Hiya Nige, I've searched and can't find anything in the UK. I'm very keen but I'm up against the ropes so far .......

People speak very highly of it. It's "boxercise"; an exercise regime based on boxing, specifically for people with Parkinson's.

Trouble is it seems more popular in the States. Here in the UK finding an approved/registered provider outside of the big cities is very difficult.
