About this deal
Note, proof will be required on induction. Please only apply, if eligible.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN YOUR MEMBERSHIP?
We know how important it is to be active, it’s great for your physical and mental wellbeing, and it’s especially important for people with Parkinson’s.
The more physically active people with Parkinson’s are, the easier it is to live well and manage the complexities of the condition.
Being active can be anything that you find enjoyable and gets you up and about, and we are sure that there’ll be something for you to try at one of the over 190 Everyone Active sites nationwide. That might be going for a swim, attending a Parkinson’s specific class, or building up your strength in one of our gyms, all supported by our friendly and trained staff.
If you are taking advantage of our complimentary membership offer, there’s a few things to think about first.
If you are fit and healthy, and your Parkinson’s symptoms are mild you should be able to take part in most of the activities on offer, but maybe start gently before easing into something more vigorous.
If you’ve had Parkinson’s for a long time, or your symptoms are more complex, definitely start slowly and at a comfortable pace.
And if you have any underlying health conditions (such as heart problems, diabetes or breathing issues) you should contact your GP before starting any new activity.
Being more active will help you to live well with Parkinson’s and as well as aiding cardiovascular fitness, balance, strength and coordination, many people say it helps them to sleep better, feel less anxious and to help them keep doing the things that they enjoy.
