                           HEALTH FITNESS CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information. They should be read
in conjunction with the annual financial statements included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. In the opinion
of management, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements include
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair
presentation of the results for interim periods presented. Operating results for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the year ending December 31, 2001. The unaudited condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000 has been derived from the
audited balance sheet as of that date.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated financial
statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Such
reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders' equity as
previously reported.

NOTE 2.   FINANCING

In July 2000, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Coast Business
Credit for a $5.0 million working capital facility. The interest rate on the
loan is prime plus 3.0%, with future reductions based on the achievement of
certain net worth levels after March 31, 2001. Available credit under the loan
is based upon certain profitability and cash collection multiples. As of March
31, 2001, the available credit was approximately $2,070,000. Borrowings under
the credit agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's
assets. Additionally, the Company is subject to certain financial covenants that
measure net worth, interest coverage and debt capacity. The Company is in
compliance with all of the covenants in effect on March 31, 2001.

NOTE 3.  INCOME TAXES

Income taxes were calculated based on management's estimate of the Company's
effective tax rate. Income tax expense represents minimum state income taxes as
well as federal taxes due because of alternative minimum tax calculations.

NOTE 4.  SALE OF SUBSIDIARY

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company sold its subsidiary, International
Fitness Club Network (IFCN). The subsidiary was in the business of organizing
and maintaining a network of commercial fitness and health clubs and marketing
memberships in such clubs to employers and insurance companies. The Company
received net proceeds of approximately $369,000, including selling costs of
approximately $56,000, and recorded a gain on sale of approximately $229,000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL. Health Fitness Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the
"Company") provides fitness and wellness management services and products to
corporations, hospitals, communities, and universities primarily located in the
United States and Canada. Fitness and wellness management services include the
development, marketing, and management of corporate, hospital, and community
based fitness centers, health related programming, and on-site physical therapy.
While consumers of these services are typically corporate employees and hospital
customers, revenues are generated almost exclusively through business to
business, contractual relationships. Effective January 1, 2001, the Company sold
its IFCN subsidiary, which maintained and sold memberships in a network of
independently owned and operated commercial fitness and health clubs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 COMPARED TO THE
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2000.

REVENUES. Revenues decreased $312,000 to $6,426,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2001, from $6,739,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. This
decrease is primarily attributed to a $327,000 decrease in revenue from the
Company's International Fitness Club Network (IFCN), which was sold by the
Company in January 2001. Consulting and Management Fee revenues increased
$34,000, or .5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared to the same
period in 2000. This increase is primarily attributed to the addition of fitness
management contracts. Finally, On-Site Physical Therapy revenues decreased
$19,000, or 9.5%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, compared to the same
period in 2000 as a result of fewer contract opportunities.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income decreased $177,000 to $390,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2001, from $567,000 for the same period in 2000. This
decrease is primarily attributed to the elimination of approximately $130,000 of
operating income associated with the sale of IFCN, which occurred effective on
January 1, 2001. The remaining decrease of $47,000 is primarily attributed to an
increase in costs associated with managing the Company's corporate fitness
facilities.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased $35,000 to $130,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2001, compared to $165,000 for the same period in
2000. This decrease is primarily attributed to decreased levels of borrowing,
which lowered the amount of fees and interest paid on the Company's line of
credit. Also, the Company's cost of borrowed funds decreased from 13.25% for the
first quarter of 2000, compared to 11.50% for the first quarter of 2001.
Finally, the Company recorded a $229,000 gain on sale of the IFCN subsidiary.

INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense increased $35,000 to an expense of $30,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to a benefit of $5,000 for the
same period in 2000 due to minimum state and federal income taxes anticipated in
2001. The Company has offset the majority of income tax liability with the
recognition of previously incurred net operating loss carryforwards.

NET INCOME. As a result of the above, net income for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 was $457,000, a $30,000 increase from the same period in 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had negative working capital of $1,451,000 at March 31, 2001, versus
negative working capital of $3,132,000 at March 31, 2000. The increase in
working capital is due to the reduction of borrowings under the line of credit
as well as the reduction of accounts payable and other obligations.

Until July 2000, the Company had a revolving credit facility with Abelco Finance
L.L.C. and other affiliates of Cerberus Partners, L.P. (the "Credit Facility").
The Company's ability to draw down on the Credit Facility was tied to the
borrowing base formula which was based upon the Company's EBITDA (defined as
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), revenues, or
collections, whichever is less. The Credit Facility was secured by all of the
Company's assets, including its accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and
general intangibles and was guaranteed in part by the



                                        3

   8


Company's founder and former Chief Executive Officer. The advances under the
Credit Facility accrued interest at a rate equal to 7.0% in excess of Chase
Manhattan's prime rate, with a minimum rate of 15.5%. The Company was required
to pay monthly interest payments on outstanding borrowings at the prime rate
plus 4.5%, with a minimum rate of 13.0%. The unpaid interest (2.5%) was added to
the principal balance of the facility, and accrued interest until paid. The
Credit Facility was due September 2000. The Credit Facility was subject to
various affirmative and negative covenants customary in transactions of this
type, including a requirement to maintain certain financial ratios and
limitations on the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, to make
acquisitions outside of certain established parameters, or to make dividend
distributions.

In July 2000, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Coast Business
Credit for a $5.0 million working capital facility (the "Working Capital
Facility"). Interest on the loan is at the prime rate plus 3.0%, with future
reductions based on the achievement of certain net worth levels after March 31,
2001. Available credit under the Working Capital Facility is based upon certain
profitability and cash collection multiples. As of March 31, 2001 the available
credit was approximately $2,070,000. Additionally, the Company is subject to
certain financial covenants that measure net worth, interest coverage and debt
capacity. The Company is in compliance with all of the financial covenants in
effect on March 31, 2001. The initial proceeds of the Working Capital Facility
were used to pay off the Credit Facility with Abelco as well as the holders of
certain subordinated debentures. The facility expires in July 2003.

The Company believes that sources of capital to meet future obligations in 2001
will be in the form of cash provided by operations and by the Company's new
Working Capital Facility. The Company does not believe that inflation has had a
significant impact on the results of its operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company has no history of, and does not anticipate in the future, investing
in derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other
such financial instruments. Transactions with international customers are
entered into in U.S. dollars, precluding the need for foreign currency hedges.
As a result, the exposure to market risk is not material.
