WHO WE ARE: Rock Steady Boxing of Bridgewater/Martinsville is a boxing-inspired fitness program which dramatically improves the ability of people with Parkinson’s Disease to live independent lives.
WHAT WE DO: RSB enables people with Parkinson’s Disease to fight their disease by providing a non-contact boxing-style fitness program that improves their quality of life and sense of efficacy and self-worth. Recent studies have proven that forced, intense exercise programs are “neuroprotective,: actually working to delay the progression of symptoms. RSB provides encouragement through a “tough love” approach, inspiring maximum effort, speed, strength, balance, and flexibility. Boxing works by moving your body in all planes of motion while continuously changing the routine as you progress through the workout. RSB classes have proven that anyone, at any level of Parkinson’s, can actually lessen their symptoms and lead a healthier and happier life.
WHAT’S A CLASS LIKE Training classes, taught by Rock Steady Boxing Certified Trainers, include an exercise program that attacks Parkinson’s at its vulnerable neurological points. While focusing on overall fitness, strength training, reaction time and balance, workouts include stretching, stationary bags, speed bag, jump rope, shadow boxing, focus mitts, core work and cardio. No boxing experience is necessary and people of all ages are invited to participate.
