I am in my third month of going to a personal trainer and I love it. Yes, it's a bit expensive but worth every penny for me. I started wondering if I could get it covered under my Aetna Flex Spending account. Started reading and in fact it states you can submit for gym membership and personal trainer if you have a letter from your doctor. I called my surgeons office and asked about it since they want you to exercise.They checked and the doctor wrote a letter for me. So tomorrow I will submit the paper work for reimbursement.

So, others out there might want to check their insurance plans for coverage.

I have Aetna as well but I have used all my benefits for this year so next year I will look into this. Thanks for the info

Interesting. I am a federal employee and I just looked up what my benefit is, and I can also get my gym membership paid with a doctor's note. I am spending a small fortune on my personal trainer, so I am definitely going to do this next year since I have no money left for this year!
