“The Phoenix’s mission is to build a sober active community that fuels resilience and harnesses the transformational power of connection so that together we rise, recover, and live.”

“The Phoenix (“Phoenix”) is a sober active community that provides free, active and engaging programming – such as rock climbing, CrossFit, yoga, dance classes and social events – to anyone in recovery from a substance use disorder or who chooses to live a sober lifestyle. Phoenix is not a replacement for treatment, nor is it simply a “sober gym.” Instead, Phoenix picks up where treatment services leave off by offering a welcoming, safe and supportive community to recover and heal, free to anyone with at least 48 hours of continuous sobriety. Recognizing the interpersonal trauma and social isolation are at the core of many people’s addiction, all programming is aimed at bringing individuals into a community that instills hope instead of fear and fosters personal growth without judgment. Phoenix instructors are peers who have lived experiences through their own recovery journey or personal connection to the mission, which promotes trust, hope and emotional safety.”
