Cost of staying healthy

I just read an article giving the results of a research study comparing PWPs who exercise and PWPs who box for exercise. This is non-contact, intense boxing training from a program in Indianapolis called Rock Steady Boxing. The Boxers showed significantly better mobility and gait. This is a wonderful program that I have seen several times. And they even have trainings for instructors and they have affiliates in 24 cities across the nation. But although they say they are a non-profit, their training costs $700 and there is an annual affiliate fee of $500. Add this to the cost of a specialized gym unless a boxing gym owner has a very large heart and you may have picked many PWPs right out of this market. I am going to investigate how these affiliates fund their programs. Stay tuned!
