We are pleased to offer many in-person programs to improve your fitness and function, as well as your overall quality of life, including:
Several programs of the JCC Parkinson’s Connection program are supported by a community grant from the Parkinson’s Foundation.
Many of our Parkinson’s programs are offered for free or reduced costs to the participants. Donations from families, friends and others help to greatly offset expenses to this program.

“I’m really hooked on boxing and movement being used to combat Parkinson’s. This type of exercise should be strongly recommended by MD’s to their Neuro patients.
My wife has noticed a positive change in attitude since starting the program. I’ve noticed that I’m taking on the dreaded motor symptom problems (pain, shaking, muscle locking, poor walking to name a few) with hard work and humor.
Thanks for making exercise for Parkinson’s patients very tough and challenging. We need it. But most of all, thanks for making it FUN.”

No, unfortunately the two systems do not speak to one another. We are happy to keep your credited funds in your account or refund your MINDBODY balance. Unfortunately, the virtual program is managed in a different system that does not communicate to the MINDBODY system. Once we resume RSB classes in the facility, the balance of your account can be used to take classes.
You will be contacted by Amanda Gelovich. She will ask if you want to
register for the program. You will provide her your credit card information.
Your credit card will be charged monthly.
Yes, that is currently the plan. We plan to have both on site and virtual programming moving forward.
At this time, there are 12 live classes and we are building a library of classes for access at your own convenience. We hope to have it up and running within a month with a nice selection of boxing, dance, drums, meditation, introduction videos and tutorials.
Yes, you can take three free classes a week. Speech Therapy group class on Monday, Movement and Motivation on Tuesday and Thursday.
