Stand Strong Training Center is the fortunate result of a very unfortunate accident. In September of 2014, exactly one month after we (Matt & Lindsay) had our first child, Matt was in a kayaking accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. He spent 2 months in the hospital, was released into outpatient rehabilitation until insurance ran out, and we were then left with no other wellness options and no hope from the doctors of Matt ever walking again. As a very active couple, it was this moment that we recognized the immense void for individuals suffering from life altering injuries to continue with their recovery, as well as their health and fitness.
Rather than be discouraged, we embraced our underdog status and relished the opportunity to beat the odds. We continued to work towards Matt's goal of walking again and, with the help of our community and Hope for Helm, we relocated to Michigan for roughly two years. There, Matt continued his recovery alongside both able-bodied athletes and other individuals with a variety of injuries and diagnoses. We worked with knowledgeable trainers who weren't afraid to think outside the box and believe people have more potential than what doctor's might predict. As a former athlete, Matt thrived in the environment filled with competition and excitement, and we knew we needed to create our own training center back home.
Stand Strong Training Center was born.
Though Matt's accident was unfortunate, it has significantly shifted our perspective on life, on what matters most, and the impact we want to have on others. It has strengthened our focus on faith, family, and community. It has helped us recognize our true passions, and it has given us the courage to pursue our dream to train both athletes and individuals trying to take their lives back. And the best part of all is that we are just getting started, so we hope you'll join us!
