As an ex-athlete, teacher, and coach working toward optimal health and fitness, keeping fit had always been an important part of my daily routine. As a coach, I tried to be a positive role model by being physically fit. However, with the onset of my movement disorder, Parkinson’s Disease, I became much slower, rigid, and in pain most of the time.

​

When I joined Baxter Fitness, I found a very positive and supportive atmosphere. Now, I am the student as I learn various techniques in dealing with the effects of Parkinson’s Disease. I have been boxing with the owner, Damon Ramshaw, since 2018. Even though my gait is slow, I find my speed, coordination, agility and balance are increased during this workout. I leave feeling less pain and with a much greater sense of well-being.

I highly recommend Medford’s Baxter Fitness due to the expert knowledge and care provided by Damon Ramshaw and his staff.
