How it started…

FISAF dates back to 1990 and was part of the health related fitness and sport aerobics movement gathering momentum around the world. 

FISAF World Championships in Sport Aerobics and Hip Hop were the signature products followed later by FISAF Education. 

FISAF Main Office moved from Finland to Prague and as a result of its immense popularity and togetherness of all participating countries in the hip-hop championship it was renamed Hip Hop Unite. 

At the same time and in order to develop fitness leadership an educational arm to the organization was introduced in 1993 with a collaboration with Network for Fitness Professionals from Australia. The Network fitness education model was introduced to the world in 1994 and offered 3 certifications including Group Exercise Instructor, a group, exercise, Aqua Instructor and Personal Training Instructor. Over the years the program has matured from face-to-face instruction to hybrid models and include a nice balance between Exercise Science and movement Science.

Today FISAF International is a respected provider of competitive fitness programming and educational leadership services. It is committed to good health and wellness for all ages, diverse and creative solutions to fitness practice and competitive standards through multiple fitness providers across the world.

The future is IN OUR HANDS.
