IHRSA (International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association) is a global community of health and fitness professionals with over 8,000 member clubs in 70+ countries).

John Holsinger (Director, IHRSA Asia Pacific) and Richard Beddie (CEO, Exercise Association of New Zealand and Chair, ICREPS) facilitated the program organized in GOA on 1st September 2018. Mr. John Holsinger said that they are excited to work with UHFF to grow & support the Indian Fitness Industry.

IHRSA joined with lead sponsor Precor and their local Indian distributor TIFC (The India Fitness Connect) to work together with UHFF by creating an agenda and environment for sharing and cooperation. The motive of UHFF is "Together For Fitness" which is aimed at bringing results by members working together to reduce the impact of negative common issues, speak with one voice to the public, media, and government, and bring a greater degree of professionalism to the fitness industry in India. Key on the strategic plan is now to widen the awareness of this initiative throughout India and bring in club owners from across the nation to join these collective efforts."
