Our history
When Blaine Vance was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2001, he felt helpless. At that time, the doctors didn't have any real therapies or alternatives on how to combat this terrible disease.
Upon hearing about Rock Steady Boxing's new type of Parkinson's therapy and exercise program in 2016, he traveled to Indiana and became a certified RSB coach and affiliate. Opening an RSB program in Mesa allowed Blaine, as well as others, to fight back against Parkinson's.
Blaine passed away in 2022, but his sister, Leeann Hansen, took up his legacy. With her husband, Tom, and daughter, Kristina, Leeann is working hard to keep Rock Steady Boxing Mesa open, productive and introducing the newest therapies.
