We’ve been coming to two classes with Mickey, Silver Sneaker Classic and Healthy Back, and we’ve noticed more flexibility and improved balance. Mickey’s knowledge in muscle function and care for his students makes us feel confident in recommending him for anyone looking to feel better as they age.

I’ve only been coming to Silver Sneakers for a short time, but Mickey is different. He is very patient and concerned about our safety. He gives us memory challenges. I would definitely recommend others to work with Mickey.

When I do not attend Mickey’s class, it is more difficult to deal with the troubling aspects of Parkinson’s. Mickey’s energy level and persistence in demonstrating each exercise and how it helps people with Parkinson’s comes across as genuine. Regardless of class size, Mickey approaches each individual’s needs masterfully.

Mickey has taken great care to educate himself about Parkinson’s to evolve himself to create a class that is meaningful, challenging, and productive to those with the disease. He takes great care to explain the goal of each exercise so we can maximize its benefits. He is positive, empathetic, and passionate about our well being.

Mickey is more than just a teacher, he instills confidence, encourages effort and we see progress from all his positivity. As I approach my 83rd birthday, it is with confidence, and that is in part, thanks to Mickey Burke.

Having a Ball!

I met Mickey two years ago at Personally Fit, shortly after I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. I went to Mickey for an evaluation and exercise plan. Since taking classes with Mickey, as well as, individual training, I have greatly improved. My gait is much better, I can balance, jump rope, and do other motions that I heretofore thought were impossible.
Mickey is knowledgeable, personable, and truly cares about his clients. I highly recommend him.

Mickey brings enthusiasm and personal attention, cooperation and collaboration; he both challenges and encourages us. Mickey has the best qualities that one looks for: knowledge, professionalism, and human interest.

Mickey’s class is more age related than others, the hour spent in Silver Sneakers is invigorating, motivating, and enjoyable. Mickey has a great personality and he’s fun to work with, along with being knowledgeable in his field.

Mickey makes exercise fun, works our brains as well as our bodies, and appreciates the concerns, problems, and risks as one gets older. He shows us how our class exercises help us with everyday events at home.

Mickey is always encouraging me. He is supportive and caring. He is patient and kind. This is important since I feel I am a slow learner who never exercised until I retired at age 70!

I am pleased to speak on behalf of Mickey, my Rock Steady Boxing instructor. His technical knowledge is second to none. His classes are well scripted, with not a minute wasted. He plays uplifting music. He always comments on the positive, never the negative. His course will challenge you both mentally and physically. Put simply, his course leaves you with a feeling of well-being that no prescription drug has been able to do. He’s the best.
