Health Fitness Announces Profitable First Quarter Results

    MINNEAPOLIS, May 15 /PRNewswire/ --
    Health Fitness Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: HFIT) today reported net
income of $457,458, or $0.03 per diluted share outstanding, for the first
quarter ended March 31, 2001, compared to net income of $427,561, or $0.03 per
diluted share outstanding, for the same period a year ago.
    Revenues for the first quarter of 2001 were $6,426,456, compared to
$6,738,891 for the same period last year.  This revenue decrease was primarily
attributed to the sale of the Company's International Fitness Club Network
(IFCN) subsidiary on January 1, 2001.  For the first quarter of 2000, the IFCN
subsidiary contributed approximately $327,000 to total revenues.
    Despite the decline in revenues, net income increased on a comparative
quarterly basis as a result of a decrease in operating expenses and interest
expense, as well as from a one-time gain of approximately $229,000 from the
sale of the IFCN subsidiary.
    Jerry Noyce, Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased to be able to
announce continued improvement in the profitability of the Company.  This
quarter represents five straight quarters of profitability, which is continued
affirmation of the successful turnaround of the business.  Going forward, we
see a number of growth opportunities within our core business of managing
corporate and hospital fitness centers.   We are very confident about the
ongoing process to build Health Fitness into a recognized industry leader."
    Health Fitness Corporation is one of the 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, as well as
the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,
2001.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to capitalize on
any of its plans regarding future growth of the Company.
