ValorFit.org & Equip Products
Veteran wellness, adaptive fitness, and community supportāthatās what fuels Equip Products. Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with Troy Peterson, founder of ValorFit, to dive into their mission, their current initiatives, and an inspiring journey thatās happening right now: Matt Johnsonās Run Across Texas.
šŖ What Is ValorFit?
ValorFit is more than a gym. Itās a community and a cause. Their mission is to support veterans by helping them re-engage with fitness, build strength (physically and mentally), and access resources tailored to their unique needs. ValorFit offers gym access, fitness programming, and veteran-centered servicesācreating a place where those who served can return to purpose through movement.
In talking with Troy, the passion is clear: ValorFit isnāt just about lifting weightsāitās about lifting lives.
š Run Across Texas: Matt Johnsonās Challenge
One initiative thatās close to their hearts (and is ongoing now) is Matt Johnsonās Run Across Texas. This is no ordinary charity run; itās a test of endurance, resilience, and storytelling. Matt is traversing Texas, mile by mile, raising awareness (and funds) for veteran mental health, adaptive sports, and community efforts like ValorFit.
Troy and I discussed how Equip Products could integrate supportāwhether through gear, promotion, or event collaborations. Because when someoneās pushing their body across state lines, every backing tool matters.
š Why This Partnership Makes Sense
Equip Products and ValorFit share deep alignment: one is building adaptive tools, the other is cultivating veteran wellness through fitness and community. Together, we can:
-
Raise awareness of adaptive tools for veteran athletes
-
Provide Equip gear (straps, Multi Ropesā¢, etc.) to ValorFit programs
-
Publicly support Matt Johnsonās run and share his story through our networks
ā Whatās Next & How You Can Help
-
Follow Mattās run ā see updates, track progress, and help amplify.
-
Support ValorFit ā whether through donations, participation, or gear sponsorship.
-
Stay tuned ā weāll feature more on this partnership, event highlights, and opportunities to get involved.
Because fitness, service, and community donāt stop when your uniform doesāthey evolve. And with ValorFit, Equip Products is proud to be along for the journey.
