History

FitTV

In 1993, FitTV was launched as Cable Health Club, part of Tim and Pat Robertson's International Family Entertainment, which also then owned the Family Channel (now Freeform). Jake Steinfeld, who had starred on the network's Big Brother Jake, was a constant presence on the channel in its early years.

The original formatting of an hour on Cable Health Club included a 20-minute aerobic conditioning workout at the top of the hour featuring Tamilee Webb; a segment on healthy living; a Body by Jake workout starting at the bottom of the hour; and "Fitness Plus", a home shopping segment for fitness items and equipment.
