Fitness Recovery Coaching
WHERE PHYSICAL FITNESS MEETS LONG-TERM RECOVERY
Those struggling to recover from addiction are also battling mind and bodies that have turned against them, forever longing for that artificial high.
The search for those missing endorphins is what makes the recovery process an epic battle between the user and their old habit. Everyday stresses will only serve to intensify cravings. Exercise also releases endorphins, acting as a natural high. Studies have shown that the brain's release of the peptide Galanin during physical activity can actually reduce certain stress-related cravings and diminish drug seeking.
In other words, consistent workouts can help you cope with just about anything. That's where Fitness Recovery Coaching comes in.
SYNCHRONIZING MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT
What we think and feel affects how we behave, and ultimately determines our physical wellness. Feeling low often leads to bad decisions; giving in to cravings we'd be better off resisting. The opposite is also true. When we feel good and physically fit, we tend to think more positively.
Fitness Recovery Coaching thus presents an exciting new path to recovery.
It employs tailored fitness regimens in a larger athletic framework that also looks inward, understanding that being comfortable in one’s skin is key to building the kind of self-esteem that sober clients need to move forward.
Our program leverages this mind-body connection to foster both physical and psychological healing. Our certified personal trainers understand that regular exercise can effectively open you up to the all-important emotional dimension of recovery. So, it's never just about offering exciting nutrition or targeted exercise regimens. Instead, we believe integrating a more spiritual practice into workouts is key to securing the foundation upon which a more solid sober life can be built. As clients begin to open up, personal trainers can act on their needs, understanding that any progress made toward mental healing will allow them to keep pace with the physical demands of recovery as well.
In this way, our fitness recovery coaches can continue to help guide loved ones to a place of acceptance, growth and serenity in body and mind alike.
