Merging Vets & Players
Founded in 2015 by FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer and former Green Beret and Seattle Seahawk Nate Boyer, MVP is built on a simple truth: when the uniform comes off, veterans and former athletes fight the same fight — loss of team, loss of identity, loss of mission. MVP puts you back on a team.
Every free weekly session pairs a real workout with “The Huddle,” a facilitated peer-to-peer circle where members talk transition, share the load, and hold each other accountable. No cost, no paperwork, no judgment — just show up.
