More Than Fitness: Building Strong Bodies, Resilient Minds, and Unbreakable Spirits

More Than Fitness

In a world where mental health challenges, stress, and emotional strain weigh heavily on today’s youth, More Than Fitness (MTF) was born out of a simple yet powerful belief: that physical strength must be matched with mental resilience and emotional wellness.

Founded by a U.S. Army Veteran who was injured and disabled during a tour in Afghanistan in 2012, MTF is more than just a fitness program—it’s a mission. A mission to equip young people with the tools they need to not just survive—but to thrive.

Mind. Body. Spirit.

Through structured programming that combines fitness, meditation, mindfulness, and personal growth, More Than Fitness has already helped over 400 young people in Wilmington and greater Delaware reclaim control of their lives and begin walking a path of strength, healing, and hope.

These aren’t just workouts. These are life-changing interventions. Every rep, every breath, and every quiet moment of mindfulness helps build the foundations of self-confidence, discipline, and inner peace.

An Oasis for Growth

Located on a beautiful 8-acre property in NCC Park, MTF offers a sanctuary unlike any other—featuring open green spaces, two baseball fields, a historic 1800s home, and a fully equipped 3,000 sq ft gym. This is where transformation happens. This is where youth are empowered to find their voice, develop leadership skills, and discover their unbreakable spirit.

None of this is possible without the unwavering support of our donors, partners, and advocates. Your generosity enables us to continue providing free and low-cost programming to the communities that need it most—especially as mental health needs rise post-pandemic.
