Rock Steady Boxing is an evidence-based, non-contact boxing program specifically designed to help people living with Parkinson’s disease. It is specifically designed to address Parkinson’s symptoms such as slow or small movements, imbalance, stiffness, flexed posture, and respiratory weakness.

Rock Steady Boxing Peninsula is an affiliate of Rock Steady Boxing (RSB). Rock Steady Boxing is a first-of-its kind, Indianapolis-based non-profit gym founded in 2006 to provide an effective form of physical exercise to people who are living with Parkinson’s.

Though it may seem surprising, this non-contact boxing-inspired fitness routine is a dramatically improving the ability of people with Parkinson’s to live independent lives.

RSB was founded in 2006 by former Marion County (Indiana) prosecutor Scott C. Newman, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at age 40.
