The best part? Many of these life-enhancing services come at little to no cost. Say goodbye to stress and hello to a vibrant, rejuvenated you! And don’t worry, you don’t have to be a veteran to enjoy these amazing wellness perks.

Whether you’re a workout warrior or a newbie, there are machines, weights, and a self-guided yoga area for everyone! Memberships start at just $15/month for veterans and $20/month for the community.

Electro- and Light Therapy: Perhaps the VWC’s coup de grâce is its ultra-zen Wellness Room.

A 30-minute session is just $10 and can be customized to treat your specific wellness concerns. Bonus: Wellness Room sessions are FREE for the month of September! Book your session here.- Woman-Owned Coffee Bar: When you walk into the Veteran Wellness Center, you’ll find yourself in one of the most peaceful (and Insta-worthy, in our opinion) community spaces in San Antonio. Part workspace, part hang-out, the Connectedness Space is open to all and boasts a woman-veteran-owned coffee bar that is to die for. Reveille Coffee Co. is open from 8 a.m.-12 p.m. every weekday and offers an extensive menu of hot drinks, smoothies, post-workout protein shakes, and pastries. It’s the perfect spot for remote work or meeting up with a friend!
- Local Wellness Experts: The Veteran Wellness Center is home to a full spectrum of providers, making it your one-stop destination for all things wellness. Need a headache clinic? Physical therapy? Legal counsel? After your light therapy session, head into the Headache Clinic of San Antonio, Flagship Health, Outcomes Therapy, Total Insights Psychiatry, TMLA Insurance, or Marc Whitehead & Associates.
- A Zen Mid-Errand Break: Located near UTSA and Barnes & Noble, the VWC is perfect for escaping the crowd during errands, with or without your kids! Sip your coffee, let your child engage with nature at the live moss wall, or play a table game together in the connectedness space. This beautifully designed space has tons of natural lighting and live plants, and is perfect for recharging at any point during your crazy day!
