confidence and participation in life
If you or a loved one are living with Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s, staying active isn’t just exercise — it’s one of the most powerful tools to protect independence, boost mood, and slow the effects of these conditions. This program is more than fitness; it’s about hope, strength, and quality of life. Enroll today and take a positive step toward a healthier, brighter tomorrow.”
Who's this program for:
If you or someone you know is suffering from anyone of these diseases, then obviously this program is for you. However, this program is also for someone who's in their 60's and up and who haven't yet seen any major symptoms but notices that their mind isn't as quick to react to certain situations. This may be a sign of things to come and this program will help strengthen the neural pathways in their brain so they can lessen the likelihood of suffering from those major symptoms.
THIS PROGRAM CAN BE DONE IN-PERSON OR ONLINE
