Health Fitness Announces Profitable Results for 2000

    MINNEAPOLIS, March 28 /PRNewswire/ --
    Health Fitness Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: HFIT) today reported net
income of $930,169, or $0.07 per diluted share outstanding for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2000, compared to a net loss of $2,826,904, or
$(0.24) per diluted share outstanding for the same period in 1999.
    Revenues for 2000 remained constant at $26,190,671 compared to
$26,195,110 for 1999.
    Operating income for 2000 increased to $1,648,142 from $27,788 for 1999 as
a result of decreased operating expenses across the entire company.  The
company also incurred $380,103 in re-engineering expenses during 2000 related
to the company's turnaround efforts that began in 1999.
    Jerry Noyce, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Considerable
progress has been made over the last two years to improve the financial and
competitive position of the Company.  The turnaround process the Company
pursued, which is now essentially complete, has allowed us to focus on
managing and growing our core business of providing fitness and wellness
services to the corporate, hospital and community-based fitness markets.  2000
was a pivotal year for us, and we are quite pleased to be able to announce
four straight quarters of profitability.  With a stable foundation now in
place, we feel the Company is well-positioned to capitalize on the
opportunities that exist in the markets we serve."
    For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2000, the Company recorded net
income of $221,953, or $0.01 per diluted share outstanding, compared to a net
loss of $147,034, or $(0.01) per diluted share outstanding for the same period
a year ago.  Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2000 were $6,670,956 compared
to $6,429,786 for the same period last year.  Gross profit improved to
$1,551,265 in the fourth quarter of 2000 compared to $1,456,554 in the fourth
quarter of 1999.  Operating expenses, including interest expense, decreased to
$1,304,624 compared to $1,523,785, which is primarily due to a decrease in
interest expense related to decreased borrowings and the refinancing of notes
payable in July 2000, as well as the benefits derived from expense reductions
coming from the Company's turnaround efforts.
    Health Fitness Corporation is one of the nation's leading providers of
corporate health, fitness, recreation and occupational health services and
medically based community wellness programs.  The company has been serving
customers since 1975 and has more than 150 customer sites across the United
States and Canada.
    This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding
management's belief that the Company's turnaround efforts are essentially
complete, and that the Company's core business has been strengthened for
future growth.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the
various factors affecting the Company's operations and financial condition
discussed in the section titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained within the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.  There is no
assurance that the Company will be able to capitalize on any of its plans
regarding future growth of the Company.
