PD Fight Club offers specialized boxing classes designed to combat Parkinson’s disease at its neurological core. Led by head coach Martin Juárez and assistant coach Dany Egli, our therapeutic fitness program builds strength, balance, reaction time, and overall conditioning — no boxing experience required.
Each class incorporates ring work, focus mitts, heavy bags, speed bags, double-end bags, jump rope, core work, calisthenics, and circuit weight training — a comprehensive approach to attacking Parkinson’s at its most vulnerable points.
Our boxers range in all ages. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or years into your journey, PD Fight Club meets you where you are. People of all ages and fitness levels are welcome.
Beyond the workout, PD Fight Club is a community — a place where members build strength, flexibility, and speed together while learning that Parkinson’s disease does not have the final word. As one of our boxers puts it: “At PD Fight Club, we learn with every session that there are ways people with Parkinson’s Disease can enhance their quality of life — and feel and function better.”
Join us and fight your way back.
No classes on weekends.
Martin has been a boxing instructor for for over 20 years. A retired professional boxer, he is a second generation boxer. He began his training at age 9 years San Diego, CA. He went on to compete in over 100 amateur matches and became a two-time Golden Gloves winner in California.
PD Fight Club proves that “movement is medicine” by slowing the effects of Parkinson’s Disease. I always leave feeling better than when I came. I love the camaraderie of our supportive PDFC family as we share our PD journeys. Martin encourages us to “Fight back!” and then helps us have fun while we do it.
I’ve been with the PD Fight Club since the first workout. The exercise and other therapies have slowed the progression of the disease and helped me stay active and engaged. Also, it’s a great support group for anyone suffering from Parkinson’s. Everyone fights together. I don’t know what I’d do without this group. PD Fight Club is such a blessing in my life.
I did not think boxing was for me until I walked into Juarez Boxing. The atmosphere is welcoming and the focus on agility has made a real difference in my daily life. It is more than just a workout because it is a community that understands what I face each day.
