Parkinson’s Fitness & Boxing
Individualized exercise programs designed to improve strength, balance, mobility, and confidence for individuals living with Parkinson's disease.
At McKenna Fitness, I provide individualized one-on-one exercise sessions that combine boxing-inspired training with strength, balance, flexibility, and cardiovascular exercise to help you move with greater confidence and independence.

Exercise is one of the most effective non-pharmacological interventions for individuals living with Parkinson's disease. Research suggests that consistent exercise may help improve:
Balance and stability
Walking and mobility
Strength and endurance
Coordination and reaction time
Flexibility and posture
Confidence with everyday activities
Every program is tailored to your individual needs, abilities, and goals.

Every exercise can be modified based on your current abilities.
