Move and Shout: supporting people with Parkinson’s through exercise classes 

Places Leisure, in partnership with Parkinson’s UK, are offering a specialised programme designed to support individuals living with Parkinson’s.  

Held at Elmbridge Xcel Leisure Centre in Walton, these weekly classes are more than just exercise, they’re a chance to connect, share, and support one another in a friendly and inclusive environment. 

What is Move and Shout? 

Move and Shout is a specialised class that helps participants improve mobility, strength, and balance through tailored physical activity. Led by trained instructors, the sessions are designed to meet the unique needs of those living with Parkinson’s while also encouraging participants to connect and encourage each other. 

Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with Parkinson’s for some time, these classes offer a safe space to move, laugh, and grow stronger together. 

Extra support through the Exercise Referral Programme 

At your first session, you’ll have the option to join the Exercise Referral Programme, which includes: 

• four personalised one-to-one sessions over 12 weeks
• a tailored training plan to support your physical goals
• mobility assessments at the start and end to track progress 

This programme is designed to help you feel more confident in your movement and better manage symptoms in everyday life. 

Welcoming carers and companions 

We know that carers play a vital role in the lives of those with Parkinson’s. That’s why carers are welcome to attend sessions free of charge in their caring capacity or join in as participants for just £4 per session. While sessions are underway, carers can relax in the café or seating areas within the centre.
