Logan Spiewak is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and the co‑founder and Executive Director of the Boots to Health Foundation, a nonprofit based in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. He also owns Boots to Health PA, LLC, a wellness studio founded in early 2022. As a Marine veteran, Logan experienced significant personal challenges after his discharge. He turned to physical fitness and mentorship, which became transformative in his recovery journey. This experience inspired him to launch Boots to Health, originally a fitness studio offering personalized training but evolving into a full-fledged nonprofit serving veterans and first responders. Boots to Health provides holistic wellness services at no cost to participants. Its offerings include fitness training, nutrition coaching, life coaching, spiritual counseling, and accountability support—such as daily messaging and weekly check-ins. The organization prioritizes veterans and first responders but is open to everyone in the community seeking physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. Since its founding, Boots to Health has supported more than 150 veterans in South Central Pennsylvania, helping them overcome PTSD, addiction, and the challenges of reentering civilian life via a comprehensive care model. Logan continues to expand impact, exploring opportunities to employ program graduates and deepen community engagement.
