Our Mission
Our unique mission is to provide group fitness and personal training to individuals who struggle with mental health and/or substance use disorders, offering a holistic approach to their recovery.
With our strategic partnerships, individuals recovering from mental health and/or substance use disorders who feel they could benefit from support exercise but do not have the financial means to access those services can have an opportunity to get active and be part of a supportive environment.
We are so excited to start helping people!
Fit 4 Victory is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
FILLING THE GAP
As a trainer, my goal was to change the way people thought about fitness. I wanted people to use exercise as a tool to help them cope with trauma, substance use, anxiety, and depression rather than just using it for weight loss. In my pursuit I found that the people I wanted to help were usually not able to afford my services. So I decided to figure out a way to fill that gap and make exercise services available to anyone in need. Fit 4 Victory is the way to fill that gap, and the gap between mental health professionals and fitness professionals.

Exercise is preventative mental health care.
EXERCISE REDUCES STRESS & BOOSTS MOOD
Exercise helps your brain produce endorphins which help improve your mood, and acts as a natural painkiller. It also helps the body lower stress hormones such as cortisol. It helps the brain produce serotonin which is the neurotransmitter targeted by Antidepressants. Because of this, it can also act as a form of medication for some people. Running, lifting weights, Yoga, or any other form of exercise requires a certain amount of focus. This helps take our mind off of our daily stresses and allows us to be in the moment.
