Healthy Minds Healthy Bodies is a trademarked program of AllenForce implemented by licensed fitness centers throughout the country that is offered free of charge to qualified veterans. Each facility and fitness professional complete specific training on veteran culture, PTSD, MST, injuries and illness specific to veterans and adaptive equipment.
This program provides veterans:
Often veterans have unique physical, environmental, and social needs after time in service. HMHB facilities accommodate these unique needs by creating a "veteran friendly" atmosphere. They re-create an environment promoting healthy living, fitness and camaraderie with a community based platform. A veteran's assigned personal trainer simulates a "battle buddy" in the gym and this adds to the support structure of monthly networking events that enable positive community involvement. The need for veteran friendly facilities is important as the number of veterans grows in our country. Seeing a family member struggle with life after the military led to a vision by a passionate man. This vision turned into the HMHB program with the help of two supportive agencies opening their doors to veterans all around the Chicago area and was implemented by a driven woman wanting to give back.
