EHFA expands its reach
The European Health and Fitness Association (EHFA) has expanded its reach to 23 countries.
The association has secured agreements with three national associations to take the number of facilities within its membership base to 9,054.
The three new additions are the German fitness employers association Deutsche Sportstudio Verband (DSSV); The Irish Institute of Leisure Amenity Management (ILAM); and Polski Zwiazek Fitness & Wellness (PZFW), the sector association from Poland.
Herman Rutgers, executive director, said: "We have a very ambitious five year plan, which will be unveiled at our next General Assembly in Essen, Germany on 23 April 2010.
"We need a maximum support from all key stakeholders in Europe in order to accomplish this plan. Our reach is now through 16 National Associations, and we are supporting them from Brussels.
"There are still a number of countries where no national association exists and it is our goal to help these countries to establish good industry representation."
