Neuroscience Wellness Center Classes and Programs

Exercise, education and support under one roof

The Neuroscience Wellness Center is so much more than a gym. Not only do you have access to an open gym with adaptive exercise equipment, but you can also meet your wellness goals through customized fitness programs, gain knowledge about your condition through educational classes, and find a community of supportive specialists and people who share similar experiences.

Achieve your best health 

We believe that living well with a neurologic condition means fueling your mind, body and spirit. Our tailored programs and teams of specially trained instructors will help you reach all of your wellness goals.

Wellness programs

Our neuroscience wellness programs combine weekly exercise and education to keep your mind and body active, and help you live a full life.

Our structured programs offer many physical, cognitive and social benefits, with a dedicated curriculum tailored to your condition and function level. Participants in these programs have reported improvements not only in their ability to manage symptoms, but also in their sense of motivation, energy and self-esteem.

Parkinson's Disease Wellness

This 12-week program is designed to help people manage Parkinson’s disease symptoms by improving strength, flexibility and balance. Participants will connect with others who share their condition and be empowered to make healthy choices that influence their overall well-being — ultimately helping them transition to an independent fitness regimen.

The program includes:

  • Biweekly, 60-minute exercise sessions
  • Parkinson’s disease education and resources
  • Assessments before and after the program to measure functional improvement and quality of life improvement
Multiple Sclerosis Wellness

This 12-week program is designed to help people manage symptoms of multiple sclerosis by improving strength, balance and endurance. Participants will be empowered to make healthy choices that influence their overall well-being — ultimately helping them transition to an independent fitness regimen.

The program includes:

  • Biweekly, 60-minute exercise sessions that include cardiovascular fitness, total-body strengthening and balance training
  • Multiple sclerosis education and resources
  • Assessments before and after the program to assess and measure functional and quality of life improvement
Stroke and Acquired Brain Injury Wellness

This eight-week wellness program is designed for people who have had a stroke or acquired brain injury. Participants will establish an exercise program that focuses on balance, walking and endurance training.

The program includes:

  • 60-minute exercise sessions three times per week
  • Stroke and brain injury education and resources
  • Assessments before and after the program to assess and measure functional improvement
Spinal Cord Injury Wellness

This 12-week program was designed for people living with paralysis. Participants will improve their physical strength, balance, flexibility and endurance.

The program includes:

  • Biweekly, 60-minute exercise sessions that include cardiovascular fitness, total-body strengthening and balance training
  • SCI Education and resources
  • Assessments before and after the program to assess and measure functional improvement

Members-only group fitness classes

We believe that exercising together with a group of people facing similar challenges and working toward similar goals is more powerful than doing it alone. We encourage our members to participate in our group fitness classes designed to meet your personal interests, neurologic condition and physical abilities. Our classes vary in difficulty and intensity level, including chair-based, basic and advanced options.

Diagnosis-specific classes

These fitness classes are designed to meet the unique physical and cognitive challenges of your neurologic condition. They are the next step for members who have completed one of our neurologic wellness programs for MS, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, acquired brain injury or spinal cord injury.

Care partner classes

Care partners can enroll in membership here at our center and are encouraged to attend all group fitness, mind and body classes — either with your partner or while your partner is participating. Care partners may also exercise independently using the open gym.

Balance classes

Our balance classes range from basic to advanced. In class, you will work on balance fundamentals all the way up to dynamic balance challenges. If you're looking for a progressive balance program, we offer a seven-week program that includes home exercises and education.

Aquatics classes

Our center partners with the McConnell Heart Health Center to provide our Neuro Splash program. This program can be taken once or twice a week for eight weeks. The pool offers a lift chair for assistance. Participants who need additional pool support can bring a personal assistant.

Virtual classes

We offer a variety of live virtual classes throughout the week, ranging from chair-based to-high intensity. Additionally, we have a full library of recorded content for our members.

Community education and support

We will offer education and support classes to our neuroscience, cognitive and older adult communities. Some topics include stress management, community resources, energy conservation, nutrition and care partners support.

On Demand group classes

Our on demand group classes are a way for our members to access our recorded content.
