Members that MOVE the WORLD
World Active convened its General Assembly and Summit at RiminiWellness 2026, bringing together leaders from across the globe and electing a new Council to guide the organization through its next phase of growth and international collaboration.
World Active is an initiative meant to set up an open and transparent platform for the fitness and physical activity sector, in line with its mission to get “more people, more active, more often” and its vision to be the worldwide representative voice of the fitness and physical activity sector.
Many trade associations and professional registers from across the world identified the need to establish a worldwide forum to start collaborating more closely — and that sparked the formation of World Active.
We work collaboratively and based on inclusivity — all countries and regions are welcome to join. World Active provides a global platform for organizations to connect, collaborate, and strengthen the fitness and physical activity sector worldwide.
World Active aims to offer a voice for the industry and enhance collaboration with the World Health Organization.
By working together with global health organizations, World Active supports initiatives that encourage physical activity and help create a healthier world.
Anyone can support our work, with formal membership being reserved to not-for-profit industry bodies and registers (national or continental) from the exercise, fitness and physical activity sector. Members vote at AGMs, and elect the board of World Active.
Affiliates such as subject matter experts can also be a part of World Active, as can commercial industry stakeholders by being a ‘supporter’.
