Life has a way of throwing challenges at all of us, and this is one we never expected.
Jim Thompson of Thompson Fitness has recently been diagnosed with cancer.
If you’ve trained with Jim, you know one thing is certain—he doesn’t back down from a fight. For nearly four decades, he’s helped people become stronger, both physically and mentally. Now it’s his turn to lean on that same strength.
He’s still planning to coach and continue R.A.F.T. classes whenever he’s able, but there may be times when classes are canceled or schedules change depending on treatments and how he’s feeling. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this journey.
Jim has always believed that fitness isn’t about having a perfect body—it’s about building the strength to face whatever life puts in front of you.
Now he’s doing exactly that.
Thank you to everyone for your prayers, encouragement, and support. They mean more than words can say.
We’ll continue to post updates on classes as we know more. In the meantime, keep moving, keep showing up, and keep fighting—just like Jim.
