Why
The Ruck Club?
A Message from Doug
The Ruck Club Founder
After recovering from acute heart failure, I founded a ruck club to rebuild my strength, foster a sense of community, and inspire others to embrace resilience. Rucking offered a practical, scalable way to regain my fitness and mental fortitude while connecting with like-minded individuals. It became more than just a workout—it was a path to healing, camaraderie, and empowering others to overcome their own challenges. This club symbolizes the strength we can find in shared effort and the power of never giving up.
​
After I was diagnoses with myocarditis, pericarditis, and heart failure, I was introduced to holistic medicine that played a key role in my rehab and recovery. These holistic methods helped me heal faster through integrative care, nutrition, and mindfulness. No matter what you're going through medically, I genuinely believe we should all be afforded the same opportunity. And this is why I started this club. Let's come together and help one another out.
