Rock Steady Boxing Tucson at the PWR!Gym
Rock Steady Boxing is a non-contact boxing program designed specifically for people with Parkinson’s disease. Research suggests that exercise involving high intensity, large movements, such as boxing, can slow the progression of the disease and decrease the symptoms of Parkinson’s.
Our classes include a variety of exercises adapted from boxing drills that work on agility, coordination, balance, high-velocity movement, core strength. In addition, there is an emphasis on functional activities, playing games and just having fun in general!
We welcome boxers of all abilities, and no previous boxing experience is necessary. If you are ready to fight your way out of the corner, contact us to see how Rock Steady Boxing Tucson can help you to feel and function better!
