Our Company
The Ridge Wellness and Recovery was created with one goal in mind; to bridge the gap between physical fitness and substance use recovery. We believe movement is a powerful tool for healing, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.
Recovery is more than just quitting a substance. It’s about rebuilding your body, your mind, your habits, your identity. It’s about creating a life that feels worth living. At The Ridge, we recognize that the journey looks different for everyone, and we provide individualized training and recovery support to help people regain strength, confidence, and purpose.
Our approach is rooted in the understanding that fitness isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about resilience. Whether you’re working through early sobriety, struggling with motivation, or looking for structure in your day-to-day life, The Ridge is here to support you.
You don’t have to do this alone. Whether you’re starting fresh or picking yourself back up, we’re here to help you build a foundation that feels steady, strong, and sustainable.
Our Founder
I’m Leah O’Neill, the founder of The Ridge Wellness and Recovery, and I know firsthand how difficult the road to recovery can be. I am a Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutritionist, and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC). More than anything, I’m someone who understands what it’s like to struggle.
For years, I fought my own battle with addiction. I didn’t just lose control; I nearly lost my life. My drinking took me to a breaking point, and eventually, in 2022, I found myself in the hospital with a diagnosis of necrotizing pancreatitis. Eight months later, when I was finally discharged, I came to a realization- it was time to rebuild, reclaim, and recover. My body, my habits, my mindset, my future- all mine to take ownership of. My life- mine to take back. My recovery- mine to fight for.
During my hospital stay, I experienced firsthand the physical toll of addiction and what it means to start over. I had to learn how to take care of myself in a whole new way. Movement became a tool for healing, it helped me reconnect with my body, build confidence, and find strength in the process of recovery.
That’s why I created The Ridge Wellness and Recovery—to offer the kind of support I once needed. I understand the setbacks, the doubts, the moments when it feels impossible. I also know that transformation is possible. Recovery isn’t about just quitting a substance; it’s about rediscovering who you are and what you’re capable of.
If you’re feeling lost, stuck, or uncertain about what comes next, I’ve been there. And I want to help you find a way forward.
Together, let’s take one day at a time.
