Recovery Partnership Highlight


Fit To Recover would like to thank Turning Point Centers for their dedication and commitment to recovery. They have been a supporter of FTR since 2015. Their clients participate in nutrition and fitness at our campus. While at Turning Point, Ian developed the blueprint that eventually led to establishing Fit To Recover. He was encouraged and supported by staff. Ian credits Turning Point with saving his life.
