The NY Fitness and Boxing gym in East Northport has a special new class – a Zoom boxing class for those with special needs.

Eddie Rivera has owned NY Fitness and Boxing since 2014, but this is the first summer he's teaching the class.

Rivera says a lot of the kids have issues they deal with, and boxing allows them to get back into the game.

Rivera says he was thinking of this class for a couple of years, but it was his daughter who gave him the idea.

Since the pandemic has left kids without many options for activity this summer, parents say the class couldn't have come at a better time.
