Recovery Fitness

Health and wellness programs for those in recovery.

Recovery Fitness is a program designed especially for those in recovery. Together, we can enhance recovery with a total holistic approach of mind, body, emotion, and spirit.

Recovery Fitness about the next steps in recovery. Relapse prevention! It does not matter what you are recovering from. Drugs, alcohol, abusive relationships, eating disorders, addictions of any kind. We are here to help navigate the trouble waters of establishing a healthy you, your best version of you.

It has always been our belief that a healthy person requires 4 components. One must seek out to be fit mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. We offer services of fitness training, nutritional counseling, ministry, and fellowship/support. We also work with other service providers to offer services for mental and emotional support.
Often times we do this for NO COST! We ask for donations. If you can contribute, please do so, if not, please contact us anyway. The most important thing is that you have a place to continue on the road to recovery. When you can give, do so, and extend the hand of generosity to someone that will need your help.

We do not have a physical location at this time. Please reach out via phone or email for workout locations and meeting spots.

What our clients say

My Why. First and foremost I must get and stay the healthiest I can be for my son Max. Also I want this for me. I want to feel good about myself, inside and out, and become more comfortable and confident with ``me``. I have never liked the way I look and I need to learn how to do that.- Stephanie Miller

I just want to say thank you for inspiring me to reignite my passion for fitness. You asked me once, ``What's your why?`` I wasn't hasty to respond because I wanted to give you my heart's purest answer. Those who know me are aware that I work with others in the helping profession and I strive to provide services the way I would want a loved one in my own family to be provided for. I have realized, along with many others in my field of practice, it can be extremely easy to overlook our own wellness. I have learned that the first client I have to provide care for is myself, for I cannot be anything for them if I am not of sound mind, body, emotion, and spirit. I lost sight of that vital factor until I was welcomed into Recovery Fitness with open arms, without judgement. So to answer your question, ``What's my why?`` because I am worth it and so is anyone who wants to join us and learn the most important lesson, YOU ARE WORTH IT! I am proud to be your partner in Recovery Fitness, and look forward to the many journeys I have the honor of sharing with you Shawn Humphrey! You are truly the brother I never new I had, I love you!- Brandon B
