Real Stories, Real Progress: Exercise changes lives

---

"RYP enables you to exercise in your home at a time which suits you. The exercises change every regularly so you are continuously challenged and boredom is kept at bay. Maria and Sally provide excellent support and information as well as talks by other PD professionals"

"Sally & Maria I just wanted to tell you about my weekend away. We went to Kielder forest and I did a15 mile walk. The maximum I had done in the past was 8km and I would be completely knackered for that day and severals day after. I was tired but not knackered as in past and I was ok the following day. I took it easy the next day but still did 12,000 steps and 30 zone mins. I couldn't have done this and enjoyed it without this Get Started programme".

"When I was diagnosed in late 2019 I was devastated, it was a slap in the face that promised only misery, leaving Denise’s and my retirement dreams shattered.
I started with RYP in February 2020, and I’m still chucking myself around for thirty minutes a day over 4 years later.
I’m stronger, fitter and best of all feel mentally positive, the future is now something to engage with not dread."

"Energising, motivating, effective. RYP has helped me become fitter mentally and physically in the fight against Parkinson’s."

“Much more than an exercise website, RYP manages to recognise each individual need while motivating, educating and challenging. I have reached goals and tried different forms of exercise which pre Parkinson’s I would never have attempted . Their presence on Insta and Facebook continually reinforce the message that knowledge is power.” 

"They are a big part of my life, part of my solid foundation. From their site, I have a fountain of experience, knowledge, support and advice to “drink “ from as and when I need it. I am part of something valuable, and feel part of a team myself."
