Rock Steady Boxing

Thanks to donors to the Warm Hearth Foundation, the Rock Steady Boxing program grew in 2019, as the Warm Hearth Village Fitness Center added additional classes and a new Parkinson’s Support Group to its regular schedule. Residents and class members from the community led an initiative in the spring of 2019 to help fund the program’s expansion. The funds raised were used to send Fitness Director, Kenny Harrah to Phoenix, AZ for the second annual Rock Steady Coaches Conference. This advanced, “Level 2” training for active, certified Rock Steady Boxing coaches offered more in-depth training and the chance to connect with hundreds of coaches from around the world to share their expertise and experience.

In 2018, Warm Hearth Village became the first senior living community in Virginia to offer Rock Steady Boxing, a unique exercise program designed to help those living with Parkinson’s disease.
