“I’ve always been into fitness and leading a healthy lifestyle. I’m a massive cheerleader for everyone to adopt a healthier lifestyle and include activity in their lives, regardless of their abilities. I will always find a way to adapt activities to suit the person I work with.

In addition to running my own business I currently work for NHS Highland delivering their Living Well programme. This is an exercise referral programme for people living with long-term conditions who need significant support to exercise. Through this programme I have worked with a variety of conditions and watched people flourish and grow in confidence as they realise they can do more than they thought possible.

I am currently studying:

Diploma in intrinsic biomechanics coaching
Level 4 sports massage

Personal Training for People with Parkinson’s in Minard

Personal Training can be an incredibly effective tool to help you manage your Parkinson’s and live well with the condition. There is now extensive evidence showing us that the right exercise, nutrition and lifestyle programmes can reduce symptoms, slow progression and make you feel better. Understanding and implementing the right programmes can be extremely difficult. Regular appointments with a properly qualified Parkinson’s Specialist Personal Trainer in Minard offer the most effective way to reap the benefits that are available. Your Personal Trainer should have a Parkinson’s specific qualification, relevant experience, full insurance, as well as knowledge of how to work with a multi-disciplinary team (MDT). All members of the National Register of Parkinson’s Specialist Personal Trainers satisfy these conditions.

The National Register of Parkinson’s Specialist Personal Trainers

Until recently it has been extremely difficult for people living with Parkinson’s to find a properly qualified personal trainer. The National Register of Parkinson’s Specialist Personal Trainers (NRPSPT) has been created to solve this problem. Set up and run by 4D Life in partnership with Parkinson’s UK, the register recruits, trains and monitors personal trainers to work locally with people with Parkinson’s. We work with CIMSPA to help us ensure all members of the register are Level 3 or 4 qualified Personal Trainers, fully insured, and have completed a Parkinson’s specific training programme prior to inclusion on the register. Rachel Blair is an NRPSPT member in Minard.
