The Phoenix - Boston

"Great vibes. Diverse. Honestly too good to be true. Scott Strode, the founder, is a legend. Thank you Scott and the volunteers~"

"Excellent. Purpose driven. Local community, recovery, fitness location. Really well maintained and like new. I drop in boxes all over and was really impressed but first time I’ve felt really touched and motivated by the purpose of the gym."

"Very nice CrossFit training gym with lots of barbell weights and dumbbells. There’s also rock climbing and bouldering and even Ju Jitsu training on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The gym is very clean and top notch! Highly recommend going here and best part is that it’s free!"

"A clean, relaxed, and wonderful location. I went there to climb, but got to see so much activity; bjj, boxing, adaptive fitness, and more. The mission of the gym is also amazing--giving people a sense of community to overcome personal or social pressure towards vices. I definitely am looking forward to returning!"

"I personally am in recovery and am thankful to have found The Phoenix at the beginning of my journey to sobriety over two years ago. It has allowed me to find strength and hope with my recovery, associating PR's and fitness achievements with my sobriety milestones. Not only that, there is a strong, supportive community that gives me the opportunity to thrive in recovery, not just survive. It is a blessing to now be working for The Phoenix and connecting others in need to this community. The Phoenix is a nonprofit organization that fosters a sober active community for individuals recovering from a substance use disorder and those who choose to live sober. Through activities such as indoor/outdoor rock climbing, CrossFit, yoga, running, hiking and boxing, we seek to help individuals maintain the emotional strength they need to stay sober. By leveraging physical activity and social connection, our participants are able to build confidence and find the support they need to live productive and fulfilling lives in recovery. Phoenix events are FREE to anyone with at least 48 hours of continuous sobriety and all of our instructors are in recovery themselves. With this peer-to-peer model and a culture that is welcoming, safe and supportive, Phoenix is helping individuals rise from the ashes of addiction and pursue lives full of hope."
