Member Fights Back Against Parkinson’s in Rock Steady Boxing Program
Deb had some minor health issues as well as Parkinson’s Disease. She struggled with mobility and getting a regular exercise regime. Before joining the Rock Steady Boxing program at Riverside Health Fitness Center, she had an irregular exercise routine.
“At RHFC they had everything I needed so that I didn’t have to go to multiple places. For me, I was needing an exercise program for Parkinson’s Disease and nowhere else in town has one. The coaches do a wonderful job. The front desk staff, members, and instructors are “peppy not pushy”. People in the classes are understanding and supportive. It feels like family.”
Deb says that Rock Steady Boxing has encouraged her to exercise regularly which has helped her keep her mobility with Parkinson’s. She has gone back to physical therapy and her Parkinson’s has not regressed. She and her friends from the class grab lunch regularly outside the center.
“Seek within yourself what your purpose/goals are. It sounds weird but my life revolves around the group exercise classes offered at the gym. Everybody is so positive and friendly. I feel like they all care about what they do, it’s not just a job.”
When asked if she would recommend Riverside Health Fitness Center Deb says:
“For Parkinson’s or a movement disorder, I haven’t found anything else in the area that has made an impact on me. I would recommend Riverside Health Fitness Center. It has a lot of variety with the pool, track, machines, and whirlpool as well as a wide range of fitness programs and classes. The center has a well-trained staff.”
