Welcome Back, Students! 🎓💙

At PunchWorX, we’re proud to support student volunteers and interns as they learn, grow, and gain real-world experience in our Parkinson’s exercise community.

For students studying physical therapy, occupational therapy, exercise science, kinesiology, nursing and other healthcare fields, PunchWorX offers a meaningful opportunity to see how exercise is healthcare—and how movement, connection, and compassion can make a difference for people living with Parkinson’s.

Thank you to all of our student volunteers and interns for bringing your energy, passion, and fresh perspectives to PunchWorX. We’re excited to be part of your journey!

Best wishes as you kick off a new school year! 📚🎓 

We’re cheering you on!

The PunchWorX team had the opportunity to participate in the Falls Workshop put on by the Central Florida Speech & Hearing new balance center.
It was a free fall of fun with our friends from Lakeland Regional & Florida Southern PT departments.
Several of our boxers came & practiced getting on the floor and we practiced what to do before, during, and after a fall.
Thank you to everyone that came out & we are grateful to have been apart of this community outreach event.🥊

The 11:00 class is all heart ❤️

Living with Parkinson's disease is easier when you're surrounded by a supportive community. Through good exercise, consistency, and stimulating activities, participants strengthen both the body and the brain while improving flexibility and confidence. Great coaches, encouraging friends, and teamwork create an upbeat, likable environment filled with good music, positive energy, and intentional movement, making every session a wonderful opportunity to grow stronger together.🥊

Thank you OTA student, Yana, for helping us🥰
