veteran's corner
OUR PEER LED PTSD MEETINGS ARE HELD WEDNESDAYS AT 7PM IN OUR BACK HALL.
​
ATTENDANCE IS LIMITED TO VETERANS AND FIRST RESPONDERS.
​
EVERYTHING IS COMPLETELY CONFIDENTIAL.
SHARING EXPERIENCES AND COPING TECHNIQUES WITH OTHERS HAVING FIRST-HAND KNOWLEDGE IS INVALUABLE.
​
SUPPORT IS HERE FOR YOU!
THE PRESSURE IS OFF.
​
IT'S NOT "I'M GOING TO A MEETING."
IT'S "I'M GOING TO THE GYM."
PHYSICAL
FITNESS
REGULAR EXERCISE RELEASES STRESS AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TO ENHANCE THE THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS OF PTSD TREATMENTS.
​
VICTORY GYM VHC IS A FULLY FUNCTIONAL, LAID BACK "OLD SCHOOL" STYLE GYM THAT IS GEARED TOWARD A MILITARY MINDSET.
​
WE OFFER FREE WEIGHTS, MACHINES, CARDIO AND MAT ROOMS, AS WELL AS OUTDOOR FITNESS OPPORTUNITIES SUCH AS TIRES TO FLIP, ROPES TO SLAP, AND SLEDS TO PUSH.
​
HEAVY LIFTING, GRUNTING, GALLON WATER JUGS, AND THE LIKE IS FINE!
INDIVIDUALITY IS ENCOURAGED.
RESPECT FOR OTHER MEMBERS, THE VOLUNTEER STAFF, AND THE HOUSE IS REQUIRED!
CONNECTION
CIVILIAN LIFE PRESENTS CHALLENGES, PARTICULARLY WHEN LIVING WITH PTSD.
​
INTERACTING WITH OTHER GYM MEMBERS DURING A WORKOUT AND SOCIALIZING IN A COMFORTABLE SETTING IS HELPFUL.
​
PTSD CAN LEAD TO ISOLATION AND DEPRESSION.
​
WE OFFER A HEAKTHY LIFESTYLE IN WHAT FOR MANY BECOMES A SECOND HOME!
IF WORKIING OUT I SNOT ON YOUR AGENDA FOR THE DAY YOU ARE WELCOME TO COME HANG OUT IN OUR LOUNGE AREA ANYTIME!
