Not just helping, but healing!

It is such a gift to witness the healing EMDR brings to our clients that are repeatedly exposed to some of most tragic and/or heinous elements of humanity.

For officers burdened by trauma, EMDR offers relief without reliving the pain

Please consider supporting Officer Barry Graham August 8th. Come participate, spectate, or donate as we come together to uplift him. Every show of support makes a difference!

At NLXF, we’ve always believed that fitness is about more than working out. It’s about showing up for each other when life gets hard.

Many of you have likely crossed paths with Barry Graham at the gym over the last several months. He’s a husband of 23 years to his wife, Jacki, a father of three boys, and someone who has spent his career serving our community as a law enforcement officer with West Des Moines.

If none of that rings a bell, you’ve probably heard the very strong Irish accent around the gym. That accent isn’t fake. That’s Barry. Since the day Barry joined the gym, he instantly became one of my favorite people to be around. He’s sarcastic, fun and even on his worst days, you’d never know he’s having a rough day. I think most people that know Barry would describe him in a very similar way.

Barry is now facing the toughest fight of his life after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. He and his family are currently awaiting additional testing to determine the extent of the cancer and the best path forward.

While we can’t fight Barry’s battle for him, we can stand beside him every step of the way. That’s where the NLXF army comes in.

Beginning with our July 11 HYROX Full Sim, we’re launching a fundraiser to support Barry and his family.

• For the remainder of 2026, including our July 11 HYROX Full Sim, 100% of registration proceeds from the following groups will be donated directly to Barry and his family:
* Law Enforcement
* Active Military
* Veterans
* Firefighters
* EMTs
Anyone in one of these professions can use code BARRY when registering to receive 20% off their registration, and 100% of their registration fee will go directly to Barry and his family.

You can register for the July HYROX Sim with that code at: https://www.webscorer.com/nlxfhyrox

Our August HYROX Full Sim will be dedicated entirely to Barry.

Here’s how we’re helping:
• $20 from every Individual registration and $40 from every Doubles registration will be donated directly to Barry and his family.

We will also be announcing other fundraising efforts for Barry in the coming weeks.

Registration will open for the August HYROX Sim/Fundraiser next week.

When I shared this idea with Barry at the gym last week, he became emotional. He couldn’t believe our community would be willing to rally around him like this.

Now let’s show him just how many people are in his corner.

Please help us spread the word. My goal is to have Barry at our August HYROX Sim so he can see firsthand the incredible community standing behind him.

Barry, you’ve spent your life serving others.

Now it’s our turn to serve you.

Every Push. Every Pull. Every Rep. For Barry.

As National Police Week 2026 concludes, we take time to reflect on the officers and their families who made the ultimate sacrifice. Policing is an incredibly dangerous profession, and I was honored to serve nearly 4,000 survivors this year, alongside the best support services team made up of other first responder clinicians, the United States Marshals, Law Enforcement Peer Support Teams, Police Chaplains, and surviving spouses from all corners of this great country. Although we pray there will never be another line-of-duty death, our commitment to supporting those enduring deep grief and loss will always remain steadfast.

Today marks 5 years since Sgt. Jim Smith’s end of watch. His service, leadership, and sacrifice are not forgotten.

In his honor, several of our team members completed the Sgt. Smith Hero WOD—pushing through together the same way he always showed up for others.

We remember. We honor. We carry it forward.

Director Sheila Russell spent the latter part of last week in Michigan working with peer support members, sharing insights on mental wellness, peer support skills, resilience, and post-traumatic growth.

A big thank you to the Sterling Heights Police Department for the opportunity to collaborate and support this important work!

Took my children to honor Major Jeffrey O’Brien in his procession to the Iowa Veterans Cemetery. Rest easy, Hero. Thank You will never be enough.

We have been busy doing one of things we love the most - serving those who serve us!! January and February were spent providing mental wellness to DMPD and WDMPD’s in-service training for their certified officers and command staff.

Long gone are the days of simply accepting the “suck it up buttercup,” model. The neuroscience is clear that the countless exposures and experiences of human violence, horror, grief & loss, and moral injury take its toll.

Reach out, complete your calls by doing the good trauma treatment work, and engage in activities that are good for your parasympathetic (rest and recover) nervous system!
