Rock Steady Boxing is a fitness and training gym designed uniquely for people with Parkinson's Disease (PWP) using training exercises used by boxers to enhance balance, overall strength, cardiovascular fitness, eye-hand coordination, agility, and footwork. Work on the heavy, speed, and two-ended bags promotes posture, forward reaching, and weight shifting. All these activities are performed as high intensity, high velocity, forced exercise - with "forced" meaning the group dynamics of class and a coach encouraging each person to do just a little more or hit a little harder than that person would do if exercising alone at home or in a public gym. There is definite camaraderie among PWP and they give encouragement as no one else can do.
