IHRSA, the health club trade association protects clubs in all 50 states from legislation and taxes that would make club operations difficult.

4. Laws are being
proposed that not
only increase
barriers to
exercise,
but are
extremely
dangerous to club
operations.

5. What would
happen to your
club, or your
members…
If your state
imposed a sales
tax on your clubs
dues or services?

6. What would
happen to your
club, or your
members…
If your personal
trainers were no
longer considered
qualified to work
in your state?

7. What would
happen to your
club, or your
members…
If you were no
longer able to
automatically
renew your
membership
contracts?

8. IHRSA cannot and does not fight this
alone.
An engaged industry with a united voice
from all types of fitness businesses makes
the biggest difference.
Help support IHRSA’s efforts today!

9. IHRSA’s recent record stopping
hazardous legislation:
• 105 wins, 3 losses.
• If even one of those proposals to tax membership, regulate
personal trainers or prohibit automatic renewals had gone
into effect, health clubs would be operating in a very different
climate today.
Together We’re
Stronger!
Together – as an
industry united –
we can increase
physical activity,
and help the health
club industry thrive.
