What we are looking for:
Rock It Out Inc is a non-profit (formerly known as Rock Steady Boxing Cleveland) dedicated to helping those with Parkinson's Disease combat their symptoms. We are in need of volunteer coaches and people interested in helping with fundraising, communications, etc. Our coaches are energetic, attentive, and committed to helping our boxers throughout their weekly classes and into their daily lives.
If you or someone you know has experience in leading fitness classes or is interested in assisting our boxers throughout our classes, we would love to speak with you. We offer different levels of classes for our boxers over ~15 classes throughout the week. Assistance with set-up/ tear down, cleaning, leading & instructing, and assisting are all welcome. Our boxers are highly motivated by our coaches and their inspiring attitudes to help them get through their workouts and work on diminishing the presence of their symptoms to live a more empowering lifestyle.
