Health & Fitness:
An Economic Engine

The impact exercise has on physical and mental health is well-documented, but the health and fitness industry’s economic impact across the globe and in our local communities is undervalued. Facilities of every size and type exist in nearly every town. They are places to exercise, learn, push limits, and create connections with like-minded people committed to improving their quality of life.
