Background
In February 2019, CEO Jacoby Cotton, Doctor of Physical Therapy who specializes in the realm of Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, was inspired to start a movement that would bring people together by sharing the inspirations as faith believers and valuing diversity in our backgrounds. With a passion in sports and fitness, he wanted to use his platform as a therapist, former bodybuilder, and fitness coach to begin to bring revolutionary change that would inspire others to share their unique story of their fitness journey and experiences with overcoming some of life’s biggest hurdles.
​
From a therapy standpoint, he was determined to bridge the gap from rehab to performance by offering highly skilled services that many of his patients, who suffered from sports related injuries, would benefit from the guidance of a post Rehab fitness program. Soon, this idea expounded on a wellness model that would shape the lives of so many active individuals, beyond his patients, seeking guidance from someone they could trust to take their fitness to the next level.
​
In May 2019, Dr. Cotton founded Camp Fit2Rise, a nonprofit private organization in Houston, TX, as he discovered an opportunity to serve the community and make a broader impact by discovering healthy, fun, and interactive ways to engage the youth and teens in an Annual Free Summer Fitness and Mentoring program, where healthy relationships are established and fostered throughout the school year.
