After serving more than a decade in the Army, including tours of Afghanistan and Kuwait, Matthew Jeffries was forced to change his career path after sustaining injuries during training for special forces.

In 2018, Army recruiters fell short of recruitment goals by more than 6,500 troops. The shrinking number of eligible recruits is now costing the military millions of dollars and contributing to a national security crisis.

Jeffries has developed a solution by creating a patented app aimed at helping military recruits meet fitness goals and become eligible for military service.

As recruiters are working harder every day, an innovative company like Warfighter Fitness is invaluable. Read the USA Today story “Military pool of recruits is drying up”.
