- the IHRSA Profiles of Success report, which states that fitness facilities experienced 5.3% growth from 2013 to 2014;
- a study that found obesity is more common among less-educated individuals in rich countries, whereas in poor countries it is more common among better-educated people;
- fitness and wellness company Technogym donating 650,000 meals to malnourished children as part of its “Let’s Move
& Donate Food” initiative; - a partnership between ACE and YMCA of the USA to provide customized education to support Y instructors in their efforts to assist Y members.
