5. Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rock Steady Boxing (RSB)?
Rock Steady Boxing is a one-of-a-kind, Indianapolis-based gym founded in 2006 to
provide a uniquely effective form of physical exercise to people who are living with
Parkinsons. Though it may seem surprising, this non-contact, boxing-inspired fitness
routine is proving to dramatically improve the ability of people with Parkinsons to live
independent lives. Rock Steady Boxing and the information supporting this program is
not intended or implied to be a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment of
Parkinsons Disease. All content, including text, graphics, images and information, on
Rock Steady Boxing is for general informational purposes only. You are encouraged to
discuss any information found on this website with your physician.
Who started RSB?
The foundational roots for what would eventually become Rock Steady Boxing began
with a friendship between two Indianapolis friends. During his second term as the
elected county prosecutor for Marion County (Indianapolis), Scott C. Newman was
diagnosed with early onset Parkinsons at the age of 40. A friend and former Golden
Gloves boxer began one-on-one boxing training together. Through private donations and
the use of a portion of a corporate gym, RSB began offering boxing training program to
anyone with Parkinsons. In 2011, RSB was able to open an independent gym through
an Impact 100 Greater Indianapolis grant and a partnership with a locally owned fitness
facility.

6. Frequently Asked Questions
Why boxing training instead of more traditional exercises, such
as physical therapy or exercise classes at a fitness center?
Various studies in the 1980s and 1990s support that rigorous
exercise, emphasizing gross motor movement, balance, core
strength, rhythm, and hand-eye coordination can favorably
impact range of motion, flexibility, posture, gait, and activities of
daily living. More recent studies, most notably at Cleveland
Clinic, focus on the concept of intense forced exercise, and
suggest that certain types of exercise are neuro-protective,
which means that it is a type of exercise that may actually slow
disease progression.
The boxing regime at Rock Steady provides a framework which
fits the mold for neuro-protection. Boxing requires a
combination of endurance, strength, power, speed, agility,
flexibility, durability, hand-eye coordination and the ability to
react appropriately to strategic situations. Boxing improves
balance and stability by forcing movements in all planes of
motion. The rapid movements involved in jumping and punching
increases over-all muscle fire ability. In addition, Rock Steady
has learned methods to combat specific symptoms through
other Parkinsons exercise organizations (like Delay the
Disease) to mix into our core boxing curriculum.

8. Frequently Asked Questions

Steady Boxers are actually allowed to participate in the classes providing their first

9. Typical RSB Class Layout
CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:
Class placement is based on both objective and subjective data collected by Rock Steady
Coaches during the initial assessment, and Coaches reserve the right to place new participants
in the class they determined is most appropriate for that individual. The following descriptions
are a general guide only and not to be used to pre-qualify for class placement.
We are learning everyday that there are ways in which people with Parkinsons disease can enhance
their daily quality of life and even build impressive power, strength, flexibility and speed! By exercising
with Coaches who know the ropes, you can fight your way out of the corner and start to feel and
function better.
Boxing works by moving your body in all planes of motion while continuously changing the routine as
you progress through the workout. These classes have proven that anyone, at any level of Parkinsons,
can actually lessen their symptoms and lead a healthier/happier life.
1. Training Will Last 1 hour. We will allow 20 minutes at the beginning of class for proper
stretching and warm up exercises encouraging balance and flexibility
2. Core Boxing Influenced Conditioning will be done for at least 30 minutes in the class (Push-
ups, Sit-ups, Jump Roping, Running, Stretching)
3. The end of the workouts are geared to have a cool down and stretching influence. That is
helpful and FUN!
