Update January 2023 - The basics of Active&Fit are still pretty much the same and can be found in the post below.

Active&Fit will be increasing its monthly membership fees for both the Active&Fit Direct and Active&Fit Now programs beginning March 2023.  Active&Fit Direct will increase to $28 per month and Active&Fit Now will increase to $32 per month, both plus tax.

There is now an organization-free membership option named Active&Fit Now that prices at $29 per month that you can read about at this link. Now Through March 31, 2023, you can have the $29 enrollment fee for this program waived with Promo Code: YOURYEAR.

The $25 enrollment fee may be waived by using the Promo Code: YOURYEAR through March 31, 2023, during the sign-up process. Let us know in the comments if it works for you.

And, a change during 2021 - Premium fitness centers have been added to the program for a slightly higher monthly fee. The exact fee varies depending on the center. You can view all fitness centers (standard and premium) in your area using the Active&Fit search page.

 

Exercise is one of the best ways to save money.  Whether it's helping to maintain a positive mental attitude or bettering your physical fitness, exercising can pay huge dividends in a variety of ways.

The downside?  Many gyms have significant monthly fees, not to mention initiation costs and sometimes even annual dues to be a member.

In comes Active&Fit to help lower those costs.

First and foremost, Active&Fit is not something you as an individual can join.  Your employer, association and/or health insurance provider must offer it as a benefit.

Anthem is one widely used health insurance provider that offers it as a benefit. And reports indicate Aetna is another provider offering an Active&Fit benefit.

USAA is another one, but unless you're a current or former member of the U.S. military - or a dependent - you can't utilize USAA insurance products. 

But, USAA does offer bank accounts that anyone can sign-up for, and having a USAA savings account should qualify you for an Active&Fit membership.

And, of course, ask your employer's human resource staff if Active&Fit is a benefit they offer.

If you can access an Active&Fit membership, you'll be able to use any gym that is part of the Active&Fit program for only $25 per month! And that includes using multiple fitness centers if you wish.

Once you're an Active&Fit member, you'll show your Active&Fit credentials to member gyms...as many as you like...and set up an account with those individual gyms. Your only payment is to Active&Fit at $25 a month.  Tax is likely extra, though. But, there are no additional payments to the individual gyms.

For new Active&Fit members, you will have to pay for two months up front ($50) and a $25 enrollment fee.

*You may be able to have the enrollment fee waived with the Promo Code: youryear. 

After that, you're only committed to one more month ($25) of membership, after which you can cancel at any time without additional costs. And you can re-activate your membership at any time - although you'll have to pay the enrollment fee and the up front 2-months fees again.

All that considered, for many gym memberships, this is a really good deal. The key is whether your employer / health insurance provider offers an Active&Fit membership benefit.  Or, if you want to try the USAA bank account route. You can view information and see what member fitness clubs are near you at this Active&Fit website link.
