Program details

Elevate Esteem training delivers structured boxing based fitness sessions designed specifically for people living with Parkinsons disease.

Sessions incorporate non contact boxing movements, coordination drills, balance exercises, functional strength work, and mobility training. Exercises are adaptable and can be modified for different mobility levels including seated and standing options.

Our approach prioritises trust and individual strengths. participants are encouraged to work at their own pace, with gradual progression introduced only when confidence and comfort are established.

1-1 sessions have been preferred by clients, but small group and home visits are added options.

Each class runs for 45-60 mins, contact the instructor for further details.
