Our Vision
Our vision is to Energetically Empower, Encourage, Elevate and Educate all those with Parkinson's that we have the privilege to serve. We are transforming lives with results-driven programs open to all people with Parkinson’s disease—no matter their fitness level, disease stage, or finances. Nearly 75% of participants stay in our program for over two years, seeing real gains in strength, mobility, and independence as seen in our annual assessments. Our athletes defy expectations, slow the progression of PD, and thrive every step of the way.​​​​​​
Our Story
We started in June 2017 as a non-contact boxing program for people with Parkinson’s, called Rock Steady Boxing. There are over 900 gyms that offer Rock Steady Boxing around the world but we were the first in Snohomish County. This program was created and is adaptable for people with various stages of Parkinson’s and of all fitness abilities.
​
In 2020, we registered with the State of Washington Corporations division and the State of Washington Charities Division and the Internal Revenue Service. Parkinson's Wellness Place is a tax exempt organization of Code Section 501 c (3) of the Internal Revenue Service.
​
Today we have expanded our offerings to establish a wellness place for People with Parkinson’s. Currently we offer 12 Rock Steady Boxing Classes,2 Parkinson’s Wellness Recovery (PWR!) Moves, 1 Yoga class a week and one-on-one personal training at our main facility in Snohomish and arrange periodic Educational Sessions, Day Camps and social outings for all our participants.
We have four certified Rock Steady coaches, three certified PWR! instructors, one physical therapist, one massage therapist and a handful of awesome volunteers as well to help us create an awesome and safe workout environment.
