We welcome you to a select group of Parkinson's people who have decided fighting back is the best option.
Training classes, taught by Rock Steady Coaches and Certified Personal Trainers, include an exercise program that attacks Parkinson’s at its vulnerable neurological points. Classes target Parkinson's symptoms while also focusing on overall fitness, strength training, reaction time and balance. Rock Steady Boxing has proven that anyone, at any level of Parkinson’s, can actually lessen their symptoms and lead a healthier/happier life.
Workouts include: focus mitts, heavy bags, speed bags, double-ended bags, boxing drills, stretching and FUN!!
NO BOXING experience is necessary and people of all ages are invited to participate. Boxers, both male and female, range in age from mid-30s to early 90s.
Rock Steady Boxing, the first boxing program of its kind in the country, was founded in 2006 by former Marion County (Indiana) Prosecutor, Scott C. Newman, who is living with Parkinson’s.
Rock Steady Boxing initially began through the friendship of two men, Scott Newman and Vince Perez, after Scott had been diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s at the age of 40. Refusing to let his friend go down without a fight, Vince turned to his experience as a Golden Gloves boxer to design a program that attacks Parkinson’s at its vulnerable neurological points.
His intuitive insight is now proven to have merit through an increasing body of medical research. Realizing that their experience might be replicated for others, Scott and Vince founded Rock Steady Boxing as a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization. As word of this unique program spread and the demand for the classes increased, Rock Steady Boxing created classes to meet the fitness levels at all stages of Parkinson’s – from the newly diagnosed to those who had been living with it for decades plus.
Rock Steady Boxing, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, gives people with Parkinson’s disease hope by improving their quality of life through a non-contact boxing based fitness curriculum.
