The Next Chapter
The next chapter of the only global trade association for fitness facilities has begun. With an understanding of exercise's critical role in improving overall health and mental wellness, HFA aims to transform the traditional view of how health and fitness facilities serve consumers.
Whether it’s analyzing consumer trends, compiling best practices, promoting active lifestyles, or defending the interests of gym owners, no trade association does a better job than HFA. And not only do fitness professionals benefit from HFA, anyone who cares about health and fitness does so as well.”

One of the first decisions I made before opening Aquafit was to sign up for an HFA membership. I wanted to ensure that we set high standards from the very beginning. I was aware of the important role that HFA played, and wanted to become recognized, internationally, as an accredited health and fitness center."
Kristen Green
General Manager
Aquafit
The fitness industry is always evolving, and it’s often hard to determine if something new is just a fad or something worth investing in... One effective way to do so is by turning to HFA, a great resource for learning about industry best practices and for developing a network of contacts."

We owe a great deal of our success to IHRSA. One of the secrets of success is to constantly hang out with people who know more than you do. If you’re the smartest guy in the room, you’re in the wrong room. With IHRSA, you’re never the smartest guy in the room."
