    MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Health Fitness Corporation

quarter and six months ended June 30, 2004.
    For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, revenue increased 69.8% to
$13,129,715 from $7,732,626 for the same quarter last year.  Gross profit
increased 117.7% to $3,442,358 from $1,581,142 for the same quarter last year.
As a percent of revenue, gross profit increased to 26.2% compared to 20.4% for
the second quarter last year.  Net earnings applicable to common shareholders
increased 116.6% to $470,754 from $217,333 for the same quarter last year.
Net earnings per diluted share of $0.03 increased 50% from $0.02 per diluted
share for the same quarter last year.
    For the six months ended June 30, 2004, revenue increased 69.1% to
$25,796,089 from $15,250,831 for the same period last year.  Gross profit

earnings per diluted share of $0.05 increased 25% from $0.04 per diluted share
for the same quarter last year.
    Jerry Noyce, HFC CEO and President said the gains in revenue, gross profit
and net earnings applicable to common shareholders is primarily attributed to
HFC's December 2003 acquisition of the Health & Fitness Services Business of
Johnson & Johnson Health Care Systems Inc.  Also contributing to these gains
was growth from HFC's Health Enhancement Program (HEP) services.
    "We are very pleased with our financial performance for the quarter and
six months ended June 30, 2004," Noyce said.  "Our recent acquisition of the
Johnson & Johnson health and fitness business has clearly strengthened our
financial position.  We are also encouraged by the progress being made in
selling HEP services at our managed fitness centers.  As the leading provider
of corporate health management services, our goal is to build upon our current
success by helping companies address the issues of rising healthcare costs and
enable them to establish work environments focused on employee health and
productivity."
