Boxing Coach & PD Spinning Coach

• Mar 2015 - Present

I get to coach indoor cycling to a great group of people living with Parkinson’s. I have added a little twist to a basic PD Spinning class by incorporating some rhythm, singing, socialization, brain exercises and fun! Together we have turned a basic PD Cycling class into what we call InMotion PD Spinning.Our InMotion Boxing class is a combination of Rock Steady Boxing techniques but also the input from our boxers on what works for them. We want them to know it’s their space and they own their workout. The boxers support each other by helping with putting on gloves to words of encouragement. Like all of InMotion’s classes It’s a community like no other! Show less

I believe everyone deserves a chance to show what they CAN DO and that is why I started this program. I hear quite often that “He/she or I/You can't do that because...” and I'm out to change that mindset because a label of disability can hide so many abilities!!!
