8-WEEK FITNESS CHALLENGE
This is how it all started. The 8-Week MS Fitness Challenge is for everyone with MS, even if you have never set foot in a gym before. Our trainers work with people of all ages, fitness levels and stages of MS progression, whether coordination challenged or wheelchair bound. All that knowledge and expertise went into creating an online video training program specifically to benefit MSers’ personal needs, goals and abilities.
