Kickboxing For Parkinson’s at Memorial Fitness Centers

Memorial Fitness Centers are now offering free kickboxing classes to patients with Parkinson’s Disease.

The 45-minute classes are free and open to patients and caregivers, thanks to grants from the National Parkinson’s Foundation and The Retirement Research Foundation.

Instructor Jeri Beaucaire said the classes are designed to increase the levels of dopamine and serotonin hormones in the brain, which helps patients with their balance and coordination.
