This will be a fun and educational time to learn about the history of fitness, how it's impacted Americans over the last century, and what the professionals predict for the future. There will be a 100-year American fitness timeline on display, a Joe Loprinzi and Phyllis Diller fitness video, and plenty of time for questions and answers.
