In 2016 Andrew went to Indianapolis to get certified in Rocksteady Boxing (a program developed for those living with Parkinson’s). Becoming one of two of the first coaches to complete the program and bring it to Canada.
The force intense exercise that boxing requires, is the main ingredient in the fight against Parkinson’s and slowing progression of the disease. This combined with proven exercises and advanced methods that Andrew uses, to help Parkinson’s fighters live a better quality of life. These methods and exercise plans, have been pieced together from the knowledge and experience Andrew has gained over the years conducting classes, and in-home training.
This in-home training (I come to you), also includes a mandatory assessment/tests to determine the level of Parkinson’s along with a letter you must provide, confirming a diagnosis of Parkinson’s.
Also on line training, I hour, (using zoom), is another option for those interested.
