Veterans, Active Duty, First Responders

ATP is focused on improving the quality of life for our veterans, active duty military, and first responders through our specialized division Aurelius! Through Aurelius, ATP helps individuals chase a better tomorrow through a holistic mind, body, and soul program while forging their path to peak performance. Our freedom and safety would not be possible without the sacrifices that the members of our armed services and first responders make, which is why we are here - to give back to those who sacrifice for our freedom. Our 12 week program incorporates both physical and mental health services confidentially and free of charge for veterans and first responders living with Depression and/or Post Traumatic Stress. For more information on applying for the Aurelius Program, reach out to Aurelius program director, Nick Hall, at Nick@adventurestraining.org or call (330)921-5041.

Neurological Disorders

Neurological disabilities include a range of disorders, such as epilepsy, learning disabilities, neuromuscular disorders, autism, ADD, brain tumors, and cerebral palsy, just to name a few. Some neurological conditions are congenital, emerging before birth.

Spinal Cord Injuries

If you've recently injured your spinal cord, it might seem like every aspect of your life has been affected. You might feel the effects of your injury mentally, emotionally, and socially. We are here to help! We have resources and a team of people ready to help in all aspects of your journey.

Chronic Pain & Disease

Those suffering with chronic pain and disease are largely underserved due to the lack of insurance coverage for long term care. ATP's training programs and adventures seek to bring back quality of life to those who need it most through science-backed regimens, a state of the art training center, and a world-class team dedicated to service. This is accomplished through ATP’s Mind.Body.Soul (™) program.

Mind

Chronic Stress and trauma can take massive tolls on emotional and mental health. ATP's movement and resistance training is a frontline offense against depression and anxiety. Moving the body releases endorphins which in turn relieves stress, increases serotonin levels which lead to improved mood and energy levels, and enhances quality of sleep and in turn, recovery, which are all critical factors to mental wellbeing. ATP's complex movement patterns also improve cognitive function and sensory integration.

Body
