Nothing we could say about the program means as much as what our members say. Every word below comes from a real Boxing for Balance member — people living with Parkinson's, and seniors who wanted to stay strong and independent.
I have been boxing with Coach Dean ever since COVID-19. Coach Dean and his program have made a huge difference in my life. I have had Parkinson's for 10 years, and through exercise, I have remained between levels 1 and 2. My balance has greatly improved through boxing. I love all the helpful advice Coach Dean gives us, and I often pass it along to my friends. I also love being able to box at my convenience and usually participate three times a week.
Coach Dean's in-person boxing program has been wonderful for me. He is extremely knowledgeable about Parkinson's and understands how to work with people at every level. He is patient, encouraging, and always willing to modify an exercise when needed. Since joining, I feel stronger, more confident, and steadier on my feet. The classes are challenging, supportive, and something I genuinely look forward to each week.
I was nervous when I first started boxing, but Coach Dean immediately made me feel comfortable and capable. He takes the time to understand each person's abilities and knows how to challenge us without making anyone feel left behind. His patience, knowledge, and positive attitude make the in-person classes enjoyable for people at all stages of Parkinson's. I have noticed improvements in my strength, balance, coordination, and confidence — and I love the sense of community in the program.
If you are looking for a coach who's knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly cares about his Parkinson clients and quality of life, Dean is your guy. He's not just a coach, he's an inspiration. Thank you, Dean, for everything you do!
Online boxing classes with Coach Dean have been packed with varied exercises and motivating leadership. I'm a Parkinson's client, so I especially appreciate Dean's knowledge about exercise for dealing with my condition. But his skills and outlook are top rate for the general practice of exercise as well.
Amazing equipment, environment, instructors and program. Positivity is the impetus to success! Highly recommend!!!
I've been training with Coach Dean for 5 years. After 10 years of living with Parkinson's, boxing has helped me stay active, improve my balance, and better manage my symptoms. I love being able to work out from home on my own schedule, and I usually box about 3 times a week.
My neurologist said I improved since starting the boxing. I now have control back over my Parkinson's.
I feel stronger, more stable, and more confident in my everyday activities than I did before starting the program. Boxing for Balance has become an important part of helping me stay active and independent.
