Welcome to Rock Steady Boxing Huron County, a specialized fitness center located in Bad Axe, Michigan, with a singular and powerful mission: to empower people with Parkinson's disease to fight back. We are part of a global movement, providing a unique non-contact, boxing-based fitness curriculum that has been scientifically shown to help manage and even slow the progression of Parkinson's symptoms. This is not just a gym; it is a community of fighters, a place where individuals living with Parkinson's are met with hope, support, and the tools they need to live more independent and fulfilling lives.

The atmosphere is one of mutual respect and encouragement, where everyone is united by a shared goal. Our coaches are trained specifically in the Rock Steady Boxing methodology, providing a safe and effective environment for all participants. We believe in the power of this program to change lives, and we are proud to bring this effective form of therapy and support to the Michigan community.
