Warriorwod preferred partner gym network
WarriorWOD partners with mission-driven gyms to give veterans the structure, strength, and community they need through a six-month recovery program built on exercise, nutrition, and mentorship.
VETERAN RECOVERY PROGRAM
REDUCTION IN PTS SYMPTOMS
SUICIDES DIRECTLY PREVENTED
PROGRAM COMPLETERS
With your support, more victories become possible, giving veterans the chance to once again find purpose and rediscover lost joy.
Every donated or discounted membership directly lowers WarriorWOD’s program cost — redirecting funds to nutrition coaching, Battle Buddy mentorship, adaptive equipment, and additional veterans waiting for support.
Donate a six-month membership
Sponsor a veteran’s full six-month membership as an in-kind donation. Your single largest direct impact.
Offer a deeply reduced rate
Mission-aligned referrals from a trusted veteran recovery program lower your customer acquisition cost.
Sponsor a number of veterans annually
Commit to supporting 1, 3, 5, or more veterans per year — predictable impact you can plan for.
Provide a supportive environment
Coaches who learn names. A community that notices when someone’s missing. The space where recovery happens.
WarriorWOD is a structured six-month recovery program. Your gym is one pillar inside a research-backed system designed to rebuild routine, strength, trust, and community.
You are not being asked to manage recovery. You are being asked to open the door. WarriorWOD handles structure, communication, mentorship, nutrition coaching, and program oversight.
Every Warrior in the program receives:
Three ways to partner. Every tier is meaningful. Every partner is recognized. Start where it makes sense — many gyms grow into deeper sponsorship over time.
Donates a full six-month membership for one or more veterans.
Gyms seeking maximum mission impact and the strongest public recognition.
Provides a deeply reduced nonprofit rate for WarriorWOD veterans.
Gyms supporting the mission while offsetting part of facility cost.
Accepts WarriorWOD-funded veterans at modestly reduced pricing.
Gyms starting the relationship & growing into deeper sponsorship over time.
See exactly how your gym’s contribution translates into program cost reduction and additional veterans served.

A community that notices when they’re missing.
Your gym provides the routine, structure, accountability, and physical momentum that no clinical setting can replicate. Independent gyms, CrossFit affiliates, martial arts schools, and community-driven facilities are uniquely suited for this work.
Participants in the WarriorWOD program can expect three distinct outcomes.
Committed Veteran Members
Pre-screened, program-enrolled veterans committed to training at least twice per week for six months.
Reduced Acquisition Cost
Mission-aligned referrals from a trusted veteran recovery program lower your customer acquisition cost.
Premium Brand Recognition
Earn the WarriorWOD Preferred Partner Gym badge and public listing on our directory.
Co-Branded Marketing
Social media recognition, mutual promotion, and visibility across WarriorWOD communications.
Long-Term Member Potential
The six-month funded membership is the beginning. Warriors often become long-term paying members.
Measurable Community Impact
Partner with a program that has documented a 29.7% PTS symptom reduction, directly prevented 9 veteran suicides, and reduced substance abuse by 15%.
Whole-Household Effect
When a Warrior’s life turns around, the spouse joins next. Then the kids. Partner gyms regularly see one Warrior turn into a 2–4-person household of paying members and these households stay, because the gym is woven into a real recovery story.
Tax-Deductible In-Kind Giving
WarriorWOD is a 501(c)(3). The donated portion of partner participation may qualify as a charitable contribution, with documentation provided each tax year.
Veteran Word-of-Mouth Engine
Veterans are the tightest-knit referral community in America. One Warrior in your gym becomes the connector to their unit’s group chat, VFW post, drill weekend, and spouse’s military-family Facebook group. That’s an audience your Meta ads can’t buy at any CPM.
A note on long-term members: Some veterans continue training after graduation and may become long-term members. While this is never guaranteed, WarriorWOD introduces your gym to mission-aligned veterans and families who value community, consistency, and trust.

Our six-month recovery program is built on three research-backed pillars to address both the physical and psychological aspects of post-traumatic stress.
01
EXERCISE
Choice of exercise modality
Regular physical activity reduces stress hormones, improves emotional regulation, and encourages neuroplasticity. Exercise is 1.5x more effective than antidepressants in treating depression. Warriors attend the gym of their choice at least twice each week through our network of 40+ gym partners.
1.5x
More effective than antidepressants
02
NUTRITION
Bi-weekly nutrition coaching
Participants in the WarriorWOD program work with certified nutrition coaches every two weeks. Proper nutrition stabilizes mood and energy levels, improves cognitive and emotional functioning, and supports healthier long-term coping. Eating healthy has shown to reduce anxiety and depression by 37%.
37%
Reduction in anxiety & depression
03
MENTORSHIP
Paired with a veteran Battle Buddy
Each Warrior in the WarriorWOD program is paired with a Battle Buddy, a fellow veteran who understands the path firsthand. Mentors provide empathy, accountability, and strategies for managing PTS symptoms. This peer connection reduces isolation and builds trust through shared lived experience and is essential to recovery.
