National Independent Health Club Association

Fitness Centers have an opportunity to do business with some of the largest insurance providers and employer groups in the industry! The National Independent Health Club Association works with insurance providers, employer groups and incentive programs that offer a fitness and wellness benefit. We are the clearinghouse that allows individual fitness centers the opportunity to take advantage of these great fitness incentive programs. For insurance providers and employer groups, NIHCA will help manage your fitness incentive programs at the facility level, maintaining the goals and perimeters of each individual program. Participating fitness centers will gain access to an entirely new market – our incentive programs help facilities attract new members and retain their current ones – all without having to offer discounts that hurt your bottom line! Besides being able to offer these great incentives and reimbursement programs, NIHCA members can take advantage of other value-added benefits, such as free webinars and a preferred vendor list. The National Independent Health Club Association, a non-profit organization, has been created to represent independent fitness centers across the nation, work with insurance providers and employer groups on existing or new health management programs.

“Please know that SCHA is very satisfied with NIHCA. We greatly appreciate how EASY you make things for us – the process is so streamlined, the work on our end is minimal, and our members reap many more benefits than just their $20/month by participating. And, NIHCA’s customer service is unmatched! I never hesitate to call or email your team for help troubleshooting. Everyone is so helpful and friendly.”

“It was a pleasure to work with NIHCA during the 2012 Fall Fitness Conference. The staff, attendees, exhibitors and sponsors were all warm and receptive, and extremely professional. The staff was supportive and organized and the venue was fantastic. The attendees were appreciative of the tour, the key note, the breakout sessions and the delicious lunch. This high-quality event is a credit to our fitness industry.”

“Just wanted to thank you for the valuable information on the NIHCA Ways to Promote Webinar. You did a great job! I am definitely one of those who need to revisit and re-promote these incentive programs to the local employers. Once again, Thank you so much! Joining NIHCA is one of the best business moves I’ve made:-)”

Without a doubt every NIHCA staff member emulates an amazing customer experience in everything they do. Not only do our members gain so much through this organization but Planet Fitness employees enjoy communicating with NIHCA staff on a daily basis. They welcome you into their NIHCA family with zero hesitation. The NIHCA Fitness Conference and organization is an exceptional experience for anyone in the fitness industry." Thanks so much!
