CrossFit Morgantown Recovery
Using Functional Fitness In Recovery
We offer a free program for community members who have suffered from substance use disorder and now choose to live a sober life. The program is open to all in recovery and includes a group workout as well as an opportunity to share hardships, celebrate triumphs, and inspire others in our community still suffering.
The goal is to provide a safe space for those on the path of recovery to live an active sober life, foster human connections, and be a place for all to find community.
We try to remove financial barriers that may prohibit individuals from getting involved, which is why this program is offered for free. This year we will be putting all funds raised through the 2020 Burden Games to the CrossFit Morgantown Recovery program. These funds will help to support the program, equipment, staff, and additional resources such as member scholarships.
