The NeuroFit Gym

I have a very amazing story to share…
I’m not going to name the people who had the emergency as that’s not my story to share, but what I want to share is the amazing community the Neurofit Gym has created!

We have a member R who has PD and has had some recent health issues limiting him physically and his wife is his only caregiver. Their children live in another state as a lot of children do. So this morning B had a slight health scare in that she had to go quickly to the ER. Well with recent health issues her husband can’t really be left alone. So B called upon “the wives” of other members of our gym who have PD. By the time I was able to call Pam (one of their wives) back after church she had already formed a plan to help R be safe and cared for. With the help of Pam, Bobbi, Marie, ( all 3 wives of men who have PD) and Colleen using her resources now R will have help and companionship until either their daughter gets in town or B is released from the hospital. BJ ( another wife) is going to be with B in the hospital so she in not alone. In just minutes four wives stepped up to help! These women have their own spouses to care for but didn’t bat an eye to help out another.

Neurological disorders are hard but caregiving for loved ones who suffer Neuro disorders is very hard too. These women (and many others) have become friends and support systems for one another. I give credit to the awesome Thursday night support group for this bond. My little heart is so proud and touched that these women met at the Neurofit Gym. I cannot thank them enough for stepping up and helping one another out.
This is why we created the Neurofit Gym! We may be a small entity but we are strong!

Thank you ladies!

This is just one of the many touching stories about the community created at the NFG.

( don’t worry B is ok and just waiting orders)

We are looking for a PT or an OT to teach a couple boxing classes. Primary need right now is filling in on Fridays. We have classes for general neuro at 11 and for PD at 12. Person Needs to be comfortable with transfers and modifying activities for those who may need to sit, those who are hemiplegic and those with increased spasticity. The class will require you to design the hour class appropriate for clientele but we can teach you all the boxing tricks! The classes are very fun and help so many people in the community with neuro disorders.
