AAPTE Joins Forces to Support Military Families

The (AAPTE) recently announced its commitment to Joining Forces, a national initiative providing fitness professionals the opportunity to show their gratitude to our service members and their families.

Joining Forces supports actively deployed National Guard, Reservists and their immediate families by encouraging fitness professionals to pledge personal training services to these individuals, thereby enriching their overall quality of life and health through fitness.

Eligible military families can find participating personal trainers in their area online by visiting www.aapte.org and clicking on the Joining Forces banner.

With a collective goal to pledge 1 million hours of fitness services, the Academy of Applied Personal Training Education (AAPTE) is pleased to join an elite list of fitness service providers around the nation in support of this important initiative.

“Our military and their families make the ultimate sacrifice every day,” said Vincent Carvelli, President of AAPTE and an East Meadow resident. “Joining Forces is a special opportunity to give back in a way that will positively impact the overall physical and emotional health of these families who deal with an insurmountable amount of stress on a daily basis. AAPTE will continue to encourage our certified exercise and fitness professionals to donate services until the Joining Forces goal of one million hours is reached.”
