What our members say

 "We’re all told exercise is the best way to keep Parkinson’ s disease symptoms at bay. But what kind of exercise? It should be intense. It should be fun and convenient. And it’s even better if it’s social. ZWAP on Zwift checks all the boxes! The group encourages you to push harder, but it’s not a competition. I look forward to riding with my friends around the world." 

Matt from Los Angeles: 53 years - Parkinson's since 2020

 "Exercise, especially cycling together with the Zwifters Against Parkinson's, is how I fight Mr. Parkinson. ZWAP has really opened a new world for me. I can exercise from home, it is social and I now have friends all over the world. ZWAP motivates me to keep on fighting, and most important it has made me strong enough to fight." 

Hanne from Namsos in Norway: 48 years - Parkinson's since 2019

 "I love my rides with ZWAP. Of course, they keep me fit over winter and I’m sure they keep my tremors at bay. But more than that, they provide a chance to cycle and to chat with like minded people around the world, sometimes talking about our experience of Parkinson’s but often just general cycling banter." 

Jonathan from England: 60 years - Parkinson's since 2021

 «Sitting on a bike indoors can be a bit dull. Zwift improves it a lot, but the conversation with friends on ZWAP makes it something I look forward to. Committing to workouts and meetings in advance helps with motivation too, and it’s definitely improved my cycling outside.» 

Ben from England: 56 years - Parkinson´s since 2019

How to start indoor cycling 

Find the right equipment

You need some indoor cycling equipment to start Zwifting, and a place to put it in your home. In addition you need a device and screen to run the Zwift application (pad/laptop/appletv), which connect wireless to the cycling equipment. In addition you use your phone to run the Zwift Companion app. To participate in our Zoom video chat, you also need some kind of device with camera and mic, ideally a separate one from the two other mentioned. Everything is explained more detailed below (scroll down)

Join our Zwift exercise sessions

Every day of the week, selected ZWAP-members voluntary lead meetups and workouts on Zwift, cycling together online. Participation is free, and most of us have Parkinson´s, including the session leader! All training sessions are carried out with the option of taking part in a Zoom-based video chat. Open for everybody who relates to Parkinson’s. To start, download the Zwift Companion app, create a user, and join ZWAP as a club in Zwift. You will then find our exercise sessions in the Club Event list.
