Healing through Fitness

I spent many years in the dark after my deployment to Iraq. I put the weights down all together. It left me in such a state of depression I came close to losing my life.

One thing that comes with PTSD is anger and if that anger is not properly extinguished, it’ll destroy you and the people around you.

On the hospital bed I made the decision to become the best version of myself, to be the man I needed in my life for others.

Exercise has been one of the few reasons I’m still breathing. It’s not only important, it’s life saving.

A lot of Veterans turn to exercise. Some say it’s almost a meditative state and a chance to let the dark thoughts go. I recommend it to any and every Veteran I meet. 

Healing through Motorcycle Club

I am a brother of the “US Military Vets Motorcycle Club” the club was established in 1987. I can’t get into to much detail but the short story is it’s all about brotherhood. The camaraderie we had in the military was lost to us in the civilian world. The club keeps us connected, accountable and there for each other in our darkest hours. 

We meet as often as possible and enjoy each other’s company on and off the motorcycle. As an MC we ride the country wherever our brothers might be. 

Healing with GMWD Fitness

1) How’s your experience using our LE01 leg extension and curl machine?

Absolutely amazing! I never thought I’d be able to have a machine like this in my house. I thought they could only be found in public gyms.

The quality and precision of having the leg extension and curl machine has completed my home gym. As the saying goes “never skip leg day”.

2) Has this product been helpful for your veteran community?

No rules, no waiting your turn, just a good solid workout.

Big gyms and crowds can lead to anxiety for a Veteran. Now you can have a gym in the privacy of your on home.
