FTG Kidney Strong

Strength. Support. A Better Quality of Life.

Chronic kidney disease can affect far more than kidney function. It can change a person's energy, confidence, independence, finances, and ability to stay physically active.

FTG Kidney Strong is being developed to help close part of that gap.

The initiative's future mission is to provide appropriate fitness, wellness education, and accountability resources to people living with chronic kidney disease, especially those who may not otherwise be able to afford personalized support.

The program is still in its earliest stage. FTG is currently defining the safest and most responsible way to build it, including potential partnerships with qualified medical professionals, kidney-health organizations, and community sponsors.

Proposed Founding Impact Model

Our initial goal is to provide one sponsored FTG membership for every 25 active paid memberships.

This model is still being evaluated and may change before the initiative officially launches. No memberships are currently promised, no sponsored memberships are currently active, and this is not a percentage-of-sales donation claim.

Why This Matters to Me

I have spent more than 25 years helping people become stronger, healthier, and more capable.

After learning that I was living with chronic kidney disease, health became personal in a different way.

I began thinking about what FTG could become beyond a coaching platform. I want to build something that not only helps paying members improve their lives, but eventually creates access and support for people facing a condition that can make staying healthy even more difficult.

FTG Kidney Strong is the beginning of that idea.

This is not about using a cause as a marketing slogan. It is about building a successful platform that can eventually create measurable help for real people.

Help Us Build It the Right Way

We are currently looking to connect with people and organizations who may be able to help shape the future of FTG Kidney Strong.

FTG Kidney Strong is currently an initiative in development and is not a registered nonprofit organization. Forget The Gym does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, or individualized medical advice. Any future fitness or wellness services for people living with chronic kidney disease should be completed with approval and guidance from the participant's qualified healthcare provider.
