Q: When were you first diagnosed with Parkinson's?

A: I was first diagnosed with in 2020. We later found that I had inherited it from my grandfather. Although it has been tough at times, I always try to keep a positive outlook.

Q: What made you interested about Rock Steady Boxing?

A: When I first heard that LIFT would be offering Rock Steady Boxing, I was excited to learn more about the program. Learning that the program was specifically created for people living with Parkinson’s really made me excited to join a program and community that truly understood the struggles that are presented with every day.

Q: What are your favorite things about LIFT and Rock Steady Boxing?

A: For Rock Steady Boxing, the community aspect plays a really big part. Having such a fun group to grow with and build each other up is so special to me! Outside of Rock Steady, I love riding the stationary bike for 9 miles, as well as using the large variety of equipment.

Q: What advice would you give someone who is thinking about joining LIFT and Rock Steady Boxing?

A: Coming to a place where you know you will be greeted with a warm smile, where the facility is always clean and well maintained, and where everyone around you is helpful and excited to see you grow and get better, it’s worth it. 100%!

How many fruits and vegetables should I eat?


Diets rich in fruits and vegetables help reduce risk for numerous chronic health conditions that are leading causes of death, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates only about 1 in 10 adults eats enough fruits and vegetables.

Ideally, adults and children should aim for 2 servings of fruit per day, and 3 servings of non-starchy veggies. Instead of keeping measuring cups on hand, it may be easier to follow the USDA guidelines of filling half of your plate with fruits and veggies. Filling your plate like this allows you to get a variety of vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. Choosing a variety of colors as well as a variety of fruits and veggies can maximize these benefits.

If half your plate feels like too much, start with making sure to include a fruit or vegetable on the plate, and slowly work your way up from there. There are many ways to increase your fruit and vegetable intake while still enjoying your food.



·       Add in cooked onions, tomatoes, zucchini, or squash to tomato sauce for spaghetti, lasagna, or a baked ziti

·       Top your yogurt, oatmeal, or cereal with fresh or frozen berries

·       Add a ranch seasoning packet to plain greek yogurt or cottage cheese and eat it with fresh veggies

·       Add leftover veggies into an omelette or scrambled eggs

·       Add spinach or lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber, avocado to a sandwich

·       Making a recipe that already has some veggies in it? Add more of them!

·       Purposely make more than you’ll need for that meal so you can quickly use the leftovers the next day


If you are looking to include more fruits or veggies for your snacks, preparing them ahead of time or keeping them at eye level and at the front of the fridge or pantry can make sure they aren’t forgotten. Frozen and canned veggies make it easy to quickly add them on the side for dinner, but if you don’t like the texture sautéing fresh veggies can offer a different texture.

CrossFit LWC Member Spotlight

Olivia Hall


I joined CrossFit the first year it began at Lift. I would say I’ve “dabbled” in it for the past several years, but I’ve really stepped up my commitment to CrossFit these last 4 months. I’ve always been hesitant with the heavy lifts and movements that are more out of my comfort zone, but the coaches have been both patient and encouraging the whole way (let me remind you, 3 YEARS of patience with me). They’ve never given up on me. I’ve learned skills I never imagined doing such as pull-ups, double unders and rope climbs. More importantly I’ve learned to push myself while also listening to my body. CrossFit has built my confidence, introduced me to life-long friendships and taught me the importance of functional strength training for everyday life.
