We give addicts and alcoholics a program of health, fitness, and wellness to compliment, enrich, and strengthen psychotherapy sessions, medically assisted treatments, 12-step programs, and sober living situations.
“A program of health, wellness & fitness saved my recovery”
Our Mission
Many clients in treatment for addiction are often missing a central component that other people afflicted with chronic disease are benefiting from: health, wellness, and fitness coaching.
The coaching network of Integrity Endurance is made of certified coaches and personal trainers who see purpose in helping those with addiction.
Together we seek to increase access to health and wellness, thus improving effectiveness and adherence to medication and therapy in the treatment of the disease known as addiction.
We seek to impact the overall health of addicts/alcoholics. But more specifically, we will be looking to gain data and study the impact of this program on opioid dependency treatment by using a measure of program adherence. It is hypothesized that an effective health and wellness program increases program adherence in the treatment of opioid dependency.
Who struggle daily to see clients relapse and drop out of therapy, some who never return.
Accept and work hard with clients throughout inpatient care and see them walk back out on the streets.
We are fighting hard, but still aren’t winning this fight…YET!
Integrity Endurance is a network of coaches and wellness professionals who have a heart to help impact the addiction crisis by doing what they do best: Coaching!
Clients in recovery are paired with one of our coaches who serves as their fitness and/or health and wellness coach. Clients and coaches are paired based on learning style, goals and personality to increase success. The coach has access to a world class training app and delivers mobile workouts to help get each client moving in the right direction.
This coach is not a recovery coach and is instructed to solely focus on fitness and/or health and wellness and these progress markers serve as positive reinforcement for the mind, body, and spirit of the recovering person.
The 4-phase model is developed and ran by Mark Turnipseed as a way to combine fitness with programs of recovery. A client can opt-in this program at any time after they are paired with a trainer.
The first phase we simply get moving with structured and individualized workout plans that help a client to get their blood flowing.
Third, an Integrity Endurance coach helps the client to construct a higher purpose to their goal. This can be in the form of setting up a charity for cancer research, diabetes, drug abuse, or to go back into Integrity Endurance. This part of the program propels and drives them towards a new relationship with health and fitness.
Second, as they experience the rewards to movement we help coach them towards a goal that is personally meaningful to them. Maybe it’s weightloss, maybe it’s a challenge to complete a 5k, 10k, or marathon or maybe it’s to climb all the 14,000 foot peaks in Colorado. Whatever it is we pair the client with a trainer who can help them get there.
Fourth an Integrity Endurance coach continues to work with the client on ways to help others learn how to use health and wellness in their recovery. If they want, they can even become trained in personal training or health and sober coaching and join the Integrity Endurance team!
“Integrity Endurance has been exactly what I was seeking, and much more. The workouts provide the challenges I need to help me achieve by strength goals, while the coaching from the staff pushes me to explore areas of wellness beyond just the physical.”
The 4-phase model of Integrity Endurance can be implemented with clients today with any practice or clinic helping addicts.

Feelings that come along, instigating depression, don't always need to be avoided. Sometimes, it's a good idea to lean into them and find out what your mind, body, and spirit is trying to say. Our emotions deserve to be heard and to be felt and to be respected. When they are, they can lead us to a brand new path of enlightenment that we otherwise miss out on.
Goals, both big and small ones can be used to drive us towards greatness. In this article I discuss the importance of both the biggest most extravagant goals and the smallest least significant ones and how they work together to help us reach the stars.

Implementing a lifestyle of fitness created additional demands on my life that actually ended up benefiting, rather than weighing me down. I honestly believe these types of lessons are possible for anyone, no matter what you face or what you have been through. With the right program, anything is possible!
The tag lines can bring me down. No matter how positive these tags may be, they are still labels and they box us in. They can lead to depression, anxiety and inner conflict. However, when I meditate on the purpose behind the tags and not the tag itself, my life becomes overflowing again.
If mindfulness has been difficult for you to grasp, here is a new conceptualization that helped me, an ADHD, OCD, Addict/Alcoholic find out how to personalize the most useful tool I have in my kit today.
Social media can be a very negative experience... But it doesn't have to. In fact, it can help you grow and blossom into that positive mindful person you imagine yourself being!
Asking for help doesn't come natural and in some cases, like mine, the reticence is woven in my make up and tied to a fear of intimacy resulting from past trauma. It takes practice to get out of this cycle. It takes working on humility.
Healthy eating is all about finding out how to navigate the overstimulating grocery stores. It’s no easy feat, so here I outline a few basic thoughts to get you started!
By comparing fitness to opioid addiction it becomes clear that instead of treating one addiction for another you can use one program to enhance the other. This is my experience and the essence of Integrity Endurance fitness program and outreach to opioid dependency patients.
