What you’re reaching
Most veterans non profit organizations report how many people they reach. We also report what changed for the veterans who finished, measured with the same clinical tools every month.
The 14.42-point result comes from an independent evaluation by the College of Charleston, run under separate grant funding and not subject to WarriorWOD review before release. Peer review pending. See the independently verified outcomes.
Where we work
WarriorWOD Foundation is headquartered in Charleston, home to our research partners at the College of Charleston and MUSC and our partnership with the SC Department of Veterans Affairs. The program itself is national.
Veterans in 39 states have joined a Warrior Class. They train at a Preferred Partner Gym near home and stay in contact with their Battle Buddy every week. South Carolina veterans and veterans across the country go through the same six months, measured the same way.

US military veterans facing PTSD, suicidal ideation, or substance misuse can apply online. The program runs six months: exercise, nutrition coaching, and a Battle Buddy who completed the program. Email [email protected] with questions before you apply.
Every Warrior is paired with a Battle Buddy: a US military veteran who volunteers to support them through the six-month program. Battle Buddies complete VA S.A.V.E. training, text every week, call every two weeks, and meet face to face when distance allows. Interested veterans can write to [email protected].
Email [email protected] for outcome data, our 990, or the IRS determination letter. Companies exploring sponsorship should write to [email protected]. We share PCL-5 and C-SSRS results measured monthly across 265 program completers.
