                             SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM

   Forms Office of the Chairman, Names Vice Chairman and New President and CEO

MINNEAPOLIS, MN -DECEMBER 4, 2006 - Health Fitness Corporation (OTC Bulletin
Board: HFIT) today announced the formation of a new executive structure to
include an Office of the Chairman, effective January 1, 2007. The new structure
is intended to strengthen the senior management team's capacity in order to
capitalize on the significant growth opportunities in health management, as well
as expand and integrate its leading fitness management business with health
management and to implement the Boards transition plan for leadership
succession.

The new executive management team will be composed of Mark W. Sheffert, Chairman
of the Board; Jerry Noyce, formerly the company's President and CEO, who has
been elected Vice Chairman; and Gregg O. Lehman, a member of Health Fitness'
Board of Directors and nationally recognized executive in the health management
business, who has been elected President and CEO.

"The health management sector of our business has tremendous potential and the
Board concluded that an executive with applicable experience would enable us to
better focus on this opportunity. In addition, we are the largest fitness
management provider in the U.S., and we plan to continue to strengthen this
position of leadership." said Chairman Mark Sheffert.

"Over the past six years, Jerry made significant contributions to the company as
President and CEO. He was instrumental in reviving a lagging company and turned
it into a profitable and well positioned organization," Sheffert continued. "He
also created our current health management service business by overseeing the
acquisition and integration of the health and wellness division of Johnson and
Johnson Health Care Systems and Health Calc, a technology based health
management services business. In addition, he was recently recognized as an
industry leader when he was named to the President's Council on Physical Fitness
and Sport.

We are pleased that Jerry will continue to play an important role and believe
that his insights and guidance will prove invaluable as we search for
acquisition, joint venture or partnership opportunities in our business."



"It has been a great privilege to help guide the growth of the company over the
past six years. I am pleased that Gregg is joining the leadership team as
President and CEO to take us to the next level," said Noyce.

Lehman, who recently joined Health Fitness' Board of Directors, is a nationally
recognized leader in the health management services business. He has over 20
years of experience in the healthcare industry and, most recently, served as
President and CEO of INSPIRIS, a Nashville-based specialty care medical
management company. Previously, Lehman was President and CEO of Gordian Health
Solutions, Inc., one of the nations leading health management companies,
dedicated to improving the health of employees and dependents for self insured
employers and health plans, until it was sold to Blue Cross and Blue Shield in
2005, and President and CEO of the National Business Coalition of Health.

Lehman is the past president of Taylor University, a private Indiana liberal
arts university. He has a PhD and an M.S. from Purdue University in Higher
Education Administration and a B.S. in Business Management and Marketing from
Indiana University. He and his family plan to move to the Twin Cities in the
near future.

"We are fortunate to have an executive of Gregg's caliber leading our efforts to
fully capitalize on the opportunities in the rapidly growing health management
services business. Gregg has a demonstrable track record of senior management
health-related experience, including leading Gordian Health Solutions to
unprecedented growth and profitability and then orchestrating the successful
sale of the business," said Sheffert.

"It is a real honor to join a market leading company such as Health Fitness
Corporation" said Lehman. "With the foundation in place under Jerry's
leadership, I firmly believe that our team will be proactive in addressing the
health and productivity issues of employers with innovative programs and
services that demonstrate value."
