Brain & Body

Join the YMCA and University of Idaho for the NEW Brain and Body Fitness Program! This is a 3-month movement program is designed to support those diagnosed with early onset dementia or dementia-like symptoms. This program features exercises and linguistic activities that support physical and mental wellbeing. Classes are designed to challenge individuals to improve physical function, balance, coordination, and brain health. Exercises are geared specifically to counteract the movement challenges experienced by people with Parkinson’s Disease and other neurological disorders. In addition, cognitive tasks are incorporated to improve memory, alertness, and thinking.

*This is a group based class and, if at any point during the program, the participant requires additional or individual attention, they will be asked to bring a care person to support them.
