$150 Fitness Rebate Now Standard for Small Groups

We are pleased to announce that our fitness program for employer groups with 1 - 50 eligible employees will now include the $150 Fitness Rebate for members using a qualified fitness club. This change will be effective for new groups as of April 1, 2008. For groups with renewal dates of April 1 or later, the fitness rebate will be effective upon the group's renewal date.
Groups with more than 50 employees have the option of adding the Fitness Rebate to any existing plan as a buy-up option.

How it Works
Members may receive a $150 mail-in fitness rebate (per household) on annual gym member fees following four consecutive months of:

  • The date the employer group plan includes the fitness rebate
  • Membership with Tufts Health Plan
  • Membership with a qualifying health and fitness club*

This fitness rebate is in addition to our existing value-added discounts on fitness, including:

  • 20-60% discount on qualified fitness club membership fees**
  • Waiver of initiation/joining fees at any health and fitness clubs within the Tufts Health Plan network of fitness centers.

Or, members may visit participating health and fitness clubs within the Tufts Health Plan network without joining and pay a small copayment with each visit, for up to 5 visits per month.

The network includes:

  • Tufts Health Plan network of fitness centers, currently 76 clubs/gyms and 36 Boys & Girls clubs
  • GlobalFit network of gyms nationwide, including more than 80 in Massachusetts and 2000 nationwide
  • Curves® in New England (approximately 169 locations in Massachusetts)
  • Fitness Together discount program
