SFA’s Mission and History

SFA was founded in 1992 to promote excellence in older adult fitness by providing widely accessible, senior specific fitness education programs, fitness resources and internationally recognized advanced professional qualification.

The American Senior Fitness Association’s record is characterized by extraordinary growth and achievement. The early years were devoted to establishing SFA’s expert National Advisory Board and developing SFA’s comprehensive educational programs. In recent years the association has continued to set the standard in older adult fitness, for example, with new year-2008 editions of all SFA educational programs.

SFA participates in major health-fitness events such as the New World Fitness IDEA International Convention, the International Conference on Aging and Physical Activity and the National Association for Activity Professionals’ national conventions at which SFA principals conduct educational lectures and workshops.

The American Senior Fitness Association is proud to have been one of the original coalition members that developed the American National Standards for Preparing Senior Fitness Instructors. SFA is also a recognized supporting organization of International Guidelines for Preparing Physical Activity Instructors of Older Adults which were developed in collaboration with the Aging and Life Course, World Health Organization.

Presently, the association is facilitating a number of valuable new benefits for members and program participants, including a structured networking system for SFA affiliates and increased access to senior specific fitness resources.
