For the present and future success of the fitness industry
We are on the front lines working with members, partners, and federations to secure the present and future success of the health and fitness industry. Together, we advocate for the industry and access to physical activity to increase global health, happiness, and prosperity.
As we’ve seen over the past 30 years, and more intensely these past few years, governments and policy-makers can and do have an enormous effect on our industry and the health of the citizenry—sometimes for good, more often for bad. We seek to maximize the good while minimizing the bad.
