A fitness environment allows veterans to feel more conventional as they work their body.  The psychological impact of not feeling like they are in a clinical setting is one very large hurdle that can be overcome.  In a rehabilitation facility, an individual tends to feel "sick" or like there is something wrong with them.  In a fitness center, the psychological belief is that of normalcy, strength and possibility.  Our fitness environment  encourages reintegration among veterans and we are exclusive to military personnel.  We live by the motto “move your body, heal your mind” and use physical fitness to improve PTSD, limit depression, and lessen anxiety.

Stress, fatigue, poor sleep, and hypertension become normal to the Special Operator regardless of their present situation. This causes the symptoms to get progressively worse as it can take a toll on relationships, lead to excessive alcohol consumption and depression. We want to help them find balance by focusing on the mind and practicing different forms of mindfulness to assist in controlling those thoughts, emotions to ultimately help improve the Special Operator’s overall effectiveness.  We do not claim that our programs are treatments, nor do we claim to be therapists.
