Additional Information on the Waukesha Program

Classes meet year round on Mondays/Thursdays from 1:00 to 2:00 PM or 1:30 to 2:30 PM at the YMCA of Central Waukesha County.  The program is offered through a coordinated effort with the Movement Disorders Program at Froedhert & The Medical College of Wisconsin and the YMCA of Central Waukesha County. 

Each class is guided by 3 - 4 staff instructors:  one P.T. and 2 -3 Fitness Instructors.  Each time the class meets participants spend 30 min. on the treadmill under supervision of staff and 30 min. performing floor based stretching and strengthening exercises.

Comments from a Waukesha class participant, Tom F.
"I've been attending the Waukesha ex. class for 2 1/2 years.   I was diagnosed with Parkinson Disease eight years ago. I like coming to exercise with a group of people who have similar challenges that I have.  I greatly appreciate the support of the staff.  The class has slowed down the progression of my Parkinson Disease thru exercise. It has helped my walking quite a bit."
