"We knew that there was some benefit to offering crossfit classes to this specific population. The research and the data suggests that high intensity exercise and team exercise has great benefit on the brain and healing.

and locally there is a tremendous amount of stigma... there's a lot of ignorance & lack of understanding about the fact that this is a health issue that requires a health care response, its not a moral failing that requires some kind of moral punishment. 

What this partnership's done is it's allowed us to take folks going through treatment and integrate them into the community. 

These guys are down there working out at the gym next to your boss, and that's really cool. These are people that otherwise wouldn't have a glimpse into that world and get to know these folks and you realize, well... that guy could be my brother...or she could be mom... he's not going to steal my purse. He's not a bad guy and he's not morally weak, actually, he's tougher than hell because he just beat me in that workout kind of thing... its the great equalizer. The iron doesn't care.

...I just have never been a part of anything like that...

...I have a very special front row seat to the amount of love and compassion that's going into fighting this issue."
