Rock Steady Boxing

“A lot of people think the class is all about hitting a punching bag, but it's far from that. It's more about the friendships you make. Everyone's in the same boat so it's nice to know you are not alone. Since joining Rock Steady Boxing, we have made so many friends. It's like a second family to us. We are very grateful for the classes provided by the PGO."

Music Therapy

"We both love music and it’s good for your brain and hand coordination. I noticed that since he joined the drumming class his balance seems to be better. I recommend for any caregiver thinking about joining the class to try it; you’ll really like! The class is happy and easy going. It’s a great stress reliever.”

Yoga

“The yoga class has been an inspiration. Even though we don’t do it every day, it motivates us to keep moving. It’s helped him and even the doctor has noticed that he’s able to get up from the chair quicker. As a care partner for him, the class has helped me too because it keeps me moving and I’m able to help him a lot easier.”

Speech Therapy

"I didn't notice a change in my voice until my family said something. They were always asking me to speak up or repeat myself. The speech class has helped me speak louder and with intent. I feel like I'm not fumbling through my words as much. If you have Parkinson's, you need to check out this program."
