Keep Your Fire Strong

Modern fitness culture obsesses over aesthetics, extremes, and optimization. But what if movement was never meant to be about domination—or data—but devotion?

In Keep Your Fire Strong, Indigenous wellness advocate and functional fitness coach Thosh Collins blends Native teachings with cutting-edge exercise science to offer a radically holistic model of strength. Rooted in the concept of tending your inner fire—your life force, resilience, and spirit—this book reframes fitness as a lifelong spiritual venture.
