The Parkinson's Training Center is a fully equipped gym providing Parkinson's Exercise and Wellness Classes, Personal Training and Rock Steady Boxing in Overland Park KS.

Here at the Parkinson's Training Center we offer ALL the best researched forms of exercise for the Parkinson's in small group classes or private sessions.
