"Non-contact boxing inspired classes can reverse, reduce, and even delay the symptoms of PD.
We are learning every day that there are ways in which people with Parkinson’s disease can enhance their quality of life and even build strength, flexibility, and speed! By exercising with coaches who know the ropes, you can fight your way out of the corner and start to feel and function better.

This May we launched our Rock Steady Boxing program serving individuals with Parkinson’s. Recent studies suggest that intense exercise, such as boxing, may be neuroprotective and work to delay the progression of disease symptoms. We are very excited to offer this program for members of the Elko County community.
Cornermen needed. We are looking for any volunteers.
Volunteers play an important and rewarding role that contributes to the success of the participants in the Rock Steady Boxing program. You’ll assist the RSB coach to set up before class and help ensure the safety of all the boxers during class. And importantly, your enthusiasm will contribute to making each class the best it can be for the boxers!
