The Downtown Gym, located on Fair Street, is hosting a Box-A-Thon and information session on Saturday, Oct. 21, from 9 a.m. to noon. Rock Steady Boxing utilizes a non-contact, boxing-based fitness curriculum developed in 2006 in Indiana by Scott Newman, who was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's. That's what brought Michael Rollins, of Gilford, to the gym shortly after Rock Steady Boxing was offered in Laconia. He has found the Rock Steady program to be beneficial to his life as well as his health. I feel blessed, because the only affiliated Rock Steady that we have in New Hampshire happens to be in Laconia."
