Health Fitness Announces Profitable Third Quarter Results

    MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 13 /PRNewswire/ --
    Health Fitness Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: HFIT) today reported net
income of $182,876, or $0.01 per diluted share outstanding, for the third
quarter ended September 30, 2001, compared to net income of $77,868, or $0.01
per diluted share outstanding, for the same period last year.  For the
nine-months ended September 30, 2001, net income was $862,506, or $0.07 per
diluted share outstanding, compared to net income of $708,219, or $0.06 per
diluted share outstanding, for the same period last year.
    Revenues for the third quarter of 2001 were $6,356,489, compared to
$6,495,863 for the same period last year.  For the nine-months ended
September 30, 2001, revenues were $19,361,661 compared to revenues of
$19,520,005 for the same period last year.
    Jerry Noyce, Chief Executive Officer, said, "Once again, we are pleased to
announce positive results for the third quarter of 2001.  We were able to
achieve increasing operating profits even though we continue to invest in
areas of our business that we believe will allow us to grow.  Also, we
substantially increased our net earnings for the quarter as a result of lower
interest charges, which is attributed to the pay-down of our debt balance as
well as lower interest rates.  These positive outcomes were achieved despite a
down turn in revenue for the quarter, which is attributed to a loss of a
multi-site contract at the beginning of the quarter.  I am confident this lost
business will be replaced within the near future.  As a company, we are fully
committed to the enhancement of shareholder value.  We believe that objective
can be accomplished by pursuing business opportunities that result in market
share penetration and top-line growth."
