Jeremy Plummer Returns Home to “Smash the Stigma” of Addiction

RECOVERY HAS MUSCLES AND FLEXIBILITY –

Sept. 21, 2021- His story: 10 years ago, Plummer attended his first CrossFit class. It was something he and his sister – a nurse Morning Chalk Up met in 2020 when she was working to prove that fitness is an effective tool for sobriety – tried to get him out of the addiction rut. But, Plummer said, he was an active addict at the time. CrossFit “didn’t take.”

Six months into his sobriety, Plummer made his way back to the sport. He found a home at CrossFit Dimensions in Florida, where he says the “community rallied around” him; the owner of that gym elected to pay for his L1 certification. Now, Plummer works at FTX Wellness in Florida, where he created Recovery through Repetition. The organization is on a mission to “connect those in the recovery community through a shared passion for fitness, fellowship, and service.” They offer donation-based yoga and fitness classes to anyone while creating a “safe, supportive environment for those affected by addiction.”
