About the FIA
The FIA is the health and fitness industry trade association and works to promote best practice within health clubs and leisure centres, as well as to guide the public towards improved health and wellbeing. The FIA represents almost 2,500 private and public multi- and single-site fitness organiations.

The FIA works closely with government, specifically with the Department of Health, the Department of Culture, Media and Sport and the Department of Trade and Industry, to increase activity levels in the consumers who do not participate in any regular activity.

The FIA code of practice has been put in place to help clubs an centres ensure they deliver a defined level of service. The ultimate aim of the government-recognised code of pratice, is to raise and maintain the standards of the clubs and centres across the UK.
