What is Rock Steady Boxing SF?

Rock Steady Boxing (RSB), the first and only boxing program of its kind in the country, was founded in Indianapolis in 2006 by former Marion County Prosecutor, Scott C. Newman, who is living with Parkinson’s. RSB gives people with Parkinson’s disease hope by improving their quality of life through a non-contact boxing based fitness curriculum.

Since 2006 RSB has grown to over 800 affiliates in the US and internationally.

RSB San Francisco was the first Northern California affiliate and started classes in June 2014!

We offer in-person, gym classes at HitFit SF, 1150 Sutter St., San Francisco, CA along with virtual Zoom classes six days a week.  Email us to schedule your assessment today!
