The mission

People do not need more information. They need a structure that holds.

Body Ops is a fitness and health coaching practice built to help service members, veterans, and the wider communities your organization serves feel better in their bodies and function better in their lives.

We designed it around the barriers military populations actually face: service-connected disability, old injuries, chronic pain, mental health, and age-related limitations. Coaching meets people where they are, builds confidence safely, and focuses on progress they can feel. Less pain, more energy, better sleep, better movement, and a sense of momentum again.

We stay in our lane. Delivery is health education and fitness instruction, with clear boundaries, psychologically safe design, and physically appropriate programming.

Matt Priess, Marine Corps veteran and owner of Body Ops Coaching

"I built it because I hit rock bottom after service, physically broken, mentally lost, and ashamed of what I saw in the mirror."

What your organization receives

We take care of the program so you can take care of your people.

Body Ops organizes and fulfills the work from program design through delivery and reporting. Your organization gets one accountable partner, and the people you serve get consistent support.

  1. 01

    A complete program designed around your population, priorities, schedule, and delivery environment.

  2. 02

    Live virtual delivery that expands access, with on-site classes available when the contract requires them.

  3. 03

    Credentialed practitioners selected for the scope, with qualifications verified before placement.

  4. 04

    Programming that can be scaled for different abilities, age groups, fitness levels, and specialized cohorts.

  5. 05

    Participant communication, scheduling, coaching, and support managed as part of the service.

  6. 06

  7. 07

    Consistent delivery, attendance tracking, and aggregated reporting from one accountable vendor.

The gap from engagement to outcome

The programs exist. The follow-through does not.

Availability is not the issue. Engagement and retention are. Accountability is the missing infrastructure.

Littman AJ, et al., Preventing Chronic Disease, 2012. Wadden TA, et al., Obesity, 2009. Uusitupa M, et al., Nutrients, 2019.

More than half of MOVE! participants had two visits or fewer. Most participants never receive enough dose to change an outcome. Body Ops is designed as the non-clinical accountability layer that closes that gap.

Reference feedback

Two references rated us Excellent in September 2026.

Rated Body Ops Coaching Excellent in both Quality of Service and Business and Customer Relations on a United States Army past performance questionnaire, September 2026.

"I would like to add a positive comment regarding Matt and his program that we as a high school hockey team participated in during the January 2013 to May 2015 time frame. Not only did the teams performance trend upwards in both strength and endurance but in had the effect in a drastic downward trend in injuries playing games and in practice. Matt also instilled a sense of discipline and confidence in these young men and women at a very important time in their lives. I coached the team for several years and the only regret I had was I should have reached out to Matt and his program earlier."
