Your AAA Membership Now Gives You Access to an Active&Fit Gym Membership for $25 per Month (Increasing to $28 on April 1)

We started writing about Active&Fit in 2019 when it was only available to individuals whose employer, association, or health insurance plan provided access to this low-cost, multi-gym access fitness program.

In 2023, Active&Fit membership availability has changed. For the better.

There is now an organization-free membership option named Active&Fit Now that prices at $29 per month (increasing to $32/month April 1, 2023) that you can read about at this link.

AAA and Active&Fit

And as a relatively new addition, members of the American Automobile Association (AAA) can now access the lower-cost Active&Fit membership pricing at $25 per month (increasing to $28/month April 1, 2023).

You can view the AAA Active&Fit Direct page and sign in to your AAA account at this link. Click the “Discounts” option if not taken directly to the Active&Fit page.

Plus, if you join via AAA, and stay a member for 12 months, you’ll receive 10% off your Active&Fit monthly fee each month thereafter. A nice perk for those who plan to maintain a long-term fitness routine.

Waived Enrollment Fee

The $29 per month Active&Fit Now program is waiving the $29 enrollment fee with code: YOURYEAR.

You may be able to get the $25 enrollment fee associated with the Active&Fit Direct program waived, too, by inputting the YOURYEAR code during sign-up. Although, it’s not yet been advertised for this program, and may not work. But, it’s worth a try. The code is good through March 31, 2023.

Now on to the Active&Fit programs.

Active&Fit

No matter which Active&Fit program you join, it remains a fantastic option for getting multi-gym access at a price point that is hard to beat.

Whether it’s the $25 per month Direct program or the $29 per month Now program, Active&Fit memberships have no long-term commitments.

For those familiar with gym memberships, that alone sounds too good to be true.

But it’s not.

Here’s an overview of the Active&Fit program to help you decide if it’s right for you.

Just remember, pricing for all Active&Fit programs is increasing April 1, 2023.

A Gym Membership for $25 a Month

Members of AAA can join the Active&Fit Direct program after logging in to their AAA account. You should be able to do so at this link.

For those who want information on joining via their health insurance provider/employer, read on.

For the $25 per month option, your employer, association (including AAA) or health insurance provider must offer access to the fitness program Active&Fit Direct.

Luckily, it appears many major health insurance providers include Active&Fit Direct under their “Special Offers and Discounts.” Anthem, my provider, lists Active&Fit Direct under this exact section of its website.

You can check your insurance provider by logging in to its website and searching for a similarly named section.

In addition to Anthem, reports indicate that Aetna also offers this benefit to its insurance members.

And USAA provides access to Active&Fit Direct as well.

Those familiar with USAA know that its insurance products are top-notch, and also only available to current and former members of the U.S. military and their dependents.

USAA does, however, offer banking services to anyone who wishes to open an account. And reports seem to indicate banking customers of USAA also qualify for access to Active&Fit Direct.

If you’re interested in utilizing USAA’s banking products to become eligible for Active&Fit Direct and its $25 a month gym membership, you can find links in our Discussion Board post on this topic.

How Active&Fit Direct and its $25 a Month Gym Membership Works

Here’s how Active&Fit Direct and its $25 a month gym membership works.

The first step is to check for partner fitness centers near you. You can use the link below to access Active&Fit Direct’s fitness center search.

Active&Fit Direct’s Fitness Center Search Link

If you find member fitness facilities that will work for you, your next step is linking from your employer, association (AAA) or health plan’s website to access Active&Fit Direct’s enrollment process.

During the enrollment process, you’ll pay your first month’s $25 fee, next month’s $25 fee and a $25 enrollment fee*.

*The enrollment fee may be waived with the Promo Code: YOURYEAR through March 31, 2023. Give it a try and see.

Once enrolled, print your Active&Fit Direct fitness card/sheet and take it to the member fitness center of your choice. The gym will verify your enrollment and ask you to complete their standard membership agreement. You’ll receive the fitness center’s standard membership card or key tag which will allow you access whenever you like.

Active&Fit Direct Member Gyms

If there are multiple member fitness centers near you, you can change your gym at any time at no additional cost.

In fact, there are reports that you can set up your membership with each gym and then use them all whenever you like (even multiple gyms on the same day). No need to actually change your gym with Active&Fit Direct once you’ve initially enrolled with the individual gyms.

Active&Fit Direct partners with a number of name-brand fitness centers. All of which can be utilized via one Active&Fit Direct membership.

Some fitness centers may restrict Active&Fit Direct members to certain times during the day…although reports of that are rare. Just check with your preferred member facility to be sure.

Planet Fitness is a member facility available to many Active&Fit Direct enrollees. Considering Planet Fitness’s low monthly fee, some may wonder why it’s worth considering Active&Fit Direct’s $25 plan over the typical $10 Planet Fitness fee.

Turns out, an Active&Fit Direct membership provides a Planet Fitness Black membership. A PF Black membership runs about $23 per month and includes extras the basic membership does not. Its larger benefit, though, is you do not have to pay the $30 annual fee Planet Fitness charges when going through Active&Fit Direct.

And, you can use other fitness centers in addition to Planet Fitness if you like for that $25 per month fee.

Active&Fit Direct Membership

There is no long-term commitment for an Active&Fit Direct membership.

There is, however, a 2-month minimum enrollment period. After the 2-months are over, participation is month-to-month.

You can cancel your membership at any time after the first 2 months.

Be aware that if you cancel, you’ll need to close your account and stop payment with Active&Fit as well as cancel with the individual gym(s), too.

If you change your mind about canceling, you can re-enroll, but you’ll have to pay the $25 enrollment fee again.

The $25 monthly fee is charged on the same date each month as your enrollment date starting the month after you enroll. Each recurring monthly fee is a prepayment for the next month.

Your Active&Fit Direct membership covers a standard membership at any of its 10,000+ participating fitness centers nationwide. There are no additional fitness center-specific fees. However, if you upgrade your standard membership, then additional upgrade fees would be paid, by you, to the fitness center directly.

An Active&Fit Direct membership also provides access to 150+ videos, articles and online classes at no extra cost. These can be found on the Active&Fit Direct’s website’s Resource Library tab.

Wrap Up

Who knew such an inexpensive and flexible fitness center program was available?

There are a variety of ways to join Active&Fit at the $25 per month price, including via a AAA membership.

If none of those options work for you, anyone can join Active&Fit Now for about $5 more per month.

And, if you join before March 31, 2023, you should be able to get the enrollment fee waived with the Promo Code: YOURYEAR…if it’s not automatically applied when you sign-up.

There is a 2-month commitment, but after that, you can cancel at any time without penalty.

An Active&Fit membership is most definitely an option to keep in mind for those who want to live a healthier lifestyle.

Whether you’re new to working out, or a fitness buff who’s been going to gyms for years now, an Active&Fit Direct membership can provide significant value to your workout buck.
