What is Parkinson's?

Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder that affects movement, causing symptoms like tremors, stiffness, slowness, and balance issues due to the brain's decreased production of dopamine. Nearly 1 million people in the U.S. are living with Parkinson’s disease.

“Eric, is great. He is a great boxer and a great trainer. He gives individual training one on one while keeping others in the class busy with strength training routines that he has set them up with. The gym is well equipped, neat and clean. It is a great program for those with Parkinson Disease, whether you're new to the condition or have been dealing with it for years. He takes each individual to his own level of capability, young or old, male or female. I fully recommend this approach to Parkinson. I hope to continue my approach with NUBOXX as long as possible.”
