NeuroFit Gym

Meet Mary! Mary is living with Parkinson's Disease. She attends classes at the gym and enjoyed utilizing a standing aid that was on loan to us. She loved boxing in a standing position rather than seated in her wheelchair, and her jab-cross was much more powerful! Without this aid, she is unable to stand independently. We have several other gym members who also benefitted from the standing aid during their therapy sessions. This piece of equipment allows an individual normally unable to stand independently the opportunity to achieve an upright position, weight bearing on their legs. Unfortunately, we had to return the standing aid to the company. Booo! NeuroFit Gym is raising money to purchase a standing aid, as well as an automatic door opener for our members. Through exercise, education, community, and connection, NeuroFit’s mission is to provide a gym-like environment in a safe, welcoming space in which individuals with neurological issues can participate in exercise classes specific to their diagnosis, attend private or group workout sessions, and receive individualized attention to teach them how to adapt to their new life, reclaim their independence, and improve their quality of life. NeuroFit is a 501(c)3 organization operated by licensed physical therapists Amy Bertram and Colleen Schuster.
