Participant feedback:
 “Dakota is a ball of energy. Enthusiastic, praises us. Encourages us and I enjoy the classes”

 “II love Dakota, she is ball of sunshine and energy. She is already adapting the needs of people with
Parkinson's. Who wouldn’t be inspired by her attitude.”

 “Due to balance issues am able to sit down yet still able to take part, exercises are adapted.”

 “I absolutely love coming to the class. The motivation from everyone — especially from Zita — really keeps
me going. She’s fantastic! I like how structured the class is; it makes it easy to follow and I always know what
to expect.”

 “Since I started, I feel more confident and stronger. The exercises have helped me so much with my balance and coordination. I also go to the gym, but this class gives me something different — it’s supportive, social,
and really keeps me motivated.”

 “If I could change anything, I’d love to have more classes like this during the week. It’s made such a big
difference in my life — physically and mentally.”

 “I exercise every day and I have found Boxercise to be the most beneficial exercise for me. It’s challenging
and at the end of the class I feel I’ve had a really good workout. It may leave me somewhat physically tired
but mentally I feel very energised.”

 “Dakota is an excellent instructor encouraging and pushing each of us to achieve our personal best while at
the same time making the class fun and enjoyable.”
