Parkinson’s UK partners with BrandInc Fitness to deliver new 99p Fitness memberships for Northern Ireland communities
Parkinson’s communities from across Northern Ireland are being encouraged to try a new physical activity and exercise pilot which is aiming to help more people get active for winter.
Called 99p Fitness, the pilot project will be open until 1 March 2026, which has no cost attached. After this time membership will cost 99p per month.
Developed by BrandInc Fitness and Parkinson’s UK, the new 99p Fitness membership includes on-demand, accessible online workout routines which can be followed by users from the comfort of their own homes.
New workouts and exercises are added every month, with a focus on aerobic, strength, balance and coordination. Each routine features different levels of intensity to help people with Parkinson’s to find the right type of workout for them, and carers or relatives are also encouraged to take part in the tutorials.
Flexibility and individuality
The 99p Fitness resource is designed to be flexible and individual to all users with options to pick your own workouts, based on your interests and abilities, with up to eight separate session elements available for all users to mix and match their routines.
New users are recommended to start at the beginner level and then build-up their intensity based on the type of exercise or activity. All new users are also asked to complete a health questionnaire and follow an online induction before starting to use the programme.
Emma McKeown, Northern Ireland Area Development Manager at Parkinson’s UK, said: “The Parkinson’s community in Northern Ireland have enjoyed making the most of the free pilot, which runs until March 2026, and we are encouraged by their feedback. Everyone taking part so far has had a positive experience and we’re delighted that the offer will now be available across the UK, costing just 99p a month. We know that physical activity can help with Parkinson’s symptoms and this is another way people can get moving in their own home. ”
