What is Pump it for Parkinson’s

The National Institute for Fitness and Sport in partnership with NuStep and the Parkinson's Foundation is raising awareness in senior living on the benefits of exercise for individuals living with Parkinson’s.

10 million people are living with Parkinson's Disease worldwide.

500+ communities, 10,000+ participants

55,647,450 steps achieved!

Six years ago, NIFS embarked on developing a comprehensive fitness program to meet the unique needs of residents with Parkinson’s Disease for the senior living community clients we serve. We capitalized on our industry experience providing best-in-class programming, our passionate staff of fitness professionals, and immersed ourselves in research and evidence-based practices in the field of exercise and Parkinson’s. From this, Bold Moves was born, fitness and programming specifically designed for residents with Parkinson’s.
