I found out yesterday BCBS fep pays for my gym memberships under the "my blue" program.

All it takes is a $25 enrollment fee, and they pay the membership.

Lucky for me, cause I belong to two gyms: one near my work for noon work-outs,

and the new one (Snap) 40 miles away near my home.

BCBS also has some nice little tools, too:

like a wellness professional locator

which lists acupuncturists and masseuses close to your zip code

and what kind of discount they give "my blue" members.

@@2twinkle I have BCBS FEP. I will have to check on that. I wonder if the different states makes a difference?

My insurance pays my gym membership. I always encourage folks to check their plans. Many have wellness components that can cover or help with gym memberships.

Elode,

Call the number on your card for "customer service"

They will direct you from there.

Good Luck!

@@2twinkle Thank you I will do that tomorrow. I need to see if it only covers major gym chains or just any.

My insurance covers $20 of my $30 membership when I go 12 times per month. It's an incentive to get in there! I'm going faithfully now.

I have the same insurance!!!

but the program is 25 bucks a month..

The program costs $25/month, and I get memberships to the small local gym near my work, normally $35/month and to Snap fitness, a large chain, which has a big gym near my home. Snap is just under $40/ month. Now here's two things that have changed:

• I had been only able work out for 30 minutes a day, on my lunch hours - when I had no schedule conflicts, and was in town. Now, I can add after-hours workouts on my way home, use the gym on weekends and when I travel. Plus, I am no longer limited to just 30 minutes, so I am getting more of what I want.
• My gym membership fees went down about $50 a month.

The "my blue" membership has other benefits besides the gym membership that I have not yet fully explored, but its for people like us who are striving toward better health.

I have Keystone 65. I was paying $32 a month at my gym. Then they started accepting Silver Sneakers which is part of the wellness component of my plan. I was able to switch over at my gym with no enrollment fee. I have an all areas membership at my gym. It's a major chain and I can go to anyone in the US.

I go to Worlds Gym.. which is 24 a month for me, and I can go to any gym, so unfortunately, it isn't really a benefit to me. But at least someone can use it!

I have BCBS FEDERAL and wonder if this is included, anyone?

Yes, Cal. That is my company, too. Call them and ask about "My blue."
