Ron Kind (D-WI), The Personal Health Investment Today Act (H.R. 2105), commonly known as PHIT, is legislation pending in Congress to allow for reimbursement of physical activity expenses using pre-tax dollars.

Contributions to existing pre-tax medical accounts, flexible spending accounts, re-imbursement accounts could be used to pay for physical activity expenses. The contributions are limited to $1,000 for individuals and $2,000 for families annually and would not increase existing caps on contributions to pre-tax accounts.() Expenses that would be covered include: *Youth camp and physical activity fees *Membership and dues in a health club *Exercise/fitness classes or instruction (personal trainer) *Sports league fees (adult and youth) *Marathon/triathlon registration fees *Sports and fitness equipment used exclusively for participation in physical exercise/activities. ==Sponsors== Sponsor: Rep.
