What Our Boxers Say:
“As a senior with daily health challenges (Parkinson’s), boxing is one of the best activities I can participate in. On the days we have boxing class, my energy is high. By participating in boxing, I have been able to work on the maintenance of my strength, mobility and flexibility in a very positive way. Coach Chris is excellent at designing the sequence of exercises and incorporating actual boxing. Boxing is a fun way to be active and healthy!”
Yvonne, Participant
"Most good things in life don’t come easily. Those of us with Parkinson’s must fight back. You can put on your boxing gloves and beat on a heavy bag and Parkinson’s at the same time.
Bottom line, if you have Parkinson’s or know someone who has the disease, come check out a class or two.
Get off the couch and fight back. My experience has been positive both in slowing the disease and improving my spirit and confidence.
A batch of new friends is a bonus."
Ken, Participant
"Dopamine Boxing has assisted me both mentally and physically on my journey with Parkinson's."

Fight back against Parkinson disease
Dopamine boxing is a fitness program designed specifically for people living with all levels of Parkinson’s disease. The classes aim to improve both fine and large motor impairments, with elements focusing on aerobic fitness, strength training, core stability, balance and flexibility exercises. Loud vocalizations are encouraged in order to improve participant’s speech, and since it is a group exercise class, a social support circle is created. The boxing element of the class is empowering, encouraging our participant’s to fight back against Parkinson’s disease. Research has shown that participation in a boxing class leads to an improved quality of life and decreased depression, anxiety and fatigue among people living with Parkinson's disease.
