Health Fitness Announces Profitable First Quarter Results

    MINNEAPOLIS, May 8 /PRNewswire/ --
    Health Fitness Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: HFIT) today reported net
income of $427,561, or $0.03 per diluted share outstanding, for the first
quarter ended March 31, 2000, compared to a net loss of $1,151,941, or $(0.09)
per diluted share outstanding, for the same period a year ago.  The 1999 net
loss included a $1,425,000 loss from discontinued operations.
    Revenues for the first quarter of 2000 were $6,738,891, compared to
$6,947,658 for the same period last year.  Although revenues from the
company's core business of fitness center management contracts increased, the
growth was offset by an absence of revenues from the occupational health and
physical therapy network divisions which were sold in the third quarter of
1999.
    Despite the decline in revenues, gross profit increased to $1,794,814 in
the first quarter of 2000, compared to $1,765,563 during the same period last
year.  Operating income during the quarter increased to $566,782, compared to
$483,169 in the first quarter of 1999.  These operating improvements were
achieved largely through increases in management contract revenue and
reductions in selling and administrative expense.
    Charles J.B. Mitchell, Jr., acting Chief Executive Officer, said,
"Achieving profitability is an important milestone for Health Fitness.  The
company is beginning to realize significant benefits from the re-engineering
actions taken last year to strengthen its core business and divest its other
divisions.  We are pleased with these results, and believe the company's
turnaround trend will continue.  At the same time, Health Fitness continues to
pursue strategic options for the company in order to strengthen its presence
in the fitness market."
    Health Fitness Corporation of Minneapolis, Minn. manages corporate fitness
centers and hospital-based fitness centers throughout the United States and
provides a wide range of additional health and wellness services to
corporations.
    This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding
management's belief that a turnaround trend will continue into the future 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
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations portion of the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999.  There is no assurance that the company will be able
to implement any of the noted strategic options under consideration.
