I have reopened Parkies Punch Back and Virginia Trainer - in my backyard!
Classes are limited to two people. Each person has all the equipment needed for the workout laid out for them - on an Adirondack chair.
Everything is thoroughly wiped or sprayed with disinfectant after the workout.

I am also continuing with the following:

Please note that some of the equipment listed here is presently not available during this time. I can take many of these items from my garage to the backyard for a class, but things like the speed bag and focus mitts (given the close proximity for that activity) can not be done.
Parkies Punch Back offers fitness classes for people with Parkinson's disease. Classes include stretching, strength training, balance work, activities that challenge hand and eye coordination, neurobic exercises and non-contact boxing.
The boxing element of the class is at least 25 minutes, it includes speed bag, heavy bag, and focus mitts work.
Other equipment used in classes might include dumbbells, sandbells, battle ropes, kettlebells, body bars, BOSU, various sized stability/exercise & medicine balls, resistance cords & bands, TRX suspension & rip trainers.
Individual Sessions
Interested in taking a class while visiting San Jose?
If you are already involved in a boxing for Parkinson's program elsewhere and you want to continue your workouts while away, please send me an email and let me know which day of the week you'd like to join a class. If you are not involved in a boxing program, but are curious to try out a class, you still can participate after an assessment. The assessment, on most days, can be done 45 minutes before a scheduled class.
Boxing Circuit Classes (Now on Zoom. Boxing gloves often used, but not required - 1lb weights will do.)
$10 per class.
These classes are not Parkinson's specific. If you have PD you may be able to participate - contact me if interested.
Monday & Wednesday 6:30-7:10pm
Saturday 9:00-9:40am
One-on-one sessions available for anyone with Parkinson's. Whether you want a few solo sessions before joining in on group classes, prefer one-on-one workouts, or you don't have time for an hour-long class and need the workouts to be shorter in duration, I'm available! Please contact me for further information or if you'd like to schedule an assessment.
