Description

Most people associate Parkinson’s disease with older men, but Grace’s story is a good reminder that it truly can affect anyone.


In this conversation with Joe Wicks, Grace shares the story of how she was diagnosed with young onset Parkinson’s at just 38 years old, how she initially coped with the diagnosis, and how crafting an intensive exercise routine has been nothing short of  life-changing.


Plus, Grace discusses the amazing relationship she has with her personal trainer Talia, and how she’s become more confident in her fitness than ever before - even signing up to compete in a Hyrox!
