Why do we do it?

How it all started
|
I was curious but didn’t know what to expect when Lisa asked if I’d come by to see what she was doing with her group of boxers with Parkinson’s. What I walked into was a room of enthusiasm and potential. I saw people transforming in an instant and couldn’t help but grab a pair of pads and jump in! If we could get these results in a room with minimal equipment, imagine the possibilities if we ran this program at my fully functional boxing facility! |
Now look at us!
After a few short months running our little boxing group, we started to receive phone calls from around the country. There were health professionals, Parkinson's community educators, and fitness facilities wanting to offer their members the same thing. To help, we developed the Counterpunch Parkinson's Coach Certification Program. Our home is now open to all coaches so we can teach everything we know about running a boxing-based exercise group for people with Parkinson's. We are excited to see our national network growing!
