Box Fit for Parkinson's

Please join us for a friendly, non-contact boxing session in our ground floor exercise studio located within Tandridge Leisure Centre.

The session is specifically for those with Parkinson’s or Parkinson’s like symptoms, and their carers. We practice using gait and balance exercises to improve ambulation in people with Parkinson's.

We use pads, gloves and boxing bags for a fun fitness session with music catered to everyone’s needs. For regular attendees, we will provide a pair of gloves just for you to use each week.

The session involves a warm up, box fit exercises to get the heart rate up, balance and strengthening, as well as stretching exercises.

Please wear trainers or comfortable non slip shoes and bring a bottle of water. However, we can provide water as our cafe is adjacent to the studio. We will also ensure there are chairs available to allow for rest periods.

  • We meet in our cafe after the session for tea and coffee, offered at a discounted rate.
  • Sessions cost £2 and are on Thursdays weekly from 10.45am until 11.30am.
  • The sessions are run by Freedom Leisure and delivered by an experienced boxing instructor and assistant.
  • Partners and carers are welcome to join the sessions too.  

Please contact [email protected] for a car park pass. There is ample car parking on site. Cafe and toilets on site. The venue is also situated just 2 minutes away from Oxted Train Station.
