To honor & inspire wounded & amputee military personnel through health and fitness.
To ensure all wounded and limb deficient military personnel have the best opportunity to live more active & fulfilling lives.
We founded F2SWF based on a career background in directly seeing the benefits of proper health & fitness programs. In addition to increased mobility, mental health & confidence greatly improved.
Our feeling is that through health & fitness initiatives, we can foster an environment of mental & physical strength for our wounded military heroes. (Iron Athletes).
We also feel that the benefits of strength training & proper nutrition coupled with mental health & career counseling, have huge benefits both short & long term. We therefore equip our service men & women w/ cutting-edge prosthetics, comprehensive education, specialized equipment & individual & event sponsorships.
At the heart of our movement are four core values that guide everything we do:
We believe in fostering a tight-knit community where active military and veterans from all branches can find camaraderie, understanding, and motivation. We’re a supportive network of peers, mentors, and volunteers, ensuring that no one feels alone on their journey towards better health and fitness.
Our organization is committed to every military member as they work towards their health and fitness goals. With access to adaptive equipment and resources, we prioritize individual needs and aspirations of each Iron Athlete, ensuring they have the tools and encouragement necessary to succeed.
Transparency is a cornerstone of our organization, guiding our actions, decisions, and communications. From financial transparency to clear communication about program offerings and outcomes, we believe in honesty, integrity, and accountability in everything we do.
We uphold the highest standards of professionalism in all aspects of our organization. From our dedicated staff and volunteers to our partnerships with healthcare professionals and fitness experts. Excellence and competence in our operations and services, is our commitment, providing respectful and inclusive environment where every member feels valued.
These 4 core values guide our vision and mission to empower all amputees to reclaim their health and fitness, enabling them to live active, fulfilling lives to the fullest extent possible. Our commitment is a movement and we strive to make a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of those we serve.
