Adapted fitness program for veterans
This program offers group training sessions designed to support veterans’ recovery (both physical and mental), help them maintain healthy lifestyle habits, facilitate their return to the workforce, improve their quality of life, promote independence, and foster a sense of belonging to a community.
- Each new veteran accepted into the program will undergo a fitness assessment, after which they will receive a personalized training program tailored to their physical and mental condition.
- This will increase their chances of success in improving their physical abilities and mental well-being.
- Veterans participating in our session-based program will have their programs adjusted as needed.
- The program can also serve as a continuation for participants in the Reconditioning Fitness program.
