From the Clarksville Leaf Chronicle
CLARKSVILLE — “PT for PTSD” was the motto of the day at All Rise for Exercise, an event created by the Montgomery County Veterans Treatment Court.
On June 14, Austin Peay’s Foy Fitness Center opened its doors to VTC participants, staff and Judge Kenneth R. Goble Jr.
All Rise for Exercise is a one hour workout session where participants enjoy the benefits of physical activity. They also get to spend time with Judge Goble and VTC staff in a more relaxed environment. Two events have been held so far and more are expected.
Guest speakers from Prime Fitness Clarksville opened with an introduction to healthy choices in workouts and dieting. Sara Kluttz, owner of Prime Fitness Clarksville, led the group in a warm up. After that everyone made use of the Foy Fitness equipment doing various activities at their own pace and level.
“We want VTC participants to make positive choices in how they spend their time and energy," Goble said. "That is why we emphasize PT for PTSD."
