National Fitness Hall of Fame Museum & Institute

Educate * Motivate * Inspire

GENERAL INFORMATION

 

Several years ago, John Figarelli found that little was being done to recognize and remember the efforts that so many have made promoting heath and fitness to the American public.   The National Fitness Hall of Fame (NFHOF) was founded on December 2nd, 2004 to provide a both physical and virtual place, where the lifelong efforts of individuals and organizations are acknowledged and showcased.

 

Mission:  To recognize and support fitness professionals for their dedication to helping others "Get Fit & Stay Healthy" and provide programs and services that helps all individuals achieve a better level of health and fitness.

 

Vision:  The National Fitness Hall of Fame (NFHOF) is a national showcase that recognizes the accomplishment of yesterday’s fitness legends and today's fitness superstars whose passion is to help individuals get fit & stay healthy.
