\u201cI have been attending Rock Steady Boxing classes with Melissa since 2017. It\u2019s a great workout and has helped my balance and strength training. I do three classes a week and look forward to each session. More importantly, it has given me a real sense of community. Over the years, I\u2019ve met so many fellow boxers who are fighting the same battle against Parkinson\u2019s<\/em>\u201d\u2014 Alex<\/p>\n\n\n\n
