More than a gym—
it’s a lifeline,
a support system,
and a mission of gratitude.

To say Revolution Fitness changed my life wouldn’t be enough. The truth is—Bill, Shaun, Jon, and this community saved it . . . Today, I walk tall. I live with purpose. I know my worth. And now, I strive to help others who are still in the hole, so they know they’re not alone—and that there’s always a way out.

Having worked in public safety for over 22 years, I was diagnosed with PTSD . . . and placed on medication that caused me to gain 60 pounds in just a month. When I started training with Jon, our focus was on strengthening my back due to multiple injuries . . . After a specialist told me I needed to lose weight, [Jon and I] developed a diet plan focused on high-quality foods and the right macros.
I started at 350 pounds . . . I’m down to 280—a 70-pound loss! I feel great, my self-confidence has improved, and I give all the credit to the incredible team at Revolution Fitness.

Get Involved

Help Us Reach Those Who Serve

Military and first responder communities often suffer in silence from stress, injury, and burnout. Revolution Fitness provides a safe, supportive space to rebuild strength—physically and mentally—and reclaim overall well-being.

But we can’t do it alone.

We imagine a nation where every service member and first responder has access to the tools they need to not just survive—but thrive. We believe wellness is not a luxury—it's a right for those who protect and serve.

Together, we can create a nation where those who serve are fully supported—body, mind, and spirit.

We're currently planning our next wave of events.

At Revolution Fitness, we are proud to call the Travis Mills Foundation a friend and partner in this work. As one of Maine’s most respected nonprofits with a proven track record, it is our privilege to connect those we serve with resources of such high caliber. We have not only built meaningful relationships with their team, but have also referred multiple clients to the PATHH program for healing—one of whom went on to become an employee there. The dedication of the Travis Mills Foundation to helping veterans and first responders regain their health, purpose, and quality of life is truly inspiring to us all.
