About Us
In Honor Of
Rock Steady Boxing Petaluma is dedicated to the Odetto Family, Carla, Shelby, and Chris, in honor of Matt Odetto, who was the reason our program was started. He was one of our original boxers who's shoes nobody could ever fill! Thank you Matt for leaving behind a gift of community and support to those diagnosed with Parkinson's.
Matthew Christopher Odetto

Fighting Back
Carla Odetto is a Studio Fit kickboxer who knew Rock Steady Boxing was the perfect fit for our facility and who wanted a place for her husband, Matt, to fight back against Parkinson's. Her dedication, determination, and persistence is what we all are thankful for at Rock Steady Petaluma. Thank you Carla for being who you are and believing Studio Fit was a perfect match for Rock Steady Boxing. It was truly our honor to be a part of Matt's fight.
