Community power is immense. Project Heroes First creates a space where Veterans connect with peers who understand their experiences, share stories, offer encouragement, and find support to tackle life's challenges. Join us in honoring our Veterans by supporting Project Heroes First.

Project hero first is one non profit I trust in. They have been great since the begining and excited to see them keep helping any and all veterans. Mental health is a serious thing in the veteran community, combine that with fitness makes great success. Being able to work out makes it easier to express myself especially working out with other veterans

I came across Project Heroes First and its been life changing for me. From the initial conversation with JT about the training program I have not only felt understood, but accepted with open arms. Camaraderie is something Ive been missing since retiring from the military and I have found it once again! Project Heroes First is a program for like minded veterans looking to better themselves and each other all while being guided and supported by strong and capable coaches. What I have accomplished with them so far has had a positive impact on my physical and mental health. Excited for the future are words I havent uttered in over a decade, but I can definitely say that I am excited to be a part of this organization. I walk into every session like a kid headed downstairs on Christmas morning! Im so grateful to have found them. Looking forward to seeing just how far this program can take me. Thanks JT!

This place has become my second home. I am allowed to be myself, meet other Veterans in my same position, and get to workout together. The comaraderie has grown with this organization being only a year old. Justin has helped me get stronger, faster leaner which helped me more with the mental recovery.

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.
