SilverSneakers Medicare Gym Membership Program

SilverSneakers is a fitness program available to Medicare beneficiaries. The program promotes optimal health and can help create bonds within communities.

Group fitness classes, one-on-one lessons, and local gym memberships are just a fraction of the benefits available for SilverSneakers Medicare enrollees. The wellness program is available nationwide and provides members with a network of more than 16,000 fitness centers.

For those who are tech-savvy, the SilverSneakers GO mobile app allows you to receive a digital membership card and workouts on the go.

Medicare does not cover the costs of fitness programs and gym memberships. Thus, Original Medicare does not cover the cost of SilverSneakers.

Medicare Advantage plans can offer additional benefits unavailable through Original Medicare. Often, these plans include some type of gym membership or wellness program.

Medicare Supplement (Medigap) policies do not include coverage for gym memberships. However, some carriers offer these benefits to their enrollees. The availability of these plans also varies by state, so speaking with a licensed agent is the best way to find out if you can enroll in a Medigap policy that includes coverage for a gym membership.

If you are a Medicare beneficiary under age 65, you may qualify for a Medicare Advantage plan with SilverSneakers. There is NO age requirement!
