About Us —Travel & Fitness Association

About

Travel and Fitness Association (TFA) was founded to provide valuable information and benefits to our members with a focus on the topics of travel and fitness. This association was founded during the middle of the coronavirus pandemic when travel and fitness patterns changed. Flights were out of the question for most people and going to the gym seemed to be a thing of the past. It was time rethink almost every part of our lives, so we decided to help provide the tools we all need for thriving in the new normal.

Our goal is to provide our members benefits that help support their well-being which include hotel and car rental discounts, fitness gear discounts, vacation planning and more. If you are ready to get out and travel, we have benefits just for you and are continuously working to negotiate deals, discounts, and rebates for the exclusive enjoyment of our members. Our content writers highlight vacation spots across the country with tips and reviews for hotels, restaurants, Airbnb locations, and activities.

If you are taking time to work on your health, we have partnered with several large gym and fitness companies to provide workout regimens and fitness programs that can be used at home, or the gym. We also provide our members with advice, reviews, and routines to help improve your fitness experience.

It is important to note that the association does not receive a commission or referral fee for these services. We are not paid representatives of these companies; we just want to help you maximize your benefits!
