East Tennessee’s Only Gym Dedicated to Fighting Parkinson’s Disease
Research has shown over and over again that exercise is a vital component of combating Parkinson’s disease. It is the only thing that treats the disease – everything else (drugs, surgery, shots, supplements) only mask the symptoms. Regular exercise can slow, stop, or even reverse the progression Parkinson’s disease.
We are East Tennessee’s only gym dedicated to helping people with Parkinson’s with One-on-one training, group fitness or online training.
Don’t wait for a crisis. Even if you don’t think you “need to do all that yet”, the sooner you start exercising, the sooner you will start slowing the progression of Parkinson’s. Exercise slows the progression of Parkinson’s no matter what stage of PD you are in.
Rock Steady Boxing was the first program in the country dedicated to the fight against Parkinson’s disease. Our exercises are non-contact (no one gets hit) adaptations of boxing drills. Boxers condition for optimal agility, speed, muscular endurance, accuracy, hand-eye coordination, footwork and overall strength. Parkinson’s fighters benefit from the exact same stuff and the intensity of a good fight.
Our membership structure is designed to fit your life and budget. You can choose from unlimited access or a specific number of classes per a month when visiting our gym. Each membership tier gives you access to all our in-gym programs: Rock Steady Boxing, PWR!, Dance, and more!
