EXERCISE IS MEDICINE

While it is well-understood that the statement above is absolutely true in both a preventative and rehabilitative respect, insurance companies and the governing bodies of health have not always prioritized fitness in the management of disease. This is changing.

TrueMed is a company that is trying to lead the charge.They are able to unlock tax-free HSA/FSA funds for health and wellness merchants, making health more affordable than ever. 40% of Americans have access to an HSA/FSA account through their employer – and those funds can be used to pay for nearly half of your membership costs!

To qualify, please take a survey on the TrueMed website. This survey is essentially a telehealth visit, and it will determine your eligibility for using your HSA/FSA funds to pay for part of your membership. You will be asked if you are intending to treat a current condition OR prevent a potential condition. You should answer positively on prevention, at the very least. The survey costs $30, which will only be charged if you are approved (thereby guaranteeing savings far in excess of that amount). TrueMed will use the $30 to fund their efforts to create a letter of medical necessity and apply for qualification on your behalf.

All uses of our gym will be approved — whether it’s CrossFit classes, Fitness classes, Open Gym, Infrared Sauna, Nutrition, InBody Scans, etc. — as they are all excellent methods for preventing chronic disease!

We are so excited to be able to make fitness more affordable to our members, and so many of you already have access to these funds. For those of you that don’t, inquire with your employer to see if this is something that you can also take advantage of.
