Our Certified Rock Steady Boxing Coaches, PWR!Moves instructors, Parkinson’s Exercise Class Coaches and Personal Trainers .
Gary Withall: Head Coach of Rock Steady Boxing Johnson County.
I specialize in large amplitude exercise and functional training for people with PD. I have been leading the Rock Steady Boxing Johnson County Parkinson’s Exercise and Wellness program since its creation in 2016. I became certified to teach LSVT BIG PWR!Moves in 2017. Alongside our excellent Rock Steady Boxing program I also love to work with young adults with chromosomal abnormalities for example – Down Syndrome. Some of my biggest successes have been working with clients recovering from Traumatic Brain Injury. Call for references!
I have over 40 years of coaching experience in boxing, kick boxing and Muay Thai ‘Thai Boxing ‘ and certified in LSVT BIG PWR!Moves. I have been a certified Rock Steady Boxing Head Coach from the very first days that RSB came to Kansas. Before moving to the USA I was a healthcare and mental health worker spending many years working with vulnerable children and adults in secure settings.
I have a diverse sporting background, including Football (soccer), amateur boxing, professional Thai Boxing and Judo to name a few. I was also the UK Thai Boxing national champion. Using these skills learned over many years I coached thousands of boxers and kick boxers of all levels. I would consider myself as high skilled in regards to technical striking and boxing footwork – knowledge which is vital when fighting a disease such as Parkinson’s. As a coach and trainer the best advice I can give to anyone considering a therapy boxing / Rock Steady / physical fitness training program is to do your research!
Come and talk to us first or last- you’ll be glad that you did!

Flex and Bell
We will be here to meet you and say hello! I’m Flex – the black and white boxer. The big boy in town. My little sis ‘Bell’ is the pure white one. She’s a boxer too – just smaller than me. I like chasing balls whilst Bell likes to hang out on the chair at the reception desk and watch the world go by. We are looking forward to saying “hello”
update: sadly Flex is no longer with us. Bell is now busy holding the fort. Bell is extremely friendly and will often come up and say hello. It’s worth mentioning that Bell is also completely deaf, and unlike her big brother is not into chasing balls or playing tug, You’ll still find Bell sleeping at the desk or in the sunshine by the window,
