American Fitness Index

The inaugural data report, "Health and Community Fitness Status of 16 Large Metropolitan Areas," is a snapshot of the state of health and fitness in America's 15 most populous metropolitan areas, plus Greater Indianapolis (the headquarter city of American College of Sports Medicine and WellPoint, Inc.).
