Fort Gregg-Adams, VA — SFC Joseph Swartz was named the winner of the 2025 Fit for Duty Challenge after making significant lifestyle changes to improve his health and appearance.

Swartz lost 8.3% body fat, 19.3 pounds of fat mass, and gained 1.6 pounds of fat-free mass. He credits the Armed Forces Wellness Center for providing valuable support and resources throughout his transformation.
