Veterans at Powerhouse Racing
Keith Montague
“As a disabled veteran and recovering alcoholic, my journey with Powerhouse has been life-changing, both physically and mentally.“
“When I first joined Powerhouse, I struggled with poor health and low self-confidence. Training for triathlons has profoundly impacted my life, boosting my self-esteem and giving me pride and accomplishment. The structured sessions have improved my mental health, time management, and organizational skills. The incredible support from fellow athletes and coaches has been crucial for my personal growth. Pushing through tough training sessions has taught me resilience and perseverance. My passion for triathlon training has become essential for my overall well-being. I’m grateful for this transformative journey and excited to continue growing with Powerhouse.“
“After serving as a U.S. Marine, I found my sense of purpose in triathlons and training with Powerhouse. The camaraderie and shared goals remind me of my time in the Corps, providing the positive accountability I missed. Endurance sports like triathlon have improved my mental health and quality of life, and I believe other veterans could benefit from joining Powerhouse Patriots.”

“I’m a nearly 40-year-old married mother of two, and a former junior high and high school track athlete who took a 15-year break to focus on my career and family. This March, I couldn’t walk a mile, but I had a goal: run a half marathon by October. With Johnny’s guidance, I’ve made incredible progress. In just four months, I went from struggling to walk to running 7 miles comfortably. Despite a setback with COVID, his support has been crucial. As a registered nurse with nearly 10 years of experience, running has provided me an essential outlet to manage the challenges of my work. What started as a physical goal has transformed into a journey of mental, emotional, and spiritual growth, making me better in every aspect of my life.”

“In the years I have spent training and racing with Powerhouse, I have not only become a better athlete but I have also found a sense of purpose in my local community that makes me proud. “
“After serving as a Marine Sergeant, maintaining fitness was essential for my career. Post-service, I struggled without physical goals, impacting my mental health. Discovering triathlon restored my sense of purpose, mirroring the camaraderie and accountability I experienced in the Corps. Training with Powerhouse has been incredibly fulfilling, and I believe many veterans could benefit from endurance sports like triathlon, with Powerhouse Patriots providing perfect support.
“After retiring from the Texas Air National Guard in 2015, I struggled with the loss of structure and gained over 20 lbs, experiencing back issues and poor eating habits. Joining Powerhouse in 2019 helped me set and achieve fitness goals, like completing a 70.3 Triathlon. The program improved my health, reducing back pain and weight, and sharpening my mind. The support from Coach Johnny and the Powerhouse community made training enjoyable. This experience even inspired my wife to participate in 5Ks. Powerhouse has helped me adopt a sustainable healthy lifestyle, providing camaraderie and structure similar to military life.”
