Meet Chris Holland
In 2020, Chris Holland was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease after noticing tremors in his hands. His doctor recommended exercising three to four times a week to help slow the progression of symptoms. Looking for a place to begin his fitness journey, Chris turned to the YMCA, where he started with general workouts and, in 2024, discovered the YMCA’s Pedaling for Parkinson’s class.
Since joining the Pedaling for Parkinson’s class, Chris has noticed a dramatic improvement in his ability to move and function day-to-day. “My mobility and strength have increased drastically,” he said, “I’ve stopped taking most of my medication because of coming to the YMCA.” Chris’s story is a powerful example of how the YMCA is more than just a gym!
Pedaling for Parkinson’s is offered at no cost thanks to our Annual Campaign.
