Announcing Rock Steady Boxing in Louisiana!!
Rock Steady Boxing is based out of Indianapolis, IN and is a non-contact form of boxing-style fitness program designed specifically for those living with Parkinson's disease. There are billions of dollars being spent on finding a cure, but these people need to have some hope while they are waiting...and now they have it!
I had the opportunity of a lifetime when I attended a training camp held at RSB headquarters on May 15-17. I knew the trip was going to be an emotional one for me, considering this disease is so close to home, but this experience touched me in a way that I will never forget! The training was amazing in itself, but the instructors, the RSB members, and the other soon-to-be coaches were some of the most caring and genuine people I have EVER come across!
As of now, I am the only certified coach/affiliate in Louisiana and I can't wait to spread the word. It is our hope that we can have locations in every city so when someone is diagnosed with PD, the neurologist can say "You have Parkinson's, but you can go down the street to Rock Steady Boxing, and do something about it!" I am currently looking for a location so that we can begin classes soon! Stay tuned, but in the meantime, please check out some of these amazing people for yourself!
