The Benefitness Adaptive Gym on the main campus of Benevilla is excited to announce their newest program for the community “Rock Steady Saturday.” Everyone is invited to join them on the 2nd Saturday of each month at 10:00am. You will learn boxing drills, techniques, and exercises proven to improve mobility, strength, stability, coordination, and more. It will be a circuit-based workout and all equipment is provided. All you need to bring is water and a towel. All levels are welcome and a Benefitness membership is not required to attend. The cost is just $20 per session and Benefitness members receive a 50% discount.
“The overall goal of Benefitness goes beyond just improving an individuals’ physical abilities to providing a safe and supportive environment where people with special considerations, and on-going clinical needs can work towards their nutrition and wellbeing goals as well as rebuild a healthy and active lifestyle,” said Director Lorrie Karn. “Our mission is to prove physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle is no longer out of reach for anyone.”
Benefitness is a proud affiliate of Rock Steady Boxing, a non-contact boxing inspired fitness platform proven to combat the effects of Parkinson’s Disease. Rock Steady Boxing uses the mechanics of boxing to focus on PD symptoms including balance, stiffness, tremors, coordination, and soft voice syndrome. The neurosensory stimulus from the exercises slows the progression of PD and quiets the day-to-day symptoms. This is accomplished through non-contact boxing, punching a heavy bag, doing footwork, stretching, resistance exercises and aerobic training. Benefitness also provides Beneboxing for those who do not have Parkinson’s Disease but wish to benefit from boxing-inspired workouts.
Benefitness is located at 16752 N. Greasewood Street, Surprise, AZ 85378. For more information about Rock Steady Saturdays, our adaptive gym membership programs or if would like to take a free tour of Benefitness, please call 623-584-0065 or visit www.benefitnessgym.org.
