In this episode I visit a boxing gym that’s not quite what you’d expect and so much more than you think. Rock Steady Boxing is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that gives people with Parkinson’s disease hope by improving their quality of life through a non-contact boxing based fitness curriculum. The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation estimates there are more than 60,000 people in the United States diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease each year. Rock Steady Boxing is the first gym in the country dedicated to the fight against Parkinson’s.
In this episode, I speak with individuals who have been diagnosed with this disease and who share how Rock Steady Boxing has helped to improve their life.
