Ready to take the most authentic bootcamp class of your life?

Through Troops for Fitness, U.S. military veterans will teach bootcamp, Zumba, and other fitness classes for free in parks across the country this summer. The unique partnership between the National Recreation and Park Association and Coca-Cola (yes, Coca-Cola) aims to use the veterans’ example to build stronger, healthier communities nationwide.
