Total HealthWorks, Columbus OH

Stressful, challenging. I think it's making a difference. Begin anytime, just know that intensity increases over the weeks! Better something than nothing! The class I'm in is for Parkinson's, MS etc people, and from the looks of the gym and attentiveness of staff, I bet they can work with anyone.

The Zoom classes are really challenging without being 'too much'. Part of the attraction is the fun attitude of David and Jackie. And great part of the class is the pre-workout chats and jokes we have before the meeting.
And for folks here in Columbus, there's a monthly get-together for lunch at a local diner!

Cognition: Just wanted to say that TOTAL HEALTHWORKS is absolutely FANTASTIC! I have Parkinsons disease and it has really been helping.

I have been attending the Wednesday noon class with Jackie Russell and David Zid for about a year now. They make exercises fun, always safe and the hour flies by. Their Brain & Bodywork classes have improved this senior’s fitness as well as memory. I feel much better than I did a year ago. I have told others about your classes.

Total Healthworks has been a lifesaver for me during my journey with Parkinson’s disease. David Zid and his staff work tirelessly to help me and others with Parkinson’s to battle and delay the onslaught of this disease. The entire staff are very professional and supportive and they treat all of their clients with dignity and respect. Personally, Total Healthworks has allowed me to improve my mobility and overall strength as I battle Parkinson’s. I couldn’t imagine my life without Total Healthworks!

I appreciate that the workouts are designed for people with Parkinson’s and other neuromuscular disorders. The focus of each class is often geared toward working on issues that benefit my daily life.

Total Health Works gave me a way to feel like I could fight back against PD. My neurologist suggested that I contact them on the day I was diagnosed. I called Jackie and within a week she began working with me. I could not be more confident in the Total Health Works program. In three years my health and fitness have improved, and my attitude is positive. Jackie and David are the best.

This gym does the seeming impossible. My husband enters walking stooped over and with difficulty, and after a personal training session or a group class, he walks out standing straight and "normally". The trainers have such compassion for the clients. They really care and deal with each client as an individual even in a group class.
I didn't fully appreciate how great this program is, until the first time we went away for a few weeks. After that, we make sure to get back to Healthworks as soon as possible, usually the next day.
It is tough during the pandemic as we miss the live in-person group classes but the live-stream classes are a good substitute. When we can travel again, the online classes will be a great help.

Total HealthWorks is exactly what you are reading, a community for health that works totally! Frenchy

I absolutely love the leaders, David Zid and Jackie Russell. They are as nice as they seem. I thought I would need to join a friend for the motivation to do the Zoom classes but they get you going. And, they are so professional but they hide their book learning under a darling sense of humor. They even teach us neuroplasticity and neurogenesis along with cardio, core, strength, memory, balance, etc.
Yet we start with two minutes of getting the rust off. Their faces are so close on Zoom that their eyes seem like the portals to their souls. They individually encourage each student by name randomly as the class progresses. And, they present lots of options for each exercise.
It is no wonder they are building the bigger facility. I highly recommend this program.

Total Health Works online exercises with David Zidd and Jackie Russell enabled me to exercise all through Covid from the comfort of my home. I continued the program and have greatly benefited from their expertise.

Total Healthworks staff are fun, knowledgeable and dedicated to the needs of Parkinsons members like me as well as the needs of other members with various age related dis-eases. I appreciate their understanding and persistence to help me improve my condition and ease the burden I live with.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease 7 years ago. My Doctor told me to exercise as this is the number one way to slow down the progression of Parkinsons' Disease. I have been taking classes with Total Health Works for over 2 years. Since beginning classes, I have noticed quite an improvement in my balance and overall health.

Thank you Total Health Works!

I am happy to find a exercise program that is based on strategies for helping people with Parkinsons. This gives me a sense of hope. It gives me a sense of control of my life. I'm not just sitting around watching as my body deteriorates. I live in Missouri so I'm an able to attend via zoom. Thank you for your service!

I started taking classes during the pandemic. I loved the classes and instructors whose personalities and skills kept me motivated throughout the pandemic and still do today! Linda B

Trainers are excellent! They really know their stuff. Classes are motivational and fun. I ALWAYS feel better, both physically and mentally, after my Total HealthWorks workouts. Give it a try. You won’t regret it!
