Exercise Referral - Parkinson's Boxing class

A Parkinson's boxing fit class is a full-body workout exercise regimen where you perform non-combat boxing exercises

A typical boxing fit class will involve:

• Stretches and warm-up exercises to prepare the body for the workout and to avoid injury.
• Punching bags and speed balls to help improve coordination and posture or punching heavy bags to build strength and muscle.
• Vocal exercises are incorporated into the workout to help with any voice disorder symptoms of Parkinson's
• Footwork and other agility exercises will be used to help improve balance.
• Light reaction equipment to increase reaction speed.

There is also a lot of group exercises that focus on socialization and community in each class such as partnered pad work.

Each Session is £3.00 or included as part of an Exercise Referral leisure centre membership.

To be accepted you must be referred by a medical professional and attend a welcome meeting prior to attending any class. 

Wednesday 5.30pm to 6.25pm and Thursday 1.15pm to 2.15pm
