The Barbell Saves Project

A Phoenix nonprofit providing community and social services for people in recovery. Free community classes combine movement with trauma-informed coaching and peer support, with strength, yoga, and movement therapy formats. Classes are open to the public, with 48 hours of sobriety required. Peer support and recovery housing services are also available to people with accepted insurance and a clinical referral from a partnering provider. The organization operates gender-specific and co-ed sober-living homes with daily on-site peer support, gym access, life skills, and employment support. It also brings fitness and peer support programming to treatment centers, correctional facilities, employers, and other organizations, on-site or at its facility. Public events and community partnerships are part of its recovery programming.
