About Us

At Recovery Fitness San Diego, we believe that true recovery is built not just in therapy rooms, but through movement, structure, and consistent support. We help individuals in recovery—and the treatment centers that serve them—bridge the gap between clinical care and long-term wellness using trauma-informed fitness, nutrition coaching, and community accountability.

Meet the Founder

Recovery Fitness Club was founded by someone who knows the recovery journey firsthand.

After overcoming a 15-year struggle with addiction, our founder set out to create a fitness-based recovery model rooted in compassion, structure, and evidence-based practices. Their personal experience—combined with professional training in trauma-informed care, personal training, and nutrition—shaped the foundation of a program designed to fill the gap between therapy and physical wellness.

During their own healing, movement became more than just exercise—it became a way to reconnect with the body, process emotion, and rebuild self-trust. That insight became the driving force behind Recovery Fitness Club’s mission: to support individuals and treatment centers with fitness programs that respect where clients are and help them move forward, one step at a time.

Today, the founder partners with clinicians, treatment directors, and sober living teams to integrate wellness into the recovery process. Whether leading group fitness at a center or mentoring clients one-on-one, they remain committed to creating safe, empowering spaces where healing through movement is not just possible—but sustainable.

At Recovery Fitness San Diego, we believe that true recovery is built not just in therapy rooms, but through movement, structure, and consistent support. We help individuals in recovery—and the treatment centers that serve them—bridge the gap between clinical care and long-term wellness using trauma-informed fitness, nutrition coaching, and community accountability.

Our Approach

At Recovery Fitness San Diego, our approach is rooted in clinical awareness, compassion, and results-driven structure. We use trauma-informed fitness to help individuals in recovery build strength, consistency, and body trust in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. Our programs are grounded in the same principles outlined in SAMHSA’s trauma-informed care guide, ensuring emotional safety, empowerment, and trust.

Each program is designed to align with the emotional and physical needs of people healing from substance use and co-occurring conditions. Whether you’re in early recovery, aftercare, or sober living, our team meets you where you are—with programming that evolves alongside your progress.

We incorporate a blend of:

  • Functional strength and mobility training

  • Nervous system regulation through guided movement

  • Accountability-focused coaching

  • Evidence-based nutrition support

  • Progress tracking and communication with clinical teams (for treatment centers)

By integrating structured fitness into the recovery process, we help participants reconnect with their bodies, regulate stress, and build lasting confidence—inside and out.

My trainer has been a game-changer, teaching me about nutrition and helping me develop a healthy relationship with food and consistent workout habits. Thanks to their guidance, I have more mental clarity and can do so much more without even realizing it.
