Get Fit and Get Heard: IHRSA Fly-In Brings Fitness Industry Leaders to Capitol Hill

Krissy Vann | Host, All Things Fitness and Wellness

Join us for an exclusive look at the IHRSA Fly-In and Advocacy Summit, where fitness industry leaders from across the country gathered in Washington D.C. to advocate for policies that support health and wellness. This year's summit focused on the PHIT Act, which stands for Personal Health Investment Today Act, and aims to make physical activity more affordable for Americans.

The PHIT Act would allow individuals to use pre-tax dollars from their Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) to pay for qualified fitness expenses such as gym memberships, exercise equipment, and youth sports leagues. By making it more affordable for Americans to engage in physical activity, the PHIT Act can help improve overall health and wellness while also reducing healthcare costs.

Hosted by the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association (IHRSA), the Fly-In brought together fitness industry leaders, policymakers, and advocates to discuss the importance of physical activity and its impact on overall health and wellness. With IHRSA at the helm, the summit provided an opportunity for the fitness industry to make its voice heard on Capitol Hill and advocate for policies that support a healthier future.

In this video, we'll take you behind the scenes at the IHRSA Fly-In and hear from industry leaders on the specifics of the PHIT Act and how it can make physical activity more accessible and affordable for all Americans. From inspiring speeches to engaging discussions, this event was a testament to the resilience and determination of the fitness industry and its commitment to promoting health and wellness for all.
