After an 18-year career in the United States Army, Mike “Grunt” Emory was medically retired due to PTSD. During a month-long stint in rehabilitation, he had a life-altering realization: his well-being hinged entirely on finding a renewed sense of purpose. He knew there were countless other veterans and first responders who shared the exact same struggles.
 

Instead of letting isolation and depression take over, he decided to fight back—not just for himself, but for his brothers and sisters in arms.
 

That is how Victory Gym VHC was born.
