\n Believe Health, Fitness & Wellbeing, based at St John’s United Reform Church on Wilderspool Causeway, has been running weekly sessions since May 2024, and their popularity has steadily increased.\n<\/p>\n
\n To mark their first year, the group recently held two celebratory events.\n<\/p>\n
\n Each event featured 30-minute workouts, followed by social gatherings with cake and coffee.\n<\/p>\n
\n The neuro fitness initiative is expanding across the North West, encouraging more communities in Warrington and surrounding areas to maintain active lifestyles.\n<\/p>\n
\n It supports people with neurological conditions, including Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis (MS), and stroke.\n<\/p>\n
\n Being active is one of the best ways for people to live well with long-term health conditions.\n<\/p>\n

\n John, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s just over five years ago, regularly participates in the weekly Warrington neuro fitness classes.\n<\/p>\n
\n Speaking about the group and being part of the anniversary celebrations, John said: “In the last 12 months, people have noticed my walking and posture have improved, my flexibility and core strength have vastly improved.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I used to get dyskinesia in my shoulder which was a gut-aching pain, that\u2019s gone, which is a blessing.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I really enjoy coming to these sessions, Zoe is a great teacher, and the workouts are always really fun and relaxed.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I also find it gets me out of the house and means I can meet other people who are experiencing the same thing as me.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I would definitely recommend the classes to anyone living locally who has Parkinson\u2019s, it\u2019s not just about being active as a group, it is also my chance to meet new people and enjoy the social benefits of being active with others.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Zoe Brown, an exercise specialist and neuro physio at Believe Health, Fitness & Wellbeing, spoke about the growth of the Parkinson\u2019s classes.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said: “I am so proud of the dedication and progress of all our participants.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The hard work they put into each and every class is reflected in the progress they continue to make, not only in the classes, but also in their day-to-day lives.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Everyone has become so close since we started the classes, with members meeting up for social events and even going for Christmas lunch together.”\n<\/p>\n
