TIGARD, Ore. — The Rebel Fit Club is going strong and helping people fight Parkinson's Disease by boxing.
Studies show the activity helps with the symptoms of the disease.
Kimberly Berg started her program of boxing to help with Parkinson's several years ago.
Now there's a new headquarters for Berg's program.

The workouts are intense at the Rebel Fit Club.
Dozens of people throwing punches to help make their lives better.
