"The experience of getting away from home station and focusing near total concentration on physical deficiencies was life changing. Being surrounded by PT's and movement coaches to identify and eliminate imbalances and weaknesses in the kinetic chain was the hallmark of the program. This was much needed and returned me to a holistic style of strength and wellbeing that I had not felt in years. The entire Exos team was knowledgeable, professional, and extremely consistent which was much appreciated. The entire month-long ARD program provided a routine that its member could all succeed and potentially exceed with. Fantastic experience."

“I have been an athlete for 10 years in the SOF community. I have had chronic conditions that have given band aid fixes and have ridden the wave of feeling great to feeling crushed. The providers here have given me tools and are simple yet revolutionary. In the span of seven days, I feel and perform better I am truly impressed by the caliber of people and program here at Exos. I will undoubtedly return.”

“Holistically, the program has allowed me to recover to a point where I can return to duty. The dedicated time away from work and family was crucial. The conditioning, diet, PT, and recovery modalities all combined to make me feel better in mind and body. The positivity of the staff was also critical in my recovery process; I could tell that they really cared. Overall, a great experience. I will recommend and endorse this program to anyone.”

"Excellent program, massive improvements in mobility and function over a short period of time. Most importantly, extensive education was absorbed from all employees with a broad range of subjects. I hope to carry this education back to my place of work and apply it to my daily life. Hopefully increasing functionality and survivability through my next deployments. Thank you to all staff, I hope to return after my next development."

“I have gained a lot from my time at Exos helping my knee, hip, and chest. All the staff were helpful and understanding taking extra time to accommodate my needs, for which I am very grateful. The movement element was particularly helpful and unique to Exos. Thank you for helping to improve my quality of life in preparation for me exiting the military.”

“After 16 years of service and all my experiences having this opportunity at Exos has been pivotal to the next chapter of my career. The level of professionalism and communication, and education given down to every smallest detail of treatment has been phenomenal. Leaving Exos with the confidence and ability to continue my career. Thank you for the opportunity to be my best again.”
