Jerry V. Noyce Retirement
On February 4, 2008, Health Fitness Corporation (the “Company”) announced that Jerry V. Noyce retired from the Company and his employment as Vice Chairman was terminated, effective January 31, 2008, but he will continue to serve as a director on the Company’s Board of Directors.
The Company entered into an Agreement for Separation From Employment (the “Agreement”) with Mr. Noyce. The Agreement provides that the Company will pay Mr. Noyce (i) a lump sum equal to his base salary for 2007, or $275,000, and (ii) a bonus payment for 2007 of $15,000. In addition, Mr. Noyce’s Restricted Stock Agreement with the Company, dated June 1, 2007, will be amended such that Mr. Noyce will receive a fully vested allocation of the appropriate number of shares of restricted stock for achievement of 2007 performance objectives set by the Board of Directors. There will be no vesting of shares of restricted stock relating to 2008 and 2009 performance objectives; accordingly, the maximum number of shares of restricted stock held by Mr. Noyce under the Restricted Stock Agreement that will vest will be reduced from 125,000 to a number based upon the final 2007 audit of the applicable performance objectives. Mr. Noyce will also receive a lump sum payment of approximately $3,000 to compensate him for accrued but unused vacation time through the end of his employment. The Agreement also provides for the payment by the Company of group health coverage premiums under COBRA for 18 months or until Mr. Noyce reaches age 65, whichever occurs first. In return, Mr. Noyce has granted the Company a general release of any past claims by Mr. Noyce against the Company, including, but not limited to, any discrimination or other employment-related claims. The Company has also entered into a Consulting Agreement with Mr. Noyce, pursuant to which Mr. Noyce will perform consulting services for the Company from time to time, until the Consulting Agreement is terminated by either party, at a rate of $200 per hour, with the hours in any calendar year not to exceed 19.9% of the hours he worked in 2007.
The foregoing descriptions of the Agreement and the Consulting Agreement are intended to be a summary of these agreements and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Agreement and the Consulting Agreement, which are attached to this Report as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, and incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.

This grant vests in whole or in part at the time of completion of the Company’s 2009 annual audit, subject to the achievement of performance objectives set by the Board of Directors. If the Company terminates Mr. Griffin’s employment without cause or within six months of a “change in control,” he will receive an amount equal to nine months of his then current base salary.

     This Agreement for Separation from Employment (“Agreement”) is entered into this 31st day of January, 2008, between Jerry V. Noyce (“Noyce”) and Health Fitness Corporation (“HFC” or “Company”).
I. RECITALS
     A. Noyce has been employed by HFC as its Vice Chairman.
     B. In connection with his employment by HFC, Noyce executed an Employment Agreement dated November 30, 2000,as amended from time to time (the “Employment Agreement”).
     C. Also in connection with his employment by HFC, Noyce executed (i) a Restricted Stock Agreement dated June 1, 2007 (the “Restricted Stock Agreement”) granted to Noyce pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and (ii) numerous stock option agreements under which a total of 484,000 options to acquire common stock of HFC remain outstanding and unexercised as of the date hereof (the “Option Agreements”).

     For the consideration described below, the adequacy of which the parties acknowledge, the parties agree as follows:
     1. Retirement and Termination of Employment. Noyce’s retirement from the Company and his termination of employment as Vice-Chairman shall be deemed to have been effective as of the close of business on the Termination Date.
     2. Severance Payment. HFC will pay Noyce $275,000 within three (3) business days following satisfaction of the conditions in Section 8, which sum is equal to Noyce’s base salary for 2007.

     3. Vacation Pay. Within ten (10) days after the effective date of the Release (as defined in Section 5 herein), HFC shall pay to Noyce a lump sum in the amount of $2,985.34 to compensate him for his 22.58 days of accrued but unused paid PTO time through January 11, 2008, together with the sum of $132.21 per hour for each additional hour of PTO time that accrues after January 11, 2008, through the Effective Date.

          (a) Noyce’s rights pursuant to the Restricted Stock Agreement and Plan shall be revised as set forth in Exhibit A hereto effective upon satisfaction of the conditions in Section 8, with the intent that (i) Noyce shall receive a fully vested allocation of the appropriate number of shares of Restricted Stock for achievement of the 2007 Performance Objectives (as defined in such Agreement) as if he were still employed through December 31, 2009 (to the extent that such fully vested allocations are made to other Plan participants for achievement of such 2007 Performance Objectives), which shares shall be distributed to Noyce upon determination of the number of shares to which he is entitled after completion of the 2007 audit and provided that the conditions in Section 8 herein have been satisfied.

