Romaniaactive

Leading health & fitness companies in Romania have joined their forces to launch RomaniaActive, the Romanian Health Fitness Association (RHFA), a strong initiative that is designed to promote the interests of all organisations which work towards getting more people, more active, more often. The newly established association works in alliance with EuropeActive, the leading voice representing the European fitness sector, other European committees and also IHRSA, the Global Health & Fitness Association, to make sure that its members are at the fore-front of all new legislative changes concerning the health & fitness sector and are also involved in the development of these changes. An important objective of RomaniaActive is to draw the attention of the public opinion that the health & fitness sector had to manage on its own since the beginning of the pandemic, not having a real support from the authorities. The CAEN codes of the operators in the field were not included in the state aid schemes initiated by the Government. All nine founding members of Romania Active, representing World Class, StayFit, Viva Sports Club, SmartFit, Stejarii Country Club, 4Moving, Elite Gym, Lotus Sport, Habit 30 Fitness, are committed to contribute to the growth of the health, fitness and physical activity sector from a current penetration rate of 4,2 % to above 7 % of active members of the Romanian population by 2025. The association provides services and facilitates partnerships for a broad range of organisations and companies, all of which are committed to the same objective and have a role to play in achieving it.
