The Federation of International Sports, Aerobics and Fitness (FISAF) is an international non-profit "umbrella organization" active in over 40 countries and was founded in 1990s. It is self-described as "the largest fitness industry organisation in the world" and "the largest instructor certification agency in the world". The FISAF International Training Course grants certificates of accreditation. Every year, over 20,000 fitness enthusiasts attend FISAF accredited courses and endorsed programs.[1][2]
