I have had the pleasure of working with Justin and watching him lead an incredible group of veterans looking to improve their fitness and mental health. You will be surrounded with people who are not only trying to transform their life but who are excited to see their brothers and sisters do the same.

This has been a life changing event for me. With my health as bad as it is, I was worried I was not going to get much out of it. However, with the physical health knowledge this non-profit brings, I have been able to push myself and get stronger through it. I've been in chronic pain for years and this has helped relieve a lot of that. It has great comradery and support with everyone involved makes it a fun and enjoyable experience setting myself on a great path for the future. I will definitely recommend it for everyone.

Project Heroes First stands out as an extraordinary organization making a profound impact on veterans in our community. Through their unwavering dedication to empowering individuals with physical or traumatic impairments, especially our cherished veterans, they've created a transformative space that goes beyond conventional support.

The organization's emphasis on the powerful combination of exercise and community is truly commendable. Witnessing the positive change it brings, I made the decision to send veterans their way for assistance. Project Heroes First is not just a charity; it's a force for good, a beacon of hope that actively rebuilds lives. Their holistic approach, centered around mental health enrichment and fitness, is genuinely uplifting. Choosing Project Heroes First was an easy decision it's an organization that doesn't just talk about making a difference; it's actively creating a positive and lasting impact on the lives of our deserving veterans.

I am a veteran and graduate from this program. It has been a life changing experience. I have been able to get back in shape and have reduced my daily pain and stress levels. The ability to be surrounded by veterans again has made this an enjoyably familiar experience. I highly recommend this program for any veteran of all physical abilities.
