We had to say our last goodbye to an incredibly dedicated and loyal fighter. His hard work was an inspiration to everyone at Black Dog Fitness.

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan died today. He was 100 years old. He had Parkinson's.
A Parkinson's diagnosis does not define a person's future.

People with Parkinson's can live long, fulfilling, and productive lives. While PD does present challenges, the benefits of exercise, community support, medical care, and staying engaged can make an incredible difference.

At Black Dog Fitness, we see this every day. Our fighters continue to grow stronger, move better, and live life to the fullest because they refuse to let Parkinson's have the final say.

Alan Greenspan presided over the Federal Reserve for 19 years under four presidents and mastered the art of obfuscation known as Fedspeak.
