Happy One Year Fit Fighter Crew!
On November 20th, the Fit Fighter Crew celebrated their 1-year anniversary!
“When I was approached a year ago to build a program for people with Parkinson’s, I knew I had to do it,” shared Stephanie Vandewiele.
“Although there was some trial and error in the beginning, our group worked together to build a very well-rounded and sustainable program with attainable goals that everyone can achieve. And did they ever do an amazing job!
Since then, I have opened the class up to multiple limitations as I saw there was more than just Parkinson’s that people in our community have to fight with–this is why we welcome anyone suffering from not only Parkinson’s but also multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, neurological issues and even post-op people who need to get their mobility back.
This last year has been an amazing adventure for me with some of the most determined people I have ever met. It is hard enough going to the gym for able-bodied people, then these guys come in with extra issues besides being intimidated by the gym itself. I’m truly honoured to have been given this opportunity, and I have learned so much from my group over this last year! Definitely missing some of the old faces and welcoming the new faces with open arms!
Huge shout out to all of these rock stars in my Fit Fighter crew! Here’s to another year of learning, laughing, and lifting!”
