The Malta Exercise, Health and Fitness Association (MEHFA) is a new, non-profit making NGO aimed at encouraging people in Malta to be more active, more often, through a series of activities it organises. The association aims to set standards for the fitness industry in line with European Union guidelines. MEHFA is a member of the European Health and Fitness Association based in Brussels. MEHFA’s other aims include the improvement of knowledge about the fitness industry among politicians, the media and the public; providing activities in sports clubs, fitness centres and outdoors, to improve public health and perceptions about health, and to encourage a drive for fitness research in Malta.

So far, MEHFA’s funding has come from sponsors, and strategic partnerships, with a number of fitness centres. A full programme of current MEHFA activities can be found in the Activities Time table on this website
