How the Program Works

The Fitness Reimbursement Program is simple. You just pay fitness expenses as you would normally. In most cases you simply file a claim with copies of your receipts, and you’re reimbursed for eligible fitness expenses.

While your employer may not require them for reimbursement, it’s always a good idea to keep receipts for any eligible out-of-pocket expenses you pay.

Your employer determines how you’re reimbursed—through automatic payroll payments or expense checks—and who is eligible to participate in the program.

Enrolling in the Program

You can sign up for the Fitness Reimbursement Program any time—there’s no need to wait for the next Open Enrollment period. Contact the person or organization managing your benefits enrollment to start today.

Annual Reimbursement Limits

Your employer determines your annual fitness reimbursement limit. Ask the person or organization managing your benefits enrollment for the amount you’re eligible to receive under your specific program.

Eligible Expenses

Your employer determines which expenses are eligible for reimbursement under the Fitness Reimbursement Program. Typical eligible expenses include:

  • Gym, fitness center/studio, health club, swim & tennis club memberships and fees
  • Fitness and nutrition counseling
  • Fitness and sports classes/lessons
  • Personal trainer sessions
  • Martial arts instruction
  • Sports league or team fees
  • Weight loss and smoking cessation programs, including memberships
  • Yoga, Pilates, and meditation classes

Ask the person or organization managing your benefits enrollment which expenses are eligible for reimbursement under your specific program.
