▸ THEY SERVED. YOU SERVE THEM BACK
GIVE A VETERAN HIS LIFE BACK IN SIX MONTHS
Your gift puts a combat veteran through the program that brought Chris home. Six months. A Battle Buddy at his side. Recovery you can measure, proven by the College of Charleston.

▸ THEY SERVED. YOU SERVE THEM BACK
YOUR DONATION, THEIR SALVATION
Veterans served us at real cost. Many come home carrying combat stress, and too many face it without a program built to match what actually helps. WarriorWOD gives them one: exercise, nutrition, and a Battle Buddy who has been there. Your donation is what puts a veteran in it.
BE A HERO FOR OUR HEROES
$125 a month funds one veteran's complete six-month recovery: gym membership, 24 nutrition coaching sessions, monthly InBody assessments, and weekly contact with a trained Battle Buddy mentor. Veterans pay nothing.
You are not writing a check into the dark. Every Warrior is measured with the PCL-5 at intake and every month after, so you can see exactly what your gift does. Give once or give monthly. Monthly is what carries a veteran all the way through.
Prefer to start smaller? Even $25 a month, less than a dollar a day, keeps a veteran training.
YOUR SUPPORT IS CHANGING LIVES
Across 265 program completers, PTSD symptom severity fell 38.25%, verified independently by the College of Charleston. The drop held across all four DSM-5 clusters:
None of this happens without you. Your donation provides the gym memberships, the nutrition coaching, and the Battle Buddy mentors that carry a veteran from intake to graduation.
Independent evaluation led by Dr. Katie Trejo Tello, College of Charleston (grant SCTR CES-P UM1TR005294). Peer review pending. Reductions in mean PCL-5 subscale scores, intake to graduation.
▸ THE PROBLEM YOUR GIFT SOLVES
MOST VETERANS NEVER GET AN INTEGRATED PROGRAM
18.2M veterans live in this country. The VA reaches a fraction of them, and most programs are short-term, single-track, and never measure whether a veteran actually got better. WarriorWOD measures every month.
Veterans are nearly twice as likely as their civilian peers to die by suicide. That is the gap. Your monthly gift funds a veteran through the program that closes it.
▸ WHERE YOUR GIFT GOES
$125 A MONTH FUNDS ONE VETERAN'S COMPLETE RECOVERY
The program costs $1,500 per veteran for the full six-month recovery, covered entirely by donors. Veterans pay nothing. Here is exactly what one monthly gift buys.
Membership at a Preferred Partner Gym near the veteran.
24 one-on-one nutrition coaching sessions over six months.
Monthly body-composition scans that track real change.
Weekly contact with a trained, VA S.A.V.E.-certified peer mentor.
▸ HOW RECOVERY WORKS
EXERCISE. NUTRITION. A BATTLE BUDDY WHO WAS THERE
Six months. Twenty-six weeks. A shared start date, shared training, and a shared graduation, run on the military structure veterans already trust. Not clinical. Peer-led. Measured.
▸ WATCH IT IN HIS OWN WORDS
FOR CHRIS, THE HARD PART STARTED AFTER THE SERVICE ENDED
He got his life back through WarriorWOD. Strength work. Real nutrition. A Battle Buddy who served and came out the other side. Chris will tell you what that took. Give him ninety seconds.

▸ EVIDENCE FIRST. ASK SECOND
INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED BY THE COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON.
Independent evaluation led by Dr. Katie Trejo Tello, College of Charleston (grant SCTR CES-P UM1TR005294), not subject to WarriorWOD review before release. Peer review pending. PCL-5 and C-SSRS administered at intake and every month through all 26 weeks.
▸ MEASURED EVERY MONTH
SYMPTOM SEVERITY DROPPED ACROSS ALL FOUR DSM-5 CLUSTERS
Among 265 program completers, overall PTSD symptom severity declined 38.25%. PCL-5 and C-SSRS are administered at intake and every month through all 26 weeks. A continuous clinical record, not a one-time snapshot.
▸ WHO STANDS BEHIND THE DATA
INDEPENDENT PARTNERS. NOT MARKETING.
▸ WHY THIS EXISTS
BUILT BY A MARINE WHO NEEDED IT
Phil Palmer is a Marine combat veteran and Purple Heart recipient who fought in the Battle of Ramadi. He founded WarriorWOD in 2021 because the recovery model he needed did not exist. So he built one to match the research, and then had the research check the results.
