Building Strength in Sobriety: Paul Lapine’s Journey with Fitness

I attribute a lot of that to my drinking. It was just like, you know, wasn't where I thought I should be.
Picture this: a man overcoming addiction by channeling his struggles into something positive. That’s exactly what Paul Lapine has done. In this episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu Robinson sits down with Paul, who has turned his life around by opening a sober gym in Brooklyn, New York. Paul’s story is one of resilience and transformation, having faced the loss of his father and battles with alcohol and drugs in his twenties.
Instead of letting these challenges define him, he found strength in fitness and created Lapine Fitness Studio—a haven for those on their own recovery journeys. Paul and Coach Blu dive into the principles that have guided Paul’s recovery, emphasizing the power of community and the role of fitness in achieving positive outcomes. They explore how exercise not only helps in physical recovery but also strengthens mental resilience.
Paul’s experience with EMDR therapy—a technique used to process trauma—adds another layer to his approach, showcasing the importance of exploring various tools and resources in recovery. Throughout their conversation, Paul highlights the significance of having a support system and the value of small victories along the way. His dedication to helping others shines through, offering hope and inspiration to anyone facing similar struggles.
Whether you’re in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode is a testament to the transformative power of fitness and community. Join Coach Blu and Paul for an uplifting discussion that underscores the importance of finding purpose and strength in sobriety. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the profound impact of exercise and support networks in the journey towards health and wellness.
