available at more than 124,000 fitness centers nationwide
- Plan participants and their spouses
may each save hundreds of dollars a year
UnitedHealthcare’s gym reimbursement program, Gym Check-In, has
expanded to include more than 124,000 facilities across the United
States, potentially saving consumers hundreds of dollars a year on
their gym fees.
Gym Check-In enables participating employers to provide
employees and their spouses the opportunity to each earn typically
between $20 and $50 every month for visiting a fitness facility 12
days or more per month.
Gym Check-In is available as a standalone offering to large
self-funded employers nationwide, and to small and mid-size
employers as part of UnitedHealthcare’s SimplyEngaged, a wellness
program that offers incentives for completing health and wellness
activities, and is available to employers in most states.
Qualifying for the financial incentive is designed to be simple:
Eligible plan participants use their smartphones to access Gym
Check-In on the Rally® mobile app, offered by UnitedHealthcare, to
track their visits to nearby, approved gyms – from large,
traditional gyms to smaller, specialty gyms. Monthly reimbursements
are automatically deposited into the employee’s bank account or
distributed in the form of merchant gift cards or reductions in
their health-plan premiums, as applicable.
“People are looking to save money and are interested in more
choices when it comes to their health, so we created Gym Check-In
to give them a better consumer experience,” said Rebecca Madsen,
UnitedHealthcare chief consumer officer. “Gym Check-In rewards
people for working out and being more personally engaged in
improving their health.”
A recent UnitedHealthcare report suggests that companies that
strengthen their wellness programs may yield cost-savings and
improve employee health over the long-term.
Employers interested in offering Gym Check-In to their employees
can contact their local UnitedHealthcare salesperson or go to
www.uhc.com. UnitedHealthcare plan participants can check their
benefit plan to see if their employer offers this program.
