Beat Parkinson's Today

Learn About Our Mission

To provide people who have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease with hope and the opportunity to live their lives with confidence and strength. Our classes encourage intense exercise through Boxing & Functional Interval Training which is personalized for each individual. Classes also provide emotional and social support and give participants a sense of empowerment over their destiny.

Beat PD Today is a program that will improve the quality of life of people with Parkinson’s by performing exercises that are functional to everyday living. Along with Interval Training, boxing is a large part of the program and has shown to improve symptoms in Parkinson's and slow the progression of the disease. Boxing helps balance, explosiveness, strength, mental strength and more. Common symptoms such as gait, balance and motor control often improve over time, with research now showing the progression of the disease slows. Participants will feel better both emotionally and physically.
