Boxing training asks the body to do exactly the things Parkinson's takes away — big movements, quick direction changes, balance under load, and coordination between both sides of the body. That is why gyms around the world now run non-contact boxing for people with PD, and why we run ours five mornings a week.
You do not need boxing experience. You do not need to be fit. Classes are led by certified instructors who adapt every drill to the person doing it — seated options included — and the room is full of people at different stages who understand what the week has been like.
Your first class is free and there is nothing to book — turn up about ten minutes early so a coach can say hello and walk you through the room. Wear comfortable clothes and flat shoes; we will lend you wraps and gloves.
