Built for the Way Recreation Centers Actually Work
Operate Fit was born from firsthand experience with the daily challenges of running community recreation facilities. We saw directors drowning in paperwork, staff struggling with outdated processes, and organizations exposed to unnecessary risk—all while trying to serve their communities. We built the platform we wished existed.
Our Mission
To give community recreation centers the modern operational tools they deserve—eliminating paper chaos, automating compliance, and freeing staff to focus on what matters: serving their members and communities.
Who We Serve
Operate Fit is purpose-built for community-focused recreation organizations that need to manage compliance, track incidents, and streamline daily operations across multiple locations.
- YMCAs
- JCCs
- Community Rec Centers
- Boys & Girls Clubs
- Camps
- Fitness Clubs
The Problem We Solve
Recreation centers run on paperwork—incident reports, safety inspections, chemical logs, equipment audits, compliance checklists. Most facilities still manage these critical processes with paper forms, spreadsheets, and filing cabinets.
The result? Staff waste hours hunting for forms. Critical documentation gets lost. Compliance deadlines slip. And when something goes wrong, organizations struggle to demonstrate they followed proper procedures.
Operate Fit replaces this chaos with a single platform designed specifically for how recreation centers actually operate—from the front desk to the pool deck to the executive office.

What Makes Us Different
Our Story
From Frustration to Solution
Operate Fit grew from a simple frustration: why do the organizations that serve our communities still rely on clipboards, filing cabinets, and spreadsheets for their most critical operations?
We saw talented directors spending their evenings on paperwork instead of with their families. We saw frontline staff confused about which form to use. We saw risk managers unable to quickly pull incident data when they needed it most.
So we built the platform we wished existed—one that understands the unique workflows of community recreation, from pool chemical logs to behavior reports to emergency response plans. The name Operate Fit reflects our belief: recreation centers deserve to operate as effectively as the communities they serve.
