Rock Steady Boxing

RSB is a first-of-it's-kind, Indianapolis-based nonprofit 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 dramatically improving the ability of people with Parkinson's to live independent lives. RSB was founded by former Marion County (Indiana) prosecutor Scott C. Newman, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's at age 40.

No boxing experience necessary and people of all ages are invited to participate. Boxers, both male and female, walking independently or not, range in age from mid-50s to early 90s.
