At The Cellar Gym, we believe in the power of movement, discipline, and community. Over the years, we’ve seen firsthand how martial arts transforms lives – building strength, sharpening focus, and igniting confidence. But one of the most inspiring stories in our gym is the growing number of people with Parkinson’s disease who are using boxing to fight back, both physically and mentally.

Why Boxing?

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, balance, and coordination. Symptoms like tremors, stiffness, and slow movements can make everyday tasks challenging. But research – and the results experienced by real people – are proving that boxing can help.

Boxing training is uniquely effective because it combines everything the body and brain need: footwork, balance, hand-eye coordination, agility, strength, and mental focus. It’s not just about throwing punches; it’s about connecting your brain to your body with every movement.

What Happens in a Parkinson’s Boxing Class?

At The Cellar Gym, our Parkinson’s boxing program is non-contact and specifically designed for people of all abilities who are living with the disease. You won’t be sparring or getting hit. Instead, you’ll be working on:

• Footwork drills to improve balance and mobility

• Punch combinations to sharpen coordination and reaction time

• Cognitive challenges to keep your brain engaged and responsive

• Strength and cardio exercises to boost overall health and endurance

• Stretching and mobility work to reduce stiffness and increase range of motion

Every workout is scalable and safe, guided by experienced coaches who are passionate about helping you succeed.

More Than a Workout… It’s a Community

The most powerful part of our program? The people. When you train here, you’re not just showing up for a workout – you’re joining a team that supports you, sweats with you, and celebrates your victories, big and small. Our Parkinson’s boxing classes celebrate true fighters who lift each other up, share laughs, and prove every day that they are stronger than their diagnosis.

Real Results, Real Hope

Members in our program often report:

• Improved balance and coordination

• Increased strength and endurance

• Reduced tremors and stiffness

Most importantly, our members leave class feeling like they can – because they are.
