Frequently Asked Questions

Registered warriors and family members can participate in the Physical Health & Wellness (PH&W) program. Contact the WWP Resource Center by phone at 888.WWP.ALUM (997.2586) or 904.405.1213, or email to check eligibility and sign up.

The Physical Health & Wellness Coaching Program begins with a multi-day expo to kick off a warrior’s wellness journey. After the expo, warriors will work with a WWP coach to set tangible goals and participate in multiple coaching calls to discuss progress, challenges, and strategies for success and accountability.

Through movement, nutritional education, coaching, goal-setting, and skill-building, warriors are empowered to make long-term changes toward a healthier life.

The Coaching Program was created to help participants improve their mobility, sleep, nutrition, and overall wellness. However, weight loss is a possible benefit of the program. Wounded Warrior Project’s veterans health and fitness program supports wellness initiatives, educates warriors on proper nutrition, and provides resources to allow them to maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
