Exercise Programs

“Now, eighteen years into my MS journey, I have found exactly what I need...MS-FITT!”

I was an athlete my whole life prior to being diagnosed with MS and even the first ten years after diagnosis. Then, overnight everything changed. Now, eighteen years into my MS journey, I have found exactly what I need...MS-FITT! I must sincerely thank everyone who makes this program possible. McMaster University, the sponsors, PACE staff and volunteers. The personalized exercise program is phenomenal and is helping me immensely. It’s frustrating to have your abilities ripped away from you, but it’s amazing to have a place and the help to get some back. You help to make this happen, to make my life better. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Nadina Gregory

“The MacWheelers program has been life-changing.”

When I was discharged from my Outpatient Physio program I worried that I might lose some of what I had recovered without ongoing physiotherapy. MacWheelers had been strongly recommended to me by the Outpatient team, but I was skeptical that going to a ‘gym’ could replace the specialized program that had helped my recovery so much. Once I experienced MacWheelers it was clear that it was far more than a membership at a gym! I was assessed and a personalized workout regimen was created for me. Eventually, I came for extra sessions to practice my walking and I have experienced significant improvements. The MacWheelers program has been life-changing. The staff and volunteers provide exceptional expertise, support and encouragement. I am certain that I would not have the quality of life I currently enjoy without MacWheelers. Thank you for all you do!

“You and your team deserve the utmost praise for identifying the primary underlying issues and providing effective therapy.”

Thank you for a job well done. My multiple experiences with personal trainers and physiotherapists have rarely produced as positive a result. You and your team deserve the utmost praise for identifying the primary underlying issues and providing effective therapy. Additionally, you accomplished the objective within a very tight, externally imposed, time frame. This wholehearted endorsement will be forwarded to my other health care providers, in the hope that patients they refer to you will achieve similar excellent results.
