Rock Steady Boxing
Although there is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, there is a way to fight back.
Rock Steady Boxing is a non-contact boxing class that is designed to slow the disease progression by empowering people with Parkinson’s disease to improve their minds and bodies.
Our program is an affiliate of Indianapolis-based Rock Steady Boxing, which started in 2006 after Scott C. Newman was diagnosed at age 40 with early onset Parkinson’s. According to Rock Steady Boxing website, Newman improved his physical health, agility and daily functioning through the intense workouts.
How to get started with Rock Steady Boxing
People with all stages of Parkinson’s disease are welcome. It is never too late to start! You do need a doctor’s referral to get started. Participants will be evaluated by a certified Rock Steady Boxing trainer before joining the class to ensure they are ready. Once evaluated, boxers can pick and choose which classes they want to attend — two to three classes a week is recommended. See schedule.
What are Rock Steady Boxing classes like?
The class begins with warmups that focus on balance and agility, and then participants pound heavy bags and speed bags. A trainer announces numbers that correspond to a variety of punches, and participants repeat the numbers back, thus building their minds and voices as they work their muscles. Rock Steady Boxing is a research-based exercise class, and our program can be modified to each individual to provide them with the best workout for their needs.
When are Rock Steady Boxing classes?
Classes are held in person and are limited to three sessions per person per week with a maximum of 20 people per class. The cost is $75 per month.
