Military life demands—and instills—a special blend of patience, discipline, and tireless problem-solving. So does balancing the training, nutrition, and scheduling of an athletic life. It should come as no surprise that many veterans and military spouses have worked at Bodybuilding.com over its 20-year history. We benefit from their contributions daily and take every opportunity to recognize and thank them for their service.

Meet four of our on-staff veterans, each bringing the high standards of the military to their part of our fitness community.
