Our Story

More Than Yesterday... Less Than Tomorrow.

That's our goal! In training, in competition, and in life! We are always striving to be better than we were last time... striving for perfection.

With over 40+ years of combined experience in the fitness industry, Recovery Routine founders (and husband + wife), Chris and Jen have loved helping others reach their fitness and competitive goals. Over the years we've seen some incredible body transformations, we've helped athletes win National and World Championships, and we've seen the life-changing effects of overcoming self-doubt.

"We love helping others achieve their goals!"

As young athletes we only focused on the training and trying to do as much as possible. As we have gotten older, wiser, and have young kids at home; we now realize the importance of taking care of our bodies. It's more than just taking a rest day; to truly be successful, recovery training needs to be PART of the training... part of the ROUTINE!

Our Priorities Were Changed Forever.

In April of 2023, Chris was diagnosed with a rare form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cancer. He had neglected minor symptoms for years, until it was too late, and he was hospitalized for 12-days while the doctors put him through a batter of tests and came to consensus on cancer. He immediately started a 6 month cycle of chemotherapy.

For years Chris had neglected his own training and health. He put all his energy into training others, running our gym, coaching internationally, and our family. The cancer diagnosis was a wakeup call. Chris had a life-threatening opponent in his way. He had to prepare his body to withstand the chemo. He had to rebuild his body to defeat the cancer.

Recovery Routine Was Born.

In late September of 2023, Chris completed his final chemotherapy treatment. His body had held-up during the therapy and Chris attributes much of that to exercising nearly every day and cutting nearly all the junk from his diet. But the clear-cut plan-of-attack was changing to a wait and monitor approach with periodic blood testing. 

Chris began researching what else he could be doing, now that chemotherapy had come to an end. He came across numerous articles explaining the healing benefits of Saunas, Ice Baths, and Contrast Therapy; especially for those with lymphatic problems. His fight with, and recovery from, cancer has only started. It's a battle he will face the rest of his life. After a career guiding others with their fitness and competition goals, we are passionate about guiding others with their recovery.

Better Recovery = Being able to train consistently.
Better Recovery = Not missing games or events.
Better Recovery = Keeping your immune system strong.
Better Recovery = Improving your mental health.
Better Recovery = Quality rest, sleep, and relaxation.

We are grateful to have the opportunity to serve you and help you to create a Recovery Routine to reach your individual goals. We strive to curate a collection of the best products to promote a healthy and active lifestyle.  We love to help people get (and stay) healthy & fit, and we are honored to guide you in your wellness journey!

We are a husband & wife duo on a mission to bring the best recovery & wellness products to everyone.

Sincerely,

Chris & Jen
