When Dr. Mark Jones of Northpoint Nebraska, an addiction treatment and rehabilitation center approached Big Omaha Fitness owner and seven-time CrossFit Games athlete Stacie Tovar about creating a partnership, she didn’t hesitate to say yes.
The result: For the last two months, those in the 30-day rehabilitation program at Northpoint Nebraska have been doing CrossFit at Big Omaha Fitness three days a week during the gym’s quiet time in the middle of the afternoon as part of their rehabilitation process.
Jones explained a CrossFit gym is the perfect kind of gym for a facility like his to partner with, as the people in his addiction recovery program need hands-on coaching. “Our philosophy was to form a partnership with a boutique gym that can help individuals get healthy,” he explained.
