ABOUT

OUR MISSION

Combine fitness, science, and community to help people find freedom from alcohol & other habits and build their strongest body & mind.

Today, more than ever, we find ourselves stressed and disconnected from our core, resorting to harmful habits as a means to cope, distract, or disassociate from life. Proof? 1 in 5 Americans suffer from a mental health illness, and 1 in 10 Americans have Alcohol Use Disorder.

We believe that all people have the power to transform their lives.  Altum Fitness was created to erase the stigma around mental health/addiction while empowering our community to find presence and purpose in life.

Whether you are sober, soberish, or just looking to build healthier habits, we are committed to guiding you towards a life of profound health and deep connection—with yourself, your loved ones, and the environment that surrounds you.

Let's dive deep, work hard, have fun, and become #AltumStrong.

Join our Tribe. #LiveDeep