     10. Protection of Trade Secrets and Confidential Business Data. Noyce agrees that his obligations set forth in Article IV of the Employment Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as to all Confidential Information (as defined therein) known to Noyce as of the Termination Date or learned by Noyce at any time thereafter.
     11. Restrictive Covenants.

     12. Acknowledgement and Remedies. Noyce hereby acknowledges that the provisions of Paragraphs 10 and 11 above are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of HFC and that any violation of Paragraphs 10 or 11 by Noyce would cause substantial and irreparable harm to HFC to such an extent that monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy. In the event that Noyce violates any provision of Paragraphs 10 or 11 above, HFC shall be entitled to an injunction, in addition to all other remedies it may have, including without limitation (i) in the case of violations that are or reasonably may be expected to be material to the Company, prospective termination of any and all payments and benefits provided by this Agreement, and (ii) restraining Noyce from violating or continuing to violate such provision.

     14. Consideration and Rescission. The periods described in the Release during which Noyce may consider whether to sign or may rescind the Release and the procedures stated in the Release for accepting or rescinding the Release also apply to this Agreement. The Release and this Agreement must be accepted or rescinded together. Rescission of one of these documents will be deemed a rescission of both of them.
     15. Entire Agreement. This Separation Agreement and the Release supersede all prior oral and written agreements, representations, and promises between the parties except that the Restricted Stock Agreement and Option Agreements shall continue in full force and effect according to its terms. This Agreement, the Release, the Restricted Stock Agreement, and such other benefit plans as continue in force hereunder constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to Noyce’s employment with HFC and the termination of that employment. Noyce acknowledges that there were no inducements or representations leading to the execution of this Agreement or the Release, except as stated in this Agreement.
     16. Voluntary and Knowing Action. The parties acknowledge that they understand the terms of this Agreement and that they are voluntarily entering into this Agreement. The

     18. Jurisdiction and Venue. Noyce and HFC consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Minnesota and the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota for the purpose of resolving all issues of law, equity, or fact, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

Executive agrees to set up the home office in such a way as to ensure that he can effectively conduct HFC business in a confidential manner and to ensure that information, communications, documents and materials relating to HFC, its business and its customers are treated in a confidential manner and are not accessible to non-HFC personnel.

     Executive’s termination for Cause shall be determined in good faith by and in the sole discretion of HFC’s Chief Executive Officer and/or his designee.
     In the event of termination pursuant to subparagraph 2.01(c)(iii), (iv) or (v), Executive’s termination shall be immediate upon the giving of written notice to Executive. However, in the event of termination pursuant to subparagraph 2.01(c)(i) or (ii), HFC’s Chief Executive Officer will provide Executive written notice (the “Cause Notice”) of proposed termination which provides (1) reasonable detail as to the cause or causes asserted by HFC and upon which the Cause Notice is based, and (2) notification of a certain period of time from receipt of such Cause Notice within which Executive shall have the opportunity to cure the performance or conduct upon which the Cause Notice is based, to the satisfaction of HFC’s Chief Executive Officer.

If

termination occurs pursuant to subparagraph 2.01(d), Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive’s receipt of salary compensation between the date of disability and date of termination shall be governed by HFC’s employee benefit programs, as may be amended from time to time, to the extent Executive is eligible to participate in such programs.
(b) If termination occurs pursuant to subparagraph 2.01(g), Executive’s receipt of base salary and fringe benefits shall terminate as of the date of termination (except Executive shall have the right to continue certain benefits at Executive’s expense under COBRA).

