Box back against
Parkinson's.
Hard, intentional exercise is one of the few things shown to slow how Parkinson's progresses. This class uses boxing to train the things the disease chips away at: balance, footwork, strength, and a voice that carries. No contact, fully supervised, scaled to whatever kind of day you're having.

Adrienne
Head Parkinson's Coach
Adrienne loves getting folks started in fitness and breaking down the barriers to moving well. Over the past three years, she has focused her work on helping people diagnosed with Parkinson's disease improve their quality of life through boxing. As a certified personal trainer and Rock Steady Boxing coach, her experience creates a safe space for clients to challenge themselves every day.
Here's what she loves most: when her clients surprise themselves and achieve more than they thought they could, no matter how big or small the win. Her background in kettlebells, barbells, and group fitness shows up in classes that stay fun and dynamic.
A self-described introvert, when she's not coaching she's reading, cooking, or building her cinephile knowledge base. Casual sports fan with a serious soft spot for soccer.
