This past June, Christine Seaby started teaching fitness classes for people with Parkinson’s disease out of her garage. Recently, she has opened up a gym in Ottawa where anyone with the disease is welcome to work out in a way that suits their needs. Christine opened the gym so that those affected by Parkinson’s can engage in physical activity that lessens their symptoms while interacting with others who share the same issues as them.
