About Us











FPANH
 
 


The FPANH is a group of health and fitness professionals who meet each month to network, exchange fitness training ideas, build new business opportunities, and develop the fields of pedagogy, fitness, strength & conditioning, and human performance.   Our members include personal trainers, instructors from martial arts, yoga, pilates, massage therapists, physical therapists, strength coaches, college students, physicians, sports coaches from youth to professional levels and across all sports, students, athletic trainers, and other fitness enthusiasts.  Meetings are open to anyone interested in learning about fitness and networking.

The association is managed by a committee, with membership agents assigned by town throughout New Hampshire who volunteer their time to network with local professionals in hopes of disseminating knowledge and increasing the awareness of professional advancement opportunities.




The purpose of the FPANH is to promote the development of the field of strength and conditioning within the state of New Hampshire by organizing learning opportunities, professional networking events, and enhancing communication between professionals in the fields of human performance.  We are not a certifying body.  We are a local association that provides high-quality information to people involved in fitness who are interested in safely working with clientele and promoting their business for free.

Our organization is tailored to help people who are involved in sports coaching, martial arts, massage therapy, dance, physical therapy, and any other profession related to physical fitness.
 Each month, we hold a meeting at New Hampshire Community Technical College in Manchester that is open to the public.  The purpose of these meetings are to create a networking opportunity free to any professional or student, and provide an inexpensive opportunity to earn continuing education units (CEUs) for your national certification where applicable.
