WASHINGTON, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Paralyzed Veterans of America launched its Online Fitness + Wellness Program last week, a free new virtual adaptive fitness and wellness program powered by Warrior Strong.
Designed specifically for veterans living with spinal cord injuries and diseases such as multiple sclerosis MS and ALS and their caregivers, this dynamic program offers up to nine weekly classes designed to improve strength, endurance, and hand-eye coordination. Beyond physical fitness, participants gain access to meditation and breathwork sessions that foster stress management and mental health relief. By combining adaptive exercise with holistic wellness practices, the PVA Online Fitness + Wellness Program delivers a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation that enhances resilience and quality of life for disabled veterans across the country.
"By removing accessibility barriers to fitness and wellness and meeting veterans where they are in their fitness and wellness journey, we are not only helping to improve mental and physical fitness, but we are also cultivating a community of mutual support and connection," said Fabio Villarroel, PVA Senior Director of Sports and Recreation. "Warrior Strong's expertise in adaptive fitness and their deep understanding of the veteran community make them the ideal organization to help bring this exciting new program to life."
In addition to the online offerings, veterans are invited to drop in at the Warrior Strong facility in Scranton, Pennsylvania or Morris County, New Jersey, to join classes in person.
"At Warrior Strong, we are dedicated to helping veterans reconnect with their physical, mental, and emotional strength," said Tom Vice, CEO and Founder of Warrior Strong. "Working with PVA allows us to expand that mission even further, by ensuring that every veteran, no matter their mobility level, has access to the tools and community they need to thrive."
Veterans and their caregivers are invited to view the full class schedule and register to begin their fitness and wellness journey today. To learn more, visit: Pva.org/sports-recreation/online-programs.
