Online Exercise Programmes and Work Outs
Get Started Programme: start exercising at home
If you are newly diagnosed or lacking confidence in starting your Parkinson's-specific exercise, our award-winning Get Started Programme could be right for you.
Get Started is an online guided workout and educational programme built by Parkinson's Specialists and Physiotherapists, for people with Parkinson's.
The exercises feature both seated and standing variations, making it an accessible choice for all abilities - but it's not without a bit of challenge! The programme gradually builds in intensity and duration over 12 weeks until you can exercise at the optimum dose to treat your Parkinson's.
The workouts are accompanied by a series of weekly educational video tutorials that teach you the theory behind the exercise.
By the end of the 12 weeks, you will be more physically active, have better symptom control, and know how to exercise for your Parkinson's.
You will access the programme and coaching through Everfit which can be used via any iOS or Android device. You'll also have access to professional advice and a community of Reach Your Peak members who have been where you are now.
Cost: £120 for 12 weeks - that's £10 per week!
Exercise is Medicine: our premium monthly subscription
If you're feeling more confident about exercising for your Parkinson's - or if you've completed Get Started already - Exercise is Medicine is the one for you.
This advanced programme is designed to help you maintain and build upon your progress with structured, Parkinson-specific workouts, access to our thriving exercise community, and professional support every step of the way.
What's included?
You'll receive daily scheduled workouts that provide the correct dose of exercise to help manage your symptoms and enhance your overall wellbeing.
A cornerstone of our Exercise is Medicine programme is repetition, which is essential in Parkinson's exercise to
drive neuroplasticity - the brain's ability to form new connections and maintain function. However, repetition alone isn't enough.
That's why every two weeks, we completely change the workout, introducing new sequences and challenges to keep the brain actively learning and adapting.
This constant stimulation not only helps slow motor progression but also engages cognitive pathways, making our programme both physically and mentally effective.
In addition to your scheduled routines, you'll also have access to our ever-growing collection of supplementary workouts. Whether you want to target specific areas or add variety to your routine, our workout library has something for everyone.
Cost: £40/month
