Walter P. Midkiff, Founder
“Each story is different; each participant unique, but the devastation that substance abuse causes in peoples lives is, unfortunately, all the same. We can help participants restore their physical and mental health by providing a safe space for tough physical challenges in the hopes of building the resolve, and healthy habits it takes to overcome addiction.”

Experience
Walter is the father of three wonderful daughters. He is an educator, and a motivator.
He began his career as a Health and Physical Fitness educator in the Virginia public school system in addition to coaching high school athletics for 12 years.
Because the above didn’t keep him busy enough, he also officiated for the NCAA for 16 years. Walter now enjoys watching from the sidelines as a raucous spectator, but still keeps his whistle handy.
For the past 6 years Walter has been participating in CrossFit and teaching classes as a Level Two CrossFit Instructor to adults from all walks of life and fitness levels.
“Teaching is a calling and passion of mine. Recovery Fitness provides me the opportunity to bring my passion for fitness to individuals who need new habits, and behaviors to thrive in society by beating addiction.”
