ABOUT ROCK STEADY BOXING

We are learning every day that there are ways in which people with Parkinson’s disease can enhance their daily quality of life and even build impressive power, strength, flexibility, and speed! This non-contact boxing-style fitness program works by moving your body in all planes of motion while continuously changing the routine as you progress through the workout. These classes have proven that anyone, at any level of Parkinson’s, can actually lessen their symptoms and lead a healthier/happier life.

Recent studies have proven that forced, intense exercise programs are “neuro-protective,” actually working to delay the progression of symptoms.

In addition to being certified Rock Steady Boxing Trainers, our coaches are licensed physical therapists, with extensive experience working with people with neurlogical disorders, with additional certifications as LSVT BIG Therapists, LSVT BIG FOR LIFE Therapists, as well as PWR! Therapists. Call Coach Barb at 908-210-2153 or Coach Denise at 908-468-0249 for more information and to schedule a “get to know you” session! All levels welcome!!

Classes are currently being offered 3 days per week, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays 2-3:30 pm.
Evening classes W: 7:45-9:15 pm, F: 6:30-8:00 pm.
Call to learn about additional classes being added!

PAST EVENTS

For the month of June 2020 we hosted a virtual challenge: Walk-Run-Rock Steady Virtual Olympic Challenge.  We teamed together with other local Rock Steady Boxing programs to  motivate each other to get out and get moving!  We also raised money to support our Rock Steady Boxing programs during the challenging times we are facing with this pandemic.  Together we raised almost $6000 and walked/ran/pedaled a combined total of over 8900 miles!!

On June 12, Celia Griepentrog, DPT joined our zoom class for a presentation on pelvic health and Parkinson’s.  It was extremely informative and helpful; we all learned a lot!  

The Hillsborough Township Committee declared April as Parkinson’s Awareness Month at their April 28, 2020 meeting.  They showed a brief video of our Rock Steady Boxing program via their live stream.  Coach Barb Kelly accepted the proclamation from Mayor Tomson.  

We had a great showing at the 2020 Haillsborough  Resolution Run 5K on New Years Day.  A huge thank you to the organizers of the race and for the generous donation that Rock Steady Boxing Hillsborough received for its scholarship program for people with Parkinson’s. 

December 7, 2019  was our RSBH Holiday Party!  In addition to a presentation by a movement disorder specialist, we enjoyed games, laughs,  great food and music and each other’s company!

Rachel Stanislawczyk from Dance for Parkinson’s joined us and led us in a beautiful dance warm-up routine on August 28, 2019.

Jane Schwartz, registered dietitian and nutritionist, visited our class and provided an educational presentation on Foods for Brain Health on September 20, 2019.

Many of our boxers, coaches, volunteers and care-buddies joined us for the Team Parkinson Run, September 21, 2019 at the Carnegie Center in Princeton, NJ.

Our 2 year anniversary Open House presented by Coach Barb, Coach Denise, and our family of boxers, corner-buddies, and volunteers was held on Sunday March 24, 2019! Hillsborough Township Mayor Frank DelCore joined in the festivities, and went a few rounds with our fightersKelly
