🌟 Intern Spotlight 🌟
This summer, we're thrilled to welcome two incredible interns to the Parkinson's Pointe family — Janelle and Tyler!

Meet Janelle 👋 Janelle graduated from CSU last May with a bachelor's in Health and Exercise Science and is now pursuing her master's in Clinical Exercise Physiology at the University of Denver. She's passionate about promoting health and quality of life for people with neurological conditions, with hopes of continuing on to PT school. When she's not studying, you'll find her outdoors hiking, snowboarding, or behind a camera. Janelle says her favorite part of Parkinson's Pointe so far has been witnessing the strength of our community and everyone's dedication to staying active!

Meet Tyler 👋 Tyler Hofferber is a Denver native currently earning his master's in Clinical Exercise Physiology. He brings 4 years of experience as an adaptive exercise specialist at a Denver neurorehab gym, and also coaches a wheelchair rugby team alongside his closest friends. Helping others has always been Tyler's passion, and he's continuing to build on that through his education. Outside the gym, he's either on his couch playing video games with his dog Honey, or out snowboarding, hiking, and hunting Pokémon. Tyler says the kindness he's experienced at Parkinson's Pointe has been remarkable, and he's loved getting to know the incredible people in our classes.
Welcome to the team, Janelle and Tyler!

Five years ago, Dan noticed a slight limp — something his friends and family caught onto before he did. A visit to his doctor led to a neurologist, a brain scan, and a Parkinson's diagnosis.

At the time, Dan was already in physical therapy for back pain and asked if they offered anything Parkinson's-specific. The answer was no — and he heard the same from several other providers, until one therapist mentioned Parkinson's Pointe.

He reached out right away. "Sarah scheduled an assessment immediately," Dan recalls. "She was most helpful, kind, and empathetic."

That assessment led him to Strength & Balance, Yoga, and Tai Chi, which are still his favorites nearly a year later. He's since added Dance, Cycling, and the occasional round of Ping-Pong to his weekly routine.

The impact has been significant. Read Dan's full story now >>

⭐July Member Spotlight ⭐

We want to congratulate Bob on being our member of the month for July! Bob is a consistent presence in both Indoor Cycling and Strength and Balance. You can't miss him as he's the first one to Strength and Balance helping to get everything set up!

We have all noticed that hard work he puts in during class, challenging himself with the heaviest weights and working hard on his form. We were grateful that he shared his Parkinson's Pointe community with his wife Debbie who joined us for the Spinathon!

Thanks Bob for the effort you show every day – towards your own health, and towards helping other members. We're so glad that you are part of our community!

"The kindness and support of our instructors and community members is part of the reason I find my participation at Parkinson's Pointe important. The second reason is the physical activities. I have begun to play golf again. Cycling and Strength and Balance have allowed me to play with confidence. These are strong incentives for me to continue with Parkinson's Pointe." – Bob

⭐June Member Spotlight ⭐

We are thrilled to celebrate Sue Penner this month! We are grateful that Sue found Parkinson's Pointe and is spreading her joy and positive attitude with our community.

Sue had become a frequent presence at a variety of classes around the facility when an unlucky trip and fall caused a leg injury requiring surgery, a brace, and a long recovery. While many would have succumbed to the setback as she was unable to attend her regular classes, Sue's attitude was "well... what CAN I do?" Next thing we knew, she was a regular in every supported class, meeting new people and continuing to grow her connections with even more of our members. Sue has turned her lemons into lemonade in a way that inspires us all!

Congratulations Sue! Thank you for showing us all how to persevere in the face of setbacks.
