Welcome to the Michigan Fitness Association
About the Michigan Fitness Association Built by Michigan Fitness Leaders
The Michigan Fitness Association brings together fitness center owners, studio operators, trainers, wellness professionals, and industry partners from across the state. MFA gives Michigan’s fitness industry a stronger voice and helps members build successful businesses, connect with peers, and support healthier communities.
The MFA board includes experienced fitness owners and professionals who build the association, share best practices, and support the future of fitness.
The organization began in 2020 as the Michigan Fitness Club Association, created by fitness business owners to address shared challenges, represent the industry, and support fitness facilities during a rapidly changing time. In 2023, it became the Michigan Fitness Association to reflect its broader mission and expanding membership, which now includes fitness centers, studios, trainers, instructors, wellness professionals, and industry partners across Michigan.
What MFA Does
MFA represents fitness businesses before state policymakers, shares industry updates, provides professional development, and creates opportunities for members to connect through events, conferences, and meetups.
The association also promotes the important role physical activity plays in preventive health, mental wellness, mobility, and quality of life.
