Gym memberships
Research has obviously proven that people who use gyms are healthier and in better physical shape — customers who exercise regularly are generally less likely to suffer from costly medical ailments, including diabetes and heart disease. So, covering gym memberships pays off for insurance companies over time. This offers some incentive for people to stay active, and eat within your calorie range and healthy foods not junk food and helps save insurance companies money in long term coverage.
Many major insurance companies offer discounts of up to 30 percent on monthly fees on select gyms. Employers often offer discounts on gym memberships, as well — some offer $250 per year reimbursements. Therefore check with your benefits department.
