Fitness Program
Provides reimbursement for gym memberships and fitness classes based on 30-visit minimum utilization per six month reimbursement period. (On-line programs are not eligible for reimbursement under this program.)
In addition to fitness facilities, eligible programs include aerobics, spinning, yoga, Zumba, Tai Chi, karate, swimming, or pilates. A combination of classes totaling the 30-visit minimum utilization qualifies for reimbursement under this program. (Only one visit per day will count for utilization purposes regardless of the number of programs attended.)
Reimbursement is provided for a maximum of three eligible family members who meet the utilization requirements.
Note the program will only reimburse the amount that was paid for a membership minus any ancillary services (food/beverages, tanning, massages, etc.). If detailed services and membership periods are not clearly identified on receipts, membership contracts may be requested for clarification prior to reimbursement.
