Health Fitness Announces Profitable First Quarter Results

    MINNEAPOLIS, May 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
    Health Fitness Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: HFIT) today reported net
income of $787,321, or $0.06 per diluted share outstanding, for the first
quarter ended March 31, 2002, compared to net income of $457,458, or $0.03 per
diluted share outstanding, for the same period a year ago.  Revenues increased
$260,938, or 4.1%, to $6,687,394 for the first quarter of 2002, from
$6,426,456 for the same period last year.
    Jerry Noyce, Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our results for the first
quarter of 2002 continue to build upon the financial strength of the company.
Our short-term debt continues to decrease.  Our revenue growth compared to
last year is attributed to new management contracts we secured during the
fourth quarter of 2001.  With our attention focused squarely on sales and
marketing, we have an opportunity to continue this trend of increasing revenue
for the remainder of 2002.  Also, the recognition of our remaining deferred
tax assets will allow us to continue reporting a significant improvement in
net income over prior year results."

management services and programs to corporations, hospitals, communities and

    This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding
management's belief that the company has an opportunity to realize increasing
revenue for the remainder of 2002, and that recognition of deferred tax assets
will cause net income to significantly improve over prior year results.  These
statements should be read in conjunction with the various factors affecting

Results of Operations" contained within the Company's Annual Report on Form

assurance that the Company will be able to capitalize on any of these
forward-looking statements.
