“On Veteran’s Day we pause and give thanks to the men and women that lead a life of military service—for the sacrifices they make, and devotion to service,” said Chris Roussos, CEO, 24 Hour Fitness. “As a former member of the military, I am proud of our company’s long term commitment to the military—from providing career opportunities through our Boots24 initiative, to supporting valuable community programs such as Toys for Tots. We’re grateful for each occasion that draws attention to these exceptional citizens.”
24 Hour Fitness is dedicated to supporting the military—providing free workouts for active and retired military on Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day, supporting the Toys for Tots partnership, among other efforts. Additionally, the 24 Hour Fitness career site incorporates messaging specific to military applicants and recruitment efforts—the Boots24 initiative—which has led to the hiring of over 4,000 retired and active members of the military.
