The core mission of FitOps is to improve the physical and mental health of veterans by creating purpose and community through the power of fitness. We believe that fitness is transformative to every aspect of our lives, and that a community that encourages a mindset and lifestyle of physical, mental, and emotional health is the way to help veterans achieve greatness in life after they serve.
We don’t believe that any service member starts from scratch professionally when they enter civilian life--in fact, quite the opposite. FitOps is specifically designed to build on the fitness and leadership experience that veterans gained during their time in the service. The result is Certified Veteran Fitness Operatives (CVFOs), who guide themselves, their clients, and their community down a path toward being their personal best in fitness and in life.

0:00.0 | Struck family this week, my good friend Matt Hesse is on the show. |
0:04.1 | You will remember from way earlier in this year, we interviewed Matt Hesse on our first trip down to |
0:10.7 | Bentonville, Arkansas to go to the Fidops camp. |
0:15.4 | This was one of the most powerful weekends of my entire life. We had seven interviews down there and |
0:23.3 | literally was life changing, meeting all of the vets transitioning out of the military |
0:27.6 | into the civilian life and trying to get through some PTSD issues, behavioral health issues, |
0:36.1 | mental health, and I have never been a part of much of the military community, much less the |
0:44.6 | PTSD side of things and understanding what mental health really looks like. |
0:48.8 | And the man that is leading the charge is Matt Hesse, CEO of the Fidops Foundation. |
0:53.9 | And he is one of the biggest thinkers and smartest people in the room. Every time I see him, |
1:05.1 | I learn something. He's just been a phenomenal resource for Barbel Strugged, a tremendous connection |
1:11.4 | to tons of people and it's been a real honor being a part of Fidops Foundation. I truly believe |
1:18.0 | that that entire community of veterans going through Fidops are part of the Strugged family |
1:26.3 | and I feel honored to be a part of it and tell their stories. |
1:32.4 | What they have going on and what we're discussing in the show today last about eight weeks ago, |
1:37.2 | we were down in Arkansas and Bentonville and they have purchased a 400 acre farm out in Arkansas |
1:49.4 | in which they're building a university for military vets specifically to be able to have a home |
1:58.0 | that they can come to learn how to become personal trainers, go through a three week long camp |
2:03.3 | to become a certified personal trainer and then anything beyond that because the fitness realms |
2:10.8 | are so large that they can really take many angles and because of the reach that the Fidops |
2:21.3 | Foundation is building the people that they're bringing in, we've kind of become a little bit |
2:25.6 | of the media wing for them to tell their story which is complete honor but there's so many |
