About Us

THE NATIONAL FITNESS HALL OF FAME ASSOCIATION, LLC

The NFHOF Association is the Nation’s premier member-based organization, founded by John Figarelli, in 2004 that recognizes and rewards individuals who have a passion for being fit and helping others, “Get Fit & Stay Healthy.”  Additionally, we are the only organization in the country that provides education about the History of Fitness and offers the Fitness Historian Certification (CFH).

The National Fitness Hall of Fame (NFHOF) recognizes individuals for their career work in the field of fitness and health.  Induction into the National Fitness Hall of Fame is the highest honor a person working in the fitness industry can achieve.  "The Hall" also presents other special awards of merit for top achieving professionals.

NFHOF Museum:  This museum remembers and preserves the past by archiving its fitness memorabilia and producing fantastic online and mobile exhibits that everyone can enjoy.
