XLR8 Fitness & Counseling

At XLR8 Veterans Services, we understand the unique challenges faced by our nation's heroes and are dedicated to providing comprehensive mental health counseling and fitness services tailored to their needs. Our team of experienced professionals combines traditional talk therapy with innovative physical fitness programs to help veterans overcome obstacles and achieve optimal well-being.

Our approach is based on the belief that physical fitness plays a crucial role in improving mental health. By integrating exercise into our therapeutic approach, we empower veterans to manage their emotions and reduce stress. This holistic approach has been proven to be highly effective in treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, ultimately reducing the risk of suicide and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Our Difference

Unlike traditional fitness facilities that focus solely on physical health, XLR8 Veterans Services addresses both the mind and body. We believe that this integrated approach not only leads to quicker success in achieving fitness goals and weight loss but also significantly enhances long-term weight maintenance. Our team is committed to helping veterans adopt a healthier lifestyle that benefits both their physical and mental well-being.

Services Offered

At XLR8 Veterans Services, we offer a variety of services designed to meet the unique needs of each veteran. These include:

• Traditional Talk Therapy: Our experienced therapists provide a safe and supportive environment for veterans to discuss their feelings, experiences, and challenges. Through this process, we help veterans develop coping strategies and work towards overcoming their obstacles.

• Physical Fitness Programs: Our certified personal trainers create customized fitness plans that cater to each veteran's specific needs and goals. These programs are designed to not only improve physical health but also enhance mental well-being by reducing stress and promoting feelings of happiness and fulfillment.

• Sports/Fitness Sponsorships: We believe that engaging in team sports or group fitness activities can be incredibly beneficial for mental health. Therefore, we offer sponsorships for veterans to join local sports teams or fitness classes, providing them with opportunities to connect with others who share similar experiences and challenges.

• Corporate Wellness: We also offer corporate wellness programs for businesses looking to improve the health and productivity of their employees. By incorporating our unique approach into the workplace, companies can create a more supportive and healthy environment for their staff.
