Movement Revolution

Excellent experience with group Rock steady boxing classes 3 days a week for the last 2 years, as well as 1 day a week of personal training session. Staff are excellent at what they do as well as compassionate. My experience has been excellent all around.

From the guidance given by the fitness coaches I had worked with (Austin, Leana) and continue to work with (Bailey, Daisy), to the direct intention to be sure the facility stays as clean as possible, to how joyous and welcoming of a greeting I receive from the front desk staff (Shari) is, my entire experience here is phenomenal. Thank you, Movement Revolution, for your guidance; as it helps me strengthen my muscles, increase my mobility, and enhance my mind.

Professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, encouraging and challenging physical trainers. Eric Johnson, the founder provides excellent leadership and direction. I've had the good fortune to train with Austin Pohlman and I feel fortunate for the opportunity. My training is customized by Austin to accommodate my specific needs while requiring me to push myself in order to maximize the benefit of our time together. I'm very grateful for the recommendation to go to Movement Revolution after receiving my diagnosis of Parkinson's. Great move.

Movement Revolution is the place to go for spinal cord injury and related trauma. Excellent, knowledgeable, caring and positive staff. I am walking after paraplegia largely due to my work at MR. Shirley Ryan Ability Lab referred me to them, thank goodness. Eric and Christina, the founders, changed my life.

Everyone has been very friendly and supportive . My dad really enjoys going. We hope to continue as it is very beneficial for recovery and maintenance.

My personal trainer is caring knowledgeable patient always looking forward to help me improve he is encouraging and compassionate. I have been through many many hours of therapies during my massive stroke recovery journey and my trainer really help me to start walking with mobility aid which help me feel more worth living despite my limited mobilities. Thanks to movement staff

The team at Movement Revolution has done so much to help my husband manage his progressing Parkinson’s. They are caring & encouraging, helping him to meet his maximum capability. It’s the best thing he does all week!

Eric, Austin, Christina,Daisy and his whole team are Fabulous!
My husband has Parkinson’s (25 yrs)and has been working out at Movement Revolution for 6 years (since they opened in Deerfield)The classes are wonderful and the one on one training is Great! I highly recommend and rate them 10++

Eric has been awesome in helping my wife to begin to regain some use of her left side after having a stroke. He is always mindful of her condition and knows just how far to push her. Before Movement she could not stand without help or even take any assitted steps. After working with Eric over the past 6 months she can stand on her own and is able to walk short distance with assitance. Thank you Eric and Movement Revolution.

Excellent compassionate trainers who tailor your workout based on your individual situation

Proof is in the pudding as the saying goes ... I was diagnosed with Parkinson's three years ago. My neurologist, who I see every four months, uses the Uniform Parkinson's Rating Scale to assess the progression of the disease ... The lower one's score the better. Before I started Rock Steady Boxing with Eric and his crew, my doctor gave me a score of 36. After just four months of participating in Rock Steady Boxing, my doctor rated me 28 ... eight points better. He attributes my progress directly to my exercise. If you have Parkinson's disease, I would highly recommend Eric Johnson and his Rock Steady Boxing program!

At Movement Revolution I box three times a week. Because of this I enjoy wonderful well-being, improved coordination and balance. Rock Steady Boxing and the Neuro Fight Club are my salvation from the fatigue, stiffness and depression that accompany Parkinson's Disease. While there is no cure (yet), boxing has reversed many of my symptoms. Movement Revolution also provides a comforting sense of community and friends while I am fighting back against PD with my inspiring fellow boxers. The staff--Eric, Laura, Daisy and Olivia--are all top notch.

I had heard that exercise was as good as medicine when treating the symptoms of Parkinson's, so I signed up for a month (all payment plans that I have seen are 30 days or 10 sessions - no long term commitments). One month was all it took to get me hooked. I feel great after each session and kept renewing, month after month.

There are about a dozen people - men, and women - in our group, and on an average day eight or nine show up. The main theme of the sessions is boxing, but don't be fooled by the name. We do a lot of stretching, flexibility, balance exercises and cardio besides punching the bags. No slugging it out with another person. We work with basketballs, medicine balls, ropes, dumbbells, step-up benches among other things.

I have been a client of MR for 14 months. I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease 10 years ago, and I found Movement Revolution through a newspaper article.

During that time Daisy has been our group's session leader. She is an accomplished trainer with years of experience - and it shows. For each session she plans a fresh workout - never boring, always challenging. Her hard nosed approach may be due in part her family life growing up. She describes the way her older brother taught her to swim by just taking her to the deep water and throwing her in. She has the kind of toughness that you see when athletic girls acquire when they have all brothers - no sisters. Toughness with compassion - always there to help those people who might be struggling.

The Deerfield gym has modern equipment and plenty of parking. It uses only a fraction of the space; there are 4 full basketball courts that share the facility. I rate this wonderful place 5 stars.

I really enjoy my group sessions with Eric Johnson and his very capable team. They are all skilled in providing the best training in a safe, caring, enthusiastic way . These worthwhile sessions are held in a well equipped facility which helps in providing great variation in our workouts. I highly recommend this training opportunity.

This program has been very helpful to my husband physically, emotionally, and socially. It is a terrific resource for addressing the symptoms of Parkinson’s

Great trainers who are specialists in neuro-training provide both professional and warm, friendly guidance and encouragement.

I’ve been inpatient rehab, clinic rehab and in home rehab .This facility by far has the most experienced staff who demonstrate fluency with your case, lots of hands on feedback. If you want to get better, movement revolution can help !

Specializes in neurological issues. I have improved since I’ve been going for the last few months .

Great
