Parkinson’s exercise and personal training in Anne Arundel County
One-on-one training for balance, walking, strength, and coordination, led by a trainer with years of physical therapy clinic experience working with Parkinson’s.
$25 first session · No long-term contracts · HSA / FSA accepted
Movement is part of the plan.
Regular exercise is one of the most recommended things people with Parkinson’s disease can do. The Parkinson’s Foundation recommends at least 2.5 hours of exercise a week, including strength, balance, aerobic work, and flexibility. The hard part is doing it safely and consistently when balance, stiffness, and fatigue get in the way.
That is where a private studio and an experienced trainer help. You get a program built for where you are this week, someone beside you for balance work, and a reason to keep showing up.
Training for daily life.
Balance and fall prevention
Supervised balance challenges, stepping drills, and obstacle walks so you feel steadier at home and out in the world.
Walking and gait
Longer, more confident steps, turning, and changing direction, the moments where many falls happen.
Posture
Strengthening the upper back and hips to counter the forward, rounded posture that Parkinson’s often brings.
Strength
Legs, hips, and core for standing up from chairs, climbing stairs, and getting up from the floor.
Boxing and coordination
When appropriate, Darius adds boxing and bag work to help with hand-eye coordination, speed, and big, deliberate movements.
Working with your care team
We can coordinate with your neurologist or physical therapist and adjust as your needs change.
Start with one session.
Your first visit is a one-hour, one-on-one session for $25. We talk through your diagnosis, medications, and how your symptoms change through the day, then test balance and strength safely. Many clients prefer to schedule when their medication is working best, and we plan around that.
From there, most clients train 2 or 3 times a week. Plans are listed on our rates page, and many clients use HSA or FSA dollars. Here is how that works. Family members are always welcome to come to the first session.
If you are also working on general strength and balance with age, see our senior fitness and fall prevention program. Coming out of therapy after a fall or surgery? Read about post-rehab training.

Training with Parkinson’s.
“I initially started training at Repke Fitness because I knew I wasn’t doing enough on my own. I naturally gravitate toward the things I enjoy, like heavy lifting, but I wasn’t doing enough cardio or working on my coordination. Since joining Repke, they’ve really challenged me to work on those areas and focus more on the mind-body connection, which I know is important for Parkinson’s.
Darius, with his background in Indian martial arts, has helped me work on my hand-eye coordination through boxing and other exercises. I was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s, and my goal is to get ahead of it as much as I can. I know how important it is to take care of myself now rather than wait until things get worse.
One thing I really appreciate is that they give me workouts to do at home. I’m pretty good about working out on my own, but I sometimes lack structure. Noah has been great about putting together workouts that keep me on track, even on the days I’m not training at the gym.
For me, training is about more than just exercise. It’s about staying strong, building confidence, and doing what I can to take care of myself for the future. Parkinson’s is part of my life, but I’m not going to let it define me. A big thank you to Noah, Darius, and the team at Repke Fitness for pushing me and helping me along the way.”

Common questions.
Is personal training safe with Parkinson’s?
For most people, yes, with the right program and supervision. We start with a careful assessment and talk with you about your doctor’s guidance before we progress.
Do you offer boxing for Parkinson’s?
When it is a good fit, our trainers add boxing and bag work inside your one-on-one session to work on coordination and big, deliberate movement. It is part of your individual program, not a group class.
Should I schedule around my medication?
Many clients train best when their medication is working well. Tell us your schedule and we will plan sessions around it.
Can a family member come along?
Yes. Spouses and adult children are welcome to watch. Many watch the first session, and some watch every session.
