With almost 13 years in law enforcement, I’ve experienced multiple high-stress life and death situations. One way that has helped me deal with the stress has been exercising. My thought was maybe since the gym and exercise has helped me deal with stress and issues it could help Military Veterans & First Responders.
Featured Member Story
This is Warren a Vietnam veteran who served with the Army.
Warren was shot multiple times while serving and was also severely injured from shrapnel during a blast. Warren spent 15 months in the hospital being put back together. After returning home instead of receiving the warm welcome this hero deserves, he was ridiculed by friends and family members.
He was told he was “stupid” for going to Vietnam and told he must have been doing something dumb to get shot.
Warren recently lost his son who had children so now Warren is helping raise them.
Warren was a member at Golds gym before the pandemic and with them closing left him without a gym. His words to me were “ I’ve been called stupid for so long and treated badly I’m not used to people doing nice things for me."
I want to sincerely thank everyone whose donated, will donate or has shared the Venmo and go fund me link from the bottom of my heart.
To be able to make this hero finally feel appreciated means more than words can express!
