Get Paid to Exercise

You have an added incentive to head to a fitness center. When you enroll in Fit Choices^SM and exercise eight times per month, up to $20 per month of your membership dues can be returned to you.

New in 2012-2013: In addition to earning a monthly credit (of up to $20) against your membership dues, you can also accumulate 75 points for your Wellness Points Bank. The 75 points are awarded when you have been reimbursed six times between October 1, 2012, and July 31, 2013. In other words, you are required to earn six monthly credits of up to $20 per month.

How Does Fit Choices Work?

When you visit a participating fitness center eight times a month, the fitness center tracks your visits and sends a verification to Medica, the provider of Fit Choices. Your reward is reflected as a credit of up to $20 against your monthly dues, or it is deposited directly into your checking or savings account (depending upon how your fitness center administers the payment). A maximum of two members per household can be reimbursed through Fit Choices. Your reward generally takes approximately 60 days to process.
