Melissa is a down to earth , yet will get you out of your comfort zone teacher. I just love how he teaches and how our community looks to her for support and instruction. When I was diagnosed with PD--I felt SAD until I went to PDnext steps. MElissa not only encourages and supports, there are informational speakers, and group activiites such as Game night, etc I tried other place that had exercise for PD, but they weren't for me . I highly recommend Melissa Carlson and the PD next steps

First, an admission. normally, I don't write reviews. They come across as either self serving or attempts to get back at some perceived slight perpetrated by the owner. In this case however I feel compelled to offer what I think is a fairly unvarnished opinion.I have Parkinson's disease. It's not pleasant. One of the things that makes it bearable is the ability to live a somewhat normal life. And the way I achieve that is by exercise. Only one problem. I hate exercising.So I'm forced to do something I hate to maintain something I love. It's not as bad as it seems because fortunately I found Melissa Carlson and her gym, PD next steps. They don't make exercise any more...read full review

When I was diagnosed with Parkinson I was a little down, but within 2-months I met Melissa and got on the path to health. When I started I was using a walker and was limited in mobility. A year later after working HARD with Melissa, my symptoms were actually much less than when I was diagnosed & I could not believe the degree of exercise movement I could achieve.She is an incredible therapist, instructor and person. I cannot imagine how I would have gotten to this point without her.She is constantly attending classes & seminars about PD and improving her knowledge & ours.Every day she is up, ready and full of positive energy, a beacon to us all !!!Wesley Law
