Parkinson's Exercise Class

An hour long Parkinson-specific exercise class that does “function exercise" to keep you moving and doing more of what you want to do.

As you practise, you will be challenged physically and cognitively while working on fitness goals of strength, balance, agility, aerobics, and flexibility.

Exercises are designed to manage your PD symptoms, improve your fitness,  and increase your daily activity.

This whole body, function-focused exercise class will push you to do more than you think you can in a fun, social and empowering environment!

Sessions are adapted to participants’ abilities. Many of the exercises are based on the PWR!Moves (Parkinson’s Wellness Recovery) system devised by Dr Becky Farley (https://www.pwr4life.org/)

Loose comfortable clothing is required; trainers, dance shoes or bare foot. Any other equipment will be provided at the venue.

Classes are taught by Lidia Lonergan, a PWR! Moves certified instructor who is also a fully qualified exercise to music instructor with over 30 years experience of teaching FLexercise classes (https://www.fl-exercise.com/); Lidia is CIMPSA registered.  There are two classes on a Wednesday.  The Kew morning class is at St Luke's Church Community Centre at 11:15-12:15 (https://www.kewcommunitytrust.org.uk/) and the Kew Afternoon Class is at Raleigh Road Methodist Church (https://raleighroadunitedchurch.uk/) at 14:00-15:00.
