Summer gym taster sessions to help more Hampshire residents get active
People living with Parkinson’s in Hayling Island and the surrounding areas of Hampshire are being encouraged to sign up for a free gym taster session which is set to launch in June.
The free session is taking place at Langstone Business Park on June 15 from 11am to midday. This is part of a new initiative to help more people living locally with Parkinson’s to live well with the condition and improve their wellbeing.
No previous experience of using gym equipment is required and all access to gym facilities is supervised by a qualified instructor. Partners, friends and family are also welcome to attend or relax with a refreshment in the onsite cafe.
Leigh Stroud, Area Development Manager at Parkinson’s UK, said: “We are very grateful for the support from Langstone Park to host this free gym taster session.
“We hope if it proves to be successful the session will continue weekly under the supervision of a qualified instructor. The cafe area offers a relaxing space where people enjoy refreshments whilst the gym session is taking place.”

Parkinson's is a complex brain condition that gets worse over time. It has more than 40 symptoms, from tremor and pain to anxiety, and there is no cure. Someone is diagnosed with Parkinson’s in the UK every 20 minutes and by 2050, the number of people living with the condition worldwide will double to 25 million.
