As an avid fitness enthusiast who often looks for other activities other than the gym and sometimes needs a workout partner or just some motivation, I started this group to encourage others to eat clean, get lean, have fun and enjoy activities, exercise and maybe make some like-minded friends in the process.

If your relationship makes you feel sick or crazy, it might be unhealthy. We meet to be supportive and to offer help to anyone who needs it, male or female. But we are not a glum lot, and there is help from people who have been there. It doesn't have to be so sad or lonely. One in four women will be hurt by a partner, but just swearing at a partner causes untold damage. Learn new ways to relate.   Cover Photo "Purple Lake" courtesy of Eugeni Dinev from freedigitalphotos.net
