What Is the Iron Sharpens Iron Campaign?
Iron Sharpens Iron is a global recovery campaign launched by ARC Fitness that celebrates the strength we build through connection, accountability, and community.
The campaign is grounded in the belief that recovery isn’t a journey we make alone, it’s something we grow through together. Whether you're someone in recovery, a supporter, or simply someone who cares, Iron Sharpens Iron reminds us:
“Just as iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
​
Addiction often thrives in isolation, but healing happens in relationships. The campaign includes events, stories, and trainings designed to lift people up, remove stigma, and make recovery support more visible and accessible to all.
