About Us
Our lack of essential status has placed all forms of fitness facilities in a precarious position. Without this designation, we will be forever vulnerable as an industry. The business of fitness needs a unifying organization willing to pivot and adapt to navigate this new landscape. The USFC has formed ongoing relationships with the Department of Health and the Department of labor to develop industry-standard cleaning protocols and fitness certifications. We will also work with Government in improving the physical health of all our Americans and fight for the financial relief needed to rebuild our industry.
“As the former President of TITLE Boxing Club for 6 years, I fully support the United States Fitness Coalition and their mission. Their mission of aligning the industry with cleaning and safety protocols with consultation and support in order to become labeled as essential is critical. I fully understand, support and back their mission its time we all go from survival to revival with their leadership”

In a rapidly changing information environment it can leave people wondering What is Safe?
We went back to the basics and took the technology that the Department of Health always used to test hospitals, bars, restaurants and other industries for sanitation standards and applied that information to fitness establishments. Simply put, the gyms are tested by an Occupational Health Safety Expert to ensure that they don’t only claim to be clean but they are verified for safety that you can trust.
