Sarrisa Curry, NASM-CPT

Sarrisa Curry has served the Parkinsons Community in Overland Park, KS for 3 years. She has been blessed to see the miraculous and life-changing effects of vigorous exercise for people with PD. She brought Rock Steady Boxing to the area in 2016 and quickly grew a strong and committed following of fighters. However, over the years she"s realized it isn"t an all-inclusive form of exercise. People need more options and styles to meet the wide range of abilities in this special population. We have had good support from the medical community but felt we lacked the credibility needed to set ourselves apart from the several other Rock Steady affiliates that popped up in our neighborhood. We are fortunate to have several Movement Disorder Specialists in this area, LSVT Big and Loud are referred to many of their patients. We feel our place is to fill the not-yet-acknowledged gap from neurologist-skilled therapy-consistent vigorous exercise. We are pleased to speak to therapists on a closer level and provide their clients with a familiar form of exercise that is research-based and proven to be effective.

We now offer 30 classes a week to a dedicated population of nearly 200 people with PD. We have 5 different styles of exercise classes offered weekly including PWR!Moves, Rock Steady Boxing, Theater-based Classes, Dance, Mat Pilates, and yoga/stretch classes.

we presently offer 4 PWR!Moves classes a week amongst several other forms of PD exercise