Any separation pay due to Executive under this subparagraph 2.02(b) shall be payable to Executive in a lump sum thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of the signed release agreement and the expiration of any rescission periods in such agreement without rescission by Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the payments described in this Section 2.02 are subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and the Company determines that Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, such payments shall not be made earlier than the date that is six (6) months after Executive’s termination, but shall be paid during the calendar year following the year in which such termination occurs and within thirty (30) days of the earliest possible date permitted under Section 409A of the Code.
(c) All payments made to Executive under this Section 2.02 shall be reduced by amounts (i) required to be withheld in accordance with federal, state and local laws and regulations in effect at the time of payment, and (ii) owed to HFC by Executive for any amounts advanced, loaned or misappropriated in accordance with applicable law.
     2.03 Termination in the Event of a Change of Control.
(a) Change of Control Payments. If termination occurs pursuant to subparagraph 2.01(h), Executive’s receipt of base salary and fringe benefits shall terminate as of the date of termination (except Executive shall have the right to continue certain benefits at Executive’s expense under COBRA). However, Executive shall receive as separation pay the equivalent of nine (9) months of Executive’s then current base salary. Executive shall be required to execute a release agreement prepared by HFC to include a general release of any and all claims in favor of HFC in exchange for Executive’s receipt of separation pay under this subparagraph 2.03(a). Any separation pay due to Executive under this subparagraph 2.03(a) shall be payable to Executive in a lump sum thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of the signed release agreement and the expiration of any rescission periods in such agreement without rescission by Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the payments described in this Section 2.03 are subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and the Company determines that Executive is a “specified employee” as

(b) Limitation on Change of Control Payments. Executive shall not be entitled to receive any Change of Control Action (as defined below), which would constitute an “excess parachute payment” for purposes of Section 280G of the Code, or any successor provision, and the regulations thereunder. In the event that any Change of Control Action payable to Executive would constitute an “excess parachute payment,” then the acceleration of the exercisability of any stock options and the payments to Executive pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be reduced to the largest amount as will result in no portion of such payments being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. For purposes of this Section 2.03, a “Change of Control Action” shall mean any payment, benefit or transfer of property in the nature of compensation paid to or for the benefit of Executive under any arrangement which is considered contingent on a Change of Control for purposes of Section 280G of the Code, including, without limitation, any and all salary, bonus, incentive, restricted stock, stock option, compensation or benefit plans, programs or other arrangements, and shall include benefits payable under this Agreement.
(c) Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall mean any of the following events occurring after the date of this Amendment:
(1) A merger or consolidation to which the Company is a party, an acquisition by the Company involving the issuance of the Company’s securities as consideration for the acquired business, or any combination of fully closed and completed mergers, consolidations or acquisitions during any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period, if the individuals and entities who were shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the effective date of such merger, consolidation, or acquisition (or prior to the effective date of the first of a combination of such transactions) have, immediately following the effective date of such merger, consolidation or acquisition (or following the effective date of the last of a combination of such transactions), beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of less than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of securities issued by the surviving corporation for the election of directors of the surviving corporation; or
(2) The purchase or other acquisition by any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, of substantially all of the total gross value of the assets of the Company during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent purchase or other acquisition by such person or persons. For purposes of this subparagraph 2.03(c), “gross value” means the value of the assets of the Company or the value of the assets being disposed

HealthFitness adds more than 25 clients as employers adopt 21st
century health benefit design
Health management company reports more than 150,000 health risk assessments,
strong growth in 2007
MINNEAPOLIS, MN Jan. 31 2008— HealthFitness (OTC BB: HFIT) added more than 25 new clients in 2007, growing its workplace population health programs with a vision for a healthier, more productive workforce. HealthFitness is a leading provider of employee health management programs. Managing more than 400 fitness centers globally, the company also offers a suite of health management services on-site, Web-based and telephonically.
The lion’s share of new contracts in 2007 was in the company’s health management division. HealthFitness championed a new emphasis on 21st century health benefit design that takes a holistic approach to designing benefits for the entire employee population—from fitness programs for those who are well, to health management programs for those who are at low to high risk for chronic disease. New clients included health plans and universities in addition to employers in the manufacturing, high tech and health provider sectors.
“The vision for 21st century health benefit design provides tools so employers can support a workplace culture of health,” said Gregg O. Lehman, Ph.D., president and CEO of HealthFitness. “The traditional focus on providing services only for those who are ill ignores the poor health habits that put workers at risk for chronic disease. By providing tools to address preventable behaviors such as poor diet, physical inactivity and tobacco use early, employers can help employees lead healthier, more productive lives.”
Employers who embrace Lehman’s vision of 21st century benefit design can expect to see improvements in the bottom line. A study1 released in late 2007 by the National Business Group on Health and Watson Wyatt Worldwide reported that companies with highly effective health and productivity programs are 3.5 times as likely to report lower medical costs; are more likely to report declines in incidental sick pay, short- and long-term disability costs; and are much more likely to have lower incidences of paid and unpaid leave.

