The Phoenix is a Denver-based nonprofit organization (501(c)(3)) that builds a sober, supportive community through structured physical activity. It serves individuals recovering from substance use disorder and those who choose to live sober, offering a wide range of fitness and wellness activities such as CrossFit, climbing, hiking, boxing, running, yoga, cycling, and strength training. Through a combination of physical, social, and educational programs, participants develop confidence, self-respect, and a sense of belonging, with access to free programming for anyone with 48 hours of sobriety supported by fundraising and revenue-generating ventures. Operating in the nonprofit sector, The Phoenix uses fitness-based engagement to support recovery and long-term sobriety. The organization has extended its reach through its Phoenix App and related initiatives, including national programs and regional expansions in past years, and a notable recent development is a February 2026 partnership with Passenger Recovery to collaborate on recovery-focused events such as Motor City Recovery Night.
