Rock Steady Boxing Class
Monday September 14th
Roger Sherman Baldwin Park
100 Arch St Greenwich
Toni Mafes received her certification in Rock Steady Boxing for Parkinson’s disease back in 2017. She is the head coach of RSB at Belmars gym in White Plains NY.
In 2006, Toni fought in the NY Daily News Golden Gloves,
She worked with many athletes of all ages and abilities. I've coached cheerleading for ages 3- 21 years of age, done strength and conditioning for gymnasts and been teaching boxing /muay thai for the last 15 years.
"It has always been great to work with people on their personal fitness goals but Rock Steady Boxing offered an opportunity to work with people who were fighting for their lives.
"My Rock Steady Boxers are the hardest working people I have ever worked with."
Rock Steady is different from other boxing classes because we are catered to the needs of people with PD. Boxing itself offers great benefits (coordination, strength, fitness, bone density, stress management) Rock Steady adds vocalization, balance, fine motor, dexterity, cognitive functions- just to name a few.

Toni's Venmo for those who would like to pay for the class or bring cash. Suggested amount is at least $10 per class.
