area of business, and a 14.8% increase from our Health Management area of
business," said Jerry Noyce, Health Fitness Corporation CEO and President.

of business, and a 16.0% increase from our Health Management area of business.
We believe the recent realignment of our business into Fitness and Health
Management Services was the right strategic move for us. It definitely has

    Financial Highlights for Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

    -- The decrease in Fitness Management Staffing revenue for the second
       quarter and year-to-date is attributed to higher-than-normal revenue
       attrition from contracts that were acquired in December 2003. Since
       contract attrition can be unpredictable, the Company generally does not
       view short-term changes in contract revenue to be indicative of future
       results, or a trend in the business. New contracts the Company secures
       may take 90 to 180 days to generate full revenue. On the other hand,
       many of the Company's contracts can be terminated with a 30 day notice.
       Because this timing difference can temporarily sway revenue results one
       way or another, the Company generally evaluates prospective revenue
       trends over a 12 to 18 month period.

    -- Fitness Management Program Services are fee-for-service revenues we
       earn at managed fitness centers for services such as personal training,
       massage therapy, weight loss programs and specialty fitness classes.
       The increase in this revenue category for the second quarter and year-
       to-date is attributed to higher utilization of these services by
       fitness center members.

    -- The growth of Health Management Staffing Services revenue for the
       second quarter and year-to-date is due primarily to new contracts to
       manage corporate wellness programs and growth of existing programs.

    -- Health Management Program Services include revenue derived from
       providing employee health risk assessments, biometric screening
       services, health data collection and management and electronic health
       education platform. The increase in this revenue category for the
       second quarter and year-to-date is attributed to higher utilization of
       these services by existing customers as well as new customers.

    -- Gross profit as a percent of revenue decreased to 25.2% for the second
       quarter, from 26.2% for the same period last year. This decrease is due
       primarily to contract terminations and business pricing pressures. Year
       to date gross profit as a percent of revenue increased to 25.4%, from
       25.3% for the same period last year. This increase is primarily due to
       lower medical costs for full-time employees in the first quarter, which
       were offset by contract terminations and business pricing pressures in
       the second quarter.

    -- Interest expense decreased $112,019 and $234,347 for the second quarter
       and six months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease is primarily due to
       the repayment of our 12%, $2 million Senior Subordinated Note in
       December 2004.

    -- Long-Term Obligations decreased $1,551,014 to $22,774
       for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, from $1,573,788 for the quarter
       ended March 31, 2005.
