Addiction doesn't just take your time.

It takes your body. Your confidence and your sense of self.

You stayed clean/sober, work recovery, give back all that you can.

But you're standing there looking in the mirror thinking... "that doesn't align with all the hard work I have done in recovery."

The women in these results weren't handed anything. They showed up exhausted, overwhelmed, juggling recovery, cravings, family, work, and they chose themselves anyway.

And that choice changed everything.

Not just their bodies but their confidence, their discipline, their identity, the way they walk into a room.

Because here's what fitness does for women in recovery that nothing else does:
💪 It rebuilds the relationship with your body after years of treating it like the enemy.
💪 It regulates dopamine naturally, giving you that feeling of progress without a substance.
💪 It creates structure when your brain is still learning how to live without chaos.
💪 It shows you every single week just how strong you actually are.

We don't just build bodies here. We build women who are confident as hell, proud of who they're becoming, and done shrinking for anyone.

If you're in recovery and ready to feel strong, seen, and proud in your own skin again…

You fought like hell to get sober.
And you did it.
But nobody told you that after the substances are gone, you'd still have to face the person in the mirror.
The body you don't recognize. The confidence addiction slowly stole from you. The feeling of being seen — really seen — as more than a piece of meat, as more than your past mistakes.
You're not broken. You're rebuilding. And that's actually the most powerful thing a woman can do.
But here's what I know from working with women in recovery:
The gym isn't just a gym for you. It's the first place where you get to decide what your body can do. Where progress is measurable and it's yours. Where showing up for yourself stops being something you have to earn.
My partner walked the road you're walking. I watched addiction take things from her that it had no right to take. Her confidence, her identity, her sense of being wanted and worthy, but most of all it stole her Power.
That's why I do this work. Not to sell a program. To help women in recovery realize what they're actually capable of and get their power back.
Because I've never smiled bigger than when a woman looks at herself after a few weeks of training and says "holy shit, I can do hard things."
We build strong women here. Confident women. Women who are proud of who they're becoming and women who are ready to take their power back.
This is for you if:
✅ You're in recovery and ready to stop just surviving
✅ You want to feel strong, confident, and proud in your body again
✅ You're tired of feeling invisible and you're ready to take up space
✅ You want a coach who actually understands where you've been

Overdoses. Jail. Homelessness. A mugshot on Crime Stoppers.

That was me before I got clean.

I got bullied as a kid for being overweight and learned to hate myself. Changed schools, decided to become someone who "couldn't be hurt", and that meant drugs, drinking, and dealing to feel like I belonged.

By the time I became a dad at 18, I was already too deep and too lost to show up the way my kids deserved.

On October 9th, 2018, after several overdoses, jail stints, and nights on the street, I hit rock bottom and made the decision to fully commit to my emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical recovery.

We rebuilt our family. I got sober. I found fitness, and it changed everything.

The discipline, the routine, the structure... it didn't just change my body. It rebuilt my identity. And I realized I had to help others do the same.

Today I'm a certified personal trainer, nutritionist, bodybuilding specialist, and elite trainer, and I coach high-achieving men and women in recovery who refuse to settle for mediocre.

If this story hits home, you're exactly who I'm here for.

The more I chase the further away what I want gets. But the more I attract the things I want the closer it gets.

I chase with control, I attract through a quite confidence paired with the willingness to listen to the people in my life. by @coachmikeobrien

Are you scared of eating too much?

Volume of food makes a massive difference.

Im not saying eat this much of each of these foods, but what I am saying is understanding how to fill and fuel your body can give you freedom to find balance. by @coachmikeobrien

I got a job at a treatment center and I am SO excited!

Boots on the ground job helping people who are exactly where I was and helping them align body, mind and spirit.

I'm not walking away from Lift Labs. But my time to 1:1 coach is about to SHRINK. Bad.

For the last few years I've coached dozens of people in recovery. I watched them go from surviving the day to actually trusting their own body and thriving. That work changed me as much as it changed them.

Because my time is limited now, I'm raising my rates. If you've been thinking about working with me, this is the window before that happens.

I'm not going to pretend this is some huge exclusive drop. It's just less time. I have a commitment to the people I do take on and I take that very seriously. When someone takes the leap and goes all in, I go all in with them!

If that's you, DM me “ READY “. 💜💜💜 by @coachmikeobrien

When's the last time you got blood work done? Tested your levels? Connected with a professional to see where you need to focus more energy?
