About Us
The Health & Fitness Association is the only global non-profit trade association dedicated to protecting, promoting, and growing the health and fitness industry.
Driving Health Through Movement and Community
Medical experts and scientific evidence affirm that physical activity improves both physical and mental health, and psychologists point to the value of social connections beyond the home and workplace to reduce loneliness and foster belonging.
All of this is at the heart of the health and fitness industry’s existence: helping people lead healthier, more fulfilling lives through movement and community.
Our mission is to support that impact by advocating for the industry, delivering action-oriented research, and providing education that drives professional growth.
