Wise Owl Fit

We're honored to be featured in Times of San Diego! 🥊🦉

Since June, Wise Owl Fit has been the first gym in East County to offer Rock Steady Boxing, a noncontact boxing program built specifically for people fighting Parkinson's. Coach Danielle Barrett started boxing while caring for her mom through Parkinson's, and now she's giving back to that community every week.

As Danielle put it, local neurologists know about this program. "They just don't know that we're here."

Help us change that. If you know someone living with Parkinson's, please share this post with them.

🎉 WE’RE ON 10NEWS SAN DIEGO! 🎉

We’re incredibly proud to share that Wise Owl Fit was recently featured by 10NEWS San Diego in a story about the new County investment in East County small businesses.

Karl Burris, owner of Wise Owl Fit, shared why supporting local businesses matters—and how Wise Owl Fit is helping older adults throughout our community get stronger, stay active, and maintain their independence.

At Wise Owl Fit, we’re on a mission to help older adults get stronger, move better, stay independent, and keep doing the things they love.

And this year, we became East County’s first Rock Steady Boxing affiliate, bringing a specialized program to our community for people living with Parkinson’s.

That means more opportunities for people in East County to get active, build strength, gain confidence, and connect with others.

But you don't have to be an athlete to get started.

If you're an older adult—or you're looking for a safe, supportive place for a parent, spouse, or loved one to exercise—we'd love to introduce you to Wise Owl Fit.

💪 Want to see what we're all about?

DM us “STRONG” and we'll send you the information on how to get started.

No pressure. Just come meet us, see the gym, and find out whether we're a good fit for you.

If you or someone you love is living with Parkinson’s, there’s something we want you to know:

Exercise matters. A lot.

Research continues to show that regular, appropriately challenging exercise can help people with Parkinson’s maintain strength, mobility, balance, and independence — while supporting quality of life.

At Wise Owl Fit, our Rock Steady Boxing classes are designed to help you train with purpose, build confidence, and keep doing the things you love.

Because Parkinson’s may be part of your story — but it doesn't have to define how you move through life.

Move with Strength. Age with Resilience. 🦉💪
