Rock Steady Boxing
What We Do
RSB enables people with Parkinson’s disease to fight their disease by providing non-contact boxing-style fitness programs that improve their quality-of-life and sense of efficacy and self-worth. Recent studies also suggest that intense exercise programs may be “neuro-protective,” actually working to delay the progression of symptoms. RSB provides encouragement through a “tough love” approach, inspiring maximum effort, speed, strength, balance and flexibility. Boxing works by moving your body in all planes of motion while continuously changing the routine as you progress through the workout. RSB classes have proven that anyone, at any level of Parkinson’s, can actually lessen their symptoms and lead a healthier/happier life.
IN THIS CORNER, HOPE
FIGHTING BACK AGAINST PARKINSON'S
Rock Steady Boxing (RSB) was founded in Indianapolis in 2006 as a first-of-its-kind nonprofit gym providing an effective form of physical exercise to people who are living with Parkinson’s. This non-contact boxing-inspired fitness routine is dramatically improving the ability of people with Parkinson’s to live independent lives. RSB was founded by former Marion County (Indiana) prosecutor Scott C. Newman, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at age 40.

What's a Rock Steady Boxing Class Like?
Training classes, taught by Certified Personal Trainers, include an exercise program that attacks Parkinson’s at its vulnerable neurological points. While focusing on overall fitness, strength training, reaction time and balance, workouts include: focus mitts, heavy bags, speed bags, jump rope, core work, calisthenics and circuit weight training. No boxing experience is necessary and people of all ages are invited to participate. Boxers, both male and female, walking independently or not, range in age from mid-30s to early 90s.
We host FYZICAL’s Friday Formation (Parkinson’s Support Group) at 12:30pm on the first Friday of every month.
