Based in the United Kingdom, Operation Fitness is an open-air exercise program that is affordable for a wide range of individuals. It's a great time to get out in the outdoors and move your body.
What is more, the enterprise has officially partnered with the Armed Forces Recovery Career Service. Founder Gavin Baxter told Virgin United that his goal is to help military veterans as they adjust to civilian life whether it is through treating post-traumatic stress disorder or simply allowing for a community to form through fitness.
This enterprise is a service that melds social good with fun -- and there's no doubt that more of both are needed.
