AN EVIDENCE-BASED FITNESS PROGRAM FOR ADDICTION RECOVERY
Created by Seth Browning
BLENDING FITNESS AND RECOVERY
For 13 years in fitness and nearly
16 years of continuous sobriety,
I’ve learned that physical
transformation and recovery from
addiction are deeply connected.
My mission is to help clients in
treatment rebuild the mind-body
connection, rediscover structure,
and experience the spiritual
healing that movement unlocks.
