Why don’t insurance companies cover or help cover gym memberships?
I would really like to join the fitness center in my area, mainly because they have a pool & I used to swim competitvely, and I would also like to get back into shape. (I work out at home, but this place offers small classes for kickboxing etc, & I would like something new) Also, my daughter takes swim lessons there & we would get a discount on them. Anyway, membership for almost all of the fitness/wellness centers is pretty high. We are on a tight budget in my household too. It got me to thinking about how if insurance companies would help cover the cost of these places, maybe more people would join, and in turn stay healthier, which in turn would help keep insurance costs down. Does anyone else think this is a good idea? Or do you know of insurance companies that do this? I have BlueCross, which is pretty good, but I have never heard of insurance companies helping with this. What do you think?

some do, the offer a reimbursement… you just have to ask and the company will send you a form that you have to fill out. I know my insurance company gives $300 back which helps.

Ok, so I’m staying at this hotel in San Francisco. (The link is above) There is a fitness center there. Are kids allowed? Are you charged to get in? If so, how much?
BTW you can just guess if you want.
Most hotels do not charge a fee for fitness center use. Kids must be supervised.
If in doubt call or email the hotel and ask.

I am wondering about fitness classes for my 8 yr old son, anyone familair with the new kids fitness classes?
I used to do triathalons and still workout couple times a week so I am famialiar with fitness, but what about the new kids fitness programs springng up…are they good for kids tht young? He plays baseball (made an all star team) and is constantly on the go but he is on the low end of strength nd speed so I thought that may help him…sound like a good idea?
The best place for a child to take fitness-related activities is the YMCA.
