Invictus Gymnastics and Therapy was named after the poem Invictus by William Ernest Henley. The poet writes this poem while after just losing a leg. He is filled with physical and mental agony, yet finds courage from his understanding that he has control over his feelings and destiny, no matter the circumstances. Through his unconquerable mindset, Invictus defined who he was. Our athletes and participants have the ability to be courageous and succeed as they practice mindfulness, agility, and perseverance. We strive to provide a unique experience and opportunity to those of all abilities.

From the words of Invictus by William E. Henley;
"I am the master of my fate,​
I am the captain of my soul."
