Florida Warrior Health and Fitness

The Florida Warrior Health and Fitness program empowers Warriors to take control of their physical well-being, helps them overcome pre-existing injuries and provides a portal to more complex care for those in need of treatment for invisible wounds. It is designed to help Veterans and Service Members improve their physical health and well-being through supervised physical exercise, nutrition, stress management and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

Through our partnerships at Florida Gulf Coast University and Tampa General Hospital, participants benefit from working with medical and wellness providers to make informed choices that promote lifelong health. This free, 90-day program is currently available in Southwest Florida and Tampa.

Program management, recruitment and exercise programming is overseen by Home Base Florida Wellness Manager and post-9/11 Marine Corps Veteran Jaime Fernandez, CSCS.
