The Morgan County Wellness Center, known as “The Well” has announced a new initiative dedicated to honoring and supporting local military veterans.
Effective immediately, veterans are eligible to receive one free personal training session, made possible through a generous grant from the Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation’s Frank C. Fischer Veterans Fund.
Recognizing the unique physical needs of those who have served, this program allows veterans to jumpstart their fitness journey with professional guidance at no cost. To take advantage of this offer, veterans must register and select the trainer that best fits their personal health goals. 
“Physical fitness is a huge part of the discipline and strength required to serve our country, and that commitment to fitness shouldn’t have to end when you retire,” said County Commission President Joel Tuttle.
Meet the Training Experts
Veterans can choose to work with one of two certified trainers at The Well:
–Donatella Bennet: Specializing in clients aged 55+, Bennett focuses on functional fitness. Her sessions are designed to help individuals maintain mobility and strength to navigate day-to-day life with ease.
–Nathaniel Spring: Specializing in Strength and Conditioning, Spring offers high-intensity training for those looking to push their physical limits and build robust muscular endurance.
The Morgan County Commission is introducing a 10%
discounted Wellness Center membership rate for active-duty military and veterans.
“We are incredibly grateful to the Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation and the Morgan County Commission for their partnership,” said Matt Pennington, Wellness Center Director. “One of our goals is to ensure that those who serve our country have the resources they need to remain healthy, active, and connected to their community.”
