Inherent Strength provides free personal training, wellness programming and recovery resources to people who are in recovery from any type of mental/behavioral, social or life issue. Including
but not limited to soldiers with PTSD, individuals recovering from drug and alcohol addiction, abusive relationships, and co-dependency.
Mental Health Affects You
Mental and behavioral health affects everyone. Depression, substance abuse, and suicide are common problems our society deals with on a day to day basis. Most likely, you or someone very close to you has dealt with these challenges. Veterans of our armed
forces are especially at a high risk for developing mental health problems. According to a study by the Department of Veterans Affairs,
one veteran kills themselves every 65 minutes. The Center for Disease control also tracks mental health and its effects on society. The statistics are alarming, but people's stories can get lost in the numbers.
We all know the effects of addictions, depression, PTSD and other mental health issues. It is very real and we see it every day. You think
“I wish there was something I could do.”
There is. With a donation to the Inherent Strength project you will be opening the door for these individuals to achieve their full potential. We help
heal the Individual, so they can heal their families... families heal communities... and together as a community
WE CAN HEAL NATIONS.
INHERENT STRENGTH
Your donations will help me secure gym space, provide equipment and transportation cost, as well as pay for necessary insurance. I will provide more than just personal training. Recovery encompasses many dimensions of wellness to achieve your full potential.
I care greatly about each and every client I work with and will provide my ever expanding network of support to them.
NO EXCUSES
Financial reasons and just not knowing what you should do often keep people stuck in the contemplation phase of starting a new active lifestyle program. With your donations we can remove these road blocks for people in our communities to have access to one-on-one
personal training, allowing them to grow and move past an issue.
PHYSICAL WELLNESS NECESSARY FOR RECOVERY
The expanded wellness model includes seven dimensions of wellness. I have found that creating a lifestyle change must include a physical activity program. It is the dimension with the biggest influence on the other six areas. If you are working to get things
right mentally, emotionally, spiritually, but your body just doesn’t feel good, you have body image problems, or you just don’t have the physical capacity to complete tasks in your life, your entire path to recovery will feel the effects.
WORKING TOGETHER
Working together with my Inherent Strength Warriors (the participants
in my program), we will create lasting life style changes.
PERSONALIZED
The Wellness Programs will begin with a health and lifestyle questionnaire, so I can gauge the physical aptitude of my participants. We will evaluate eating habits, nutrition and overall physical health, including blood pressure, resting heart rate, body
mass index, and cardiorespiratory capacity. From there I will personally develop individual programs that will meet each person's specific needs. Their individual programs will involve more than just working out. I will work with each participant on goal setting,
intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and healthy eating habits, along with building everyday habits that will enable them live a higher quality of life, through greater strength, vitality and personal responsibility. The outcome is that individuals become
happy, healthy members of our community.
Recovery Beyond the Gym
Participants will also have access to additional recovery resources through the great people at New Beginnings Recovery Center: www.newbeginningsrecoverydenver.com
Recovery has to encompass many aspects to sustain healing. Living well requires implementing positive programs to change behavior to improve health and quality of life, prolong life, and achieve total wellbeing.
We Can Be Heroes
The economic and social impacts of mental/behavioral problems affect everyone. Without the tools and access to personal trainers and wellness programmers like myself, whole wellness and complete health will not be achieved. Each and every donation to Inherent
Strength will have an immediate and direct positive impact on someone in recovery.
Be a Part of Positive Social Change
I want to create a positive social buzz about being part of the INHERENT STRENGTH program. I am creating T-Shirts and other apparel to give to the supporters and participants of
INHERENT STRENGTH. Along with recieveing an INHERENT STRENGTH t-shirt and gear, supporters can witness the growth of program participants through my social media outlets.
