Addiction
Understanding exercise addiction
While regular exercise is vital for healthy living, exercise addiction can severely impact emotional wellbeing and physical health. Often overlooked and hard to diagnose in our fitness-obsessed culture, exercise addiction involves a psychological and physical dependence on excessive physical activity. This disorder can lead to compulsive behaviour, neglect of personal relationships, and physical injuries. Health professionals are increasingly recognising these symptoms, understanding that even those with disciplined fitness routines can develop an unhealthy addiction. As our understanding grows, it becomes clear that whole-person, non-judgemental, focused treatment and care are the foundations of reclaiming a balanced lifestyle.
Empathy in every stride. Expertise in every solution.
What is Harbor London?
Harbor is far more than just a treatment centre – we offer luxurious, one-on-one, residential exercise addiction treatment in discreet healing sanctuaries across central
London. With a recovery journey designed individually for you, our whole-person approach addresses the root causes of exercise addiction and its links to other mental health conditions and substance abuse disorders.
How we work
How exercise can be misused
Often, exercise addiction can coexist with mood disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma-related conditions, eating disorders and personality disorders – creating a complex web of challenges. When exercise is used solely to control or ‘numb’ emotions, it can spiral into a harmful dependency. This misuse becomes evident when individuals continue to exercise despite physical injuries, prioritising a workout regime over recovery. Additionally, when exercise takes precedence over other vital aspects of life – such as spending time with loved ones, attending social engagements, or fulfilling work commitments – it signals an addictive behaviour.

FAQs:
Exercise addiction
How is exercise addiction defined, and what are its potential consequences?
Exercise addiction is defined as an unhealthy obsession with physical activity, where individuals feel compelled to engage in excessive exercise despite potential harm. This compulsive behaviour can lead to severe physical injuries, mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, and neglect of personal relationships and responsibilities. Over time, the addiction can result in chronic injuries, mental health issues, and a significant decline in overall wellbeing.
What are the signs that someone may be struggling with exercise addiction?
Signs of exercise addiction include an inability to rest or take days off, exercising despite injury or illness, and experiencing withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety or depression when unable to exercise. Other indicators include prioritising exercise over social activities, work, or family commitments, and feeling a constant need to increase the intensity or duration of workouts to achieve the same emotional effects.
What treatment approaches are used to address exercise addiction?
At Harbor London, we employ a whole-person approach to treat exercise addiction. Our multidisciplinary medical team of psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, and nutritionists collaborates to address the physical, psychological, and emotional aspects of the addiction. Treatment includes one-to-one therapy, wellness practices, and comprehensive evaluations to identify and address underlying issues.
How do exercise addiction treatment programs promote a healthy relationship with physical activity?
Our exercise addiction treatment programs focus on restoring a balanced and healthy relationship with physical activity. Through personalised therapy sessions, nutritional guidance, and wellbeing practices, we help individuals understand the importance of moderation and self-care. In time, individuals come to appreciate physical activity as one positive part of their lives rather than a compulsive need.
How can individuals maintain a balanced approach to exercise after completing treatment for exercise addiction?
After completing exercise addiction treatment, individuals are equipped with strategies to maintain a balanced approach to exercise. Our aftercare programs provide ongoing support and guidance for you and your loved ones, helping to develop sustainable routines that incorporate healthy physical activity without falling back into addictive patterns. Regular check-ins, continued one-to-one therapy, and curated support ensure long term success.

From private accommodations to confidential one-to-one therapy sessions, we are dedicated to maintaining your privacy, allowing you to focus solely on your recovery without concern of your identity being exposed.
What type of aftercare do you offer?
Our aftercare programs include continued one-to-one therapy, access to individualised support, and regular follow-up sessions with our multidisciplinary medical team. We aim to provide ongoing guidance and resources to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle and prevent relapse, ensuring a smooth transition back into everyday life.
