What Is Rock Steady Boxing?
Rock Steady Boxing is a non-contact, Parkinson’s-specific exercise program that uses boxing-style movements to help address the physical challenges caused by Parkinson’s disease. There is no sparring or physical contact. Instead, participants perform structured exercises such as punching drills, footwork, balance challenges, and functional strength training.
These exercises are designed to challenge both the body and brain, helping participants move better, react faster, and feel more confident in daily life.

Rock Steady Boxing may be appropriate for individuals who:
Have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease
Experience balance issues, stiffness, or slowed movement
Want a Parkinson’s-focused exercise program
Are looking for a structured, motivating group setting

Programs can be adapted for different stages of Parkinson’s, from early diagnosis to more advanced conditions.

Dynamic warm-up and mobility exercises
Boxing-inspired punching drills (non-contact)
Footwork and agility training
Balance and coordination exercises
