🌳 When the gym has been closed, we get creative!
🌳. No wall, no problem! We got cozy with the tree and did tree sits!
🌳🌳. Living with a movement disorder doesn’t mean you have to stop moving. It just means you get creative!
🌳. COVID-19 won’t stop us!
If you are someone with Parkinson’s disease or Multiple Sclerosis, let us show you how to keep moving!

Our new double ended bag! 🥊
The hardest part of my job is saying goodbye. Today is bittersweet as I have a final bell for one of my fighters, to find out that I have lost another.
Holden was one of my original fighters when I started off teaching classes in the conference room of the hospital, moved with me over to the YMCA and then followed me to my current gym. He was the sweetest guy with a big belly laugh and smile. He pushed hard and worked hard. I miss him dearly but know that he doesn't have to suffer anymore. May he RIP and say hello to Chuck for me!
So after a couple of relays to start off class, we had some fun working on some balance exercises.
Thanks to Step & Connect, our stations consisted of:
*Single leg "painting" with scarves
*Single leg balance with a cone on their head..aka cone head! 😂
*"Fishing" on uneven pad (working on hip strategy)
*Maximum step length-fwd and backwards (working leg strength and balance)
Everyone had a good laugh...and did an amazing job!

What a great party today...I am overwhelmed with the wonderful gift I received and can’t wait to put it to use for the gym! Thank you everyone for a great year!
We may not be training for a professional fight like Rocky, but we are fighting Parkinson’s disease by training like Rocky to help combat the symptoms. If you know anyone that is diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, send them to Rock Steady Boxing Virginia Beach where we will never give up the fight!
