The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation estimates there are more than 1 million people in the United States diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. More than 60,000 people get the diagnosis each year. Rock Steady Boxing is the first gym and program in the country dedicated to the fight against Parkinson’s.

Rock Steady Boxing improves the quality of life for people battling Parkinson’s disease. It does this through non-contact, boxing-inspired fitness training. We are learning every day that there are ways in which people with Parkinson’s disease can enhance their daily quality of life. With this program, you can build impressive power, strength, flexibility, and speed! By exercising with coaches who know the ropes, you can fight your way out of the corner and start to feel and function better.

Classes are on-going and new participants may join at any time.

Class Days and Times: 

  • Monday, Wednesday and Friday 1:00-2:30PM at the Express YMCA
