Every year, SFIA's National Health Through Fitness Day brings together industry leaders, celebrity athletes, the American College of Sports Medicine, PHIT Coalition partners, PE teachers and other physical activity advocates to meet with Congress to push for physical activity policies, including the PHIT Act, to promote sports health and fitness in America.
The time is NOW to harness the positive momentum behind the PHIT Act and urge Congress to promote health by eliminating barriers to physical activity to address the inactivity pandemic plaguing America.

What is the PHIT Act?
The Personal Health Investment Today (PHIT) Act would allow consumers to pay for physical activity expenses (from gym fees to sports equipment) using funds in pre-tax medical accounts (Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Savings Accounts). Consumers would see a 20-37% discount on sports related expenses.
The PHIT Act would make any expense exclusively intended for the sole purpose of being physically active eligible for FSA/HSA reimbursement
The PHIT Act Covers
- Youth & Adult Sports League Fees
- School Pay-to-Play Sports Fees
- Gym & Health Club Membership Dues
- Exercise & Yoga Classes
- Personal Trainers
- Bike Rentals
- Sports & Fitness Equipment
- Sport-Exclusive Footwear
- Tournament & Race Registration Fees
- Youth Camps
- Fitness Tracking Devices
- & Much More!
