About the Program
Rock Steady Boxing is a program designed for those with Parkinson’s Disease. As the name suggests, boxing is a portion of the class protocol, with additional emphasis placed on exercises and activities to improve agility, endurance, balance, hand-eye coordination, and strength. Rock Steady Boxing classes will meet Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. Participants must complete an assessment and provide medical clearance prior to attending their first class.