In 2007, more than 150,000 employees nationwide participated in health risk assessments (HRAs) administered by HealthFitness and nearly half a million participants are currently eligible to take a HealthFitness HRA. Some 77,000 participated in company health screenings conducted by HealthFitness across nearly 1,200 locations. After receiving their confidential HRA results from HealthFitness, participants are prompted to take part in health management programs designed to reduce their individual health risks.
“Steady growth in the health management division is a signal that employers and health plans recognize the benefits of addressing health needs before they become acute,” Lehman said. “HealthFitness is responsive to the needs of this market for health risk prevention programs as more studies underscore the connection between chronic illness and productivity.”

HealthFitness announces executive changes: chief operations officer and
new medical officer appointed; vice chairman retires
John Griffin, Jim Reynolds, MD join executive team; Jerry Noyce announces retirement
MINNEAPOLIS, MN Feb. 4, 2008— HealthFitness (OTC BB: HFIT) announced today that John Griffin has joined the company as chief operations officer, Jim Reynolds, MD, has joined the company as chief medical officer and Jerry Noyce has retired as vice chairman. HealthFitness is a leading provider of employee health management programs. Managing more than 400 fitness centers globally, the company also offers a suite of health management services on-site, Web-based and telephonically.
In his new position, Griffin oversees operations, information technology and account services functions at HealthFitness. Griffin brings more than 20 years’ experience in executive leadership of health management and health information technology organizations. He comes to HealthFitness from the Meridian Group, a consulting company he founded which focused on health care financial forecasting, budgeting, strategic planning and operational management. Prior to that Griffin served as chief operating officer of Gordian Health Solutions, a population health management organization headquartered in Nashville, Tenn.
As chief medical officer, Reynolds has oversight of all clinical aspects of programs and services, including establishment of best practice standards and use of evidence-based guidelines. In addition, Reynolds oversees the newly-formed Research, Development and Outcomes division, and will work in close collaboration with marketing and sales.
Reynolds comes to HealthFitness with an accomplished track record in employer-focused health management strategy development, program design and implementation. He most recently served with Mercer Human Resources Consulting as principal and senior healthcare consultant for its health and productivity management specialty practice. In that role he developed significant expertise for global health management solutions, and became Mercer’s spokesman on avian influenza pandemic preparedness planning. Prior to that Reynolds served in executive positions with CorSolutions and Health and Productivity Solutions of America, both employer-focused health and disease management companies. He is a physician with board certification in internal medicine.
HealthFitness also announced that Jerry Noyce retired from his role as vice chairman on Jan. 31. In this capacity he was involved in strategic development, international growth and acquisitions. He will continue to work on the President’s Council of Sports and Fitness, and in other advisory council roles

which focus on health and fitness management. He will also continue to serve as director on the HealthFitness Board. Noyce joined the company in 2000 as president and chief executive officer, leading the company through expansion of its health management services and the acquisition of HealthCalc Network Inc. and the health and fitness division of Johnson & Johnson Health Care Systems Inc. Noyce has served as vice chairman of the company’s executive management team since late 2006 when HealthFitness formed a new executive structure.
“Under Jerry’s leadership, HealthFitness grew to become the nation’s premier provider of health management and fitness services to employers and health plans,” said Mark Sheffert, chairman of the board for HealthFitness. “We are pleased that he will continue to lead the industry with his considerable expertise in an advisory role on these important national boards.”
It was also announced today that Peter Egan, Ph.D., will leave HealthFitness where he served as chief science officer. Egan came to HealthFitness in 2005 with the acquisition of HealthCalc.Net, Inc., which he co-founded in 1997. Egan helped establish the Research, Development and Outcomes division at HealthFitness. He is leaving the company to pursue other interests.
“Both John Griffin and Jim Reynolds are valuable additions to the HealthFitness leadership team,” said Gregg O. Lehman, HealthFitness president and CEO. “Their collective experience in the health, disease and productivity management sector will serve HealthFitness well, adding significantly to what is already a strong focus on proven 21st century health benefit design strategies to enhance employee health and improve the bottom line for our clients.”
