Theoretical Constructs and Behavioral Strategies for Promoting Adherence and Compliance

SCT Domain	Warrior Wellness intervention component
Favorable expectations about future outcomes associated with increased activity	Review perceived benefits, modify and reinforce realistic expectations
	Intervention duration (12 weeks): It takes ~60 days for a new behavior to become a habit, and 12 weeks is the minimum duration associated with functional improvements
Self-efficacy to initiate changes in physical activity	Discuss gym environment, review and troubleshoot perceived barriers (physical, psychological, social, logistical)
Monitoring by exercise physiologist and self	Personalized exercise prescription, weekly exercise logs, biometric data, frequent “check-ins”
Goal setting/action planning	Set S.M.A.R.T. goals, PA contract, attendance goals
Social support	Derived from exercise physiologist or similar others (other study participants) in addition to social network
Positive reinforcement	Iterative incentives (water bottle, towel, silicone bracelet), attendance award, end-of-study feedback forms for participants
