Rock Steady Boxing is a great exercise program specifically designed for people with Parkinson's disease. Based on the search results, some members have found it beneficial for managing their symptoms and connecting with others on the same journey.

Exercise programs like boxing can be valuable for managing Parkinson's symptoms, but it's important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise routine to ensure it's appropriate for your specific situation. While specific locations in Chicago suburbs aren't mentioned in the search results, you can explore PD Warrior's online gym which offers both group and private coaching sessions with experienced coaches who specialize in Parkinson's-specific exercises. This could be a good option while you search for local in-person programs.

Hi Marylynn, my name is Wayne. The Movement-Revolution organization has a network of sites around the Chicago suburbs that offer Neuro focused exercise programs including Rock Steady Boxing at their sites. I started with an initial consultation and some training sessions at the Glen Ellyn site and added the RSB program at their Elgin site which is closer to me in Bartlett. I was diagnosed about a year and a half ago and the boxing/exercise class is working great for me at this point in my journey. I suggest that you look over their website and give them a call. The site is www.movement-revolution.com. I can give you some names and phone numbers if you would like.

Marylynn I would love to help but I don't even know where Chicago is ! You are more than welcome to any of the group's I attend. I know it's an awful long way but if you happened to have a private jet able to tackle Trans Atlantic flights I'm friendly with the guy who owns the small airport over the back of us. Give it some thought. 😎
