A Stronger Cord (ASC) Project:

A Stronger Cord started quite modestly with a challenge: “When are we going to start working out?” The statement came from a handsome and fit young man living at a mission in Denver that serves the homeless. It was directed at a volunteer chapel leader and workout enthusiast who would always talk to the guys about the importance of fitness to one’s overall health and well being.

From that spark a mission was born. It starts with the workout. It’s a fact. We have too many isolated, unfit and stressed out human beings. The knuckleheads of A Stronger Cord believe exercise is a great connector, equalizer and stress reducer. We warm up, work out and hang out. Sweat, bond and grow. Body, mind and spirit. ASC participants challenge one another - we’re all knuckleheads with stories - to become more fitness-minded, dependable and productive. We believe it will help us build a stronger cord - thus the name - to families, jobs and communities.

From mansions to missions and everything in between, A Stronger Cord’s mission is to transform America into fitness-minded, dependable and productive. Connected to families, jobs and communities. Cords of three strands far more productive than isolated, unfit and stressed. Men, women and children. It starts with the workout.

We hope to see you at one soon!

What's It All About?
King Solomon said people who are alone when they fall are in real trouble. Two working together can do better. But three are even better because a cord of three is not easily broken. That's the philosophy behind A Stronger Cord, helping men in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction begin rebuilding connections with friends, family and the community.
