About us
Built on discipline. Driven by hope.
Unbroken Ranks, Inc. is a new nonprofit in Idaho Falls. We help veterans and service members get connected with qualified coaches, trainers, and partners.
Our mission
To help military veterans and service members get connected with qualified coaches, trainers, and partners for health, fitness, and competing on stage.
We don’t coach anyone ourselves. We help you find the right people. As funds allow, we plan to help cover part of coaching costs through partner coaches and trainers. Our long-term goal is to pay a veteran’s first competition entry fee, so money isn’t what keeps you off the stage.
Service builds habits most people never learn: showing up, doing the work, and pushing through when it’s hard. After service, a lot of the structure goes away. The right coach and a clear goal help put it back.
