Lets get GOALing!
I don’t know about you, but I am always making excuses to procrastinate on my goals, but I would like to provide you with just a few resources that GSCC Offers to help you out!
My goal for this year is to dedicate 20 minutes everyday to my physical health. if you’re like me, you’re probably looking at gyms, and programs to be a part of. One of the challenges that we all face is the cost. Thankfully GSCC has a reimbursement program, to help with one of our challenges.
GSCC will reimburse your monthly gym cost up to $35/month as long as you show proof of attendance of 8 times per month. All you have to do is fill out this FORM, provide your activity log provided by the facility, and your receipt/proof of payment, and turn it into Marlee (you can also find the “expense form” by going to the Shared Drive > Employee Resources > Employee Forms > Expense Report”).
There are some gyms in the area that have a cost higher than the $35 GSCC will reimburse, if that prevents you from joining, below you will find a Blue365 (Blue Cross Blue Shield Program) Health Living Program called “Active & Fit Direct”. This program has a system of over 12,500+ gyms in their network that partner with them or a reduced cost membership.
The Active&Fit Direct program gives you access to your choice of thousands of gyms and other great features for $28 a month. Here's what you get with your standard membership:
Access to 12,500+ gyms you know and love, including 24 Hour Fitness®, LA Fitness®, Anytime Fitness®, Gold’s Gym®, Workout Anytime®, Crunch Fitness®, YMCA and more
Access to a robust library of hundreds of clinically-approved health and fitness articles, videos, and self-care tools to help you on your fitness journey
Membership options for your spouse
To sign up or find even more info about Active & Fit Direct HERE. Please reach out to me, or catch me while I’m around the clinics if you would like more information on how to sign up.
Once you create your account, you will have to provide your BCBS insurance information (you have to be a BCBS carrier in order to qualify), pick your gym(s) and pay (you do have to pay for the first 2 months and an activation fee, but GSCC will reimburse you the 2 months as long as you show proof of working out at the gym 8 times).
Once you sign up, you will receive a document you can download/print with an ID number.
Take that document to your chosen gym and let me know you are an Active&Fit Member, they will search for it in their system, have you sign some paperwork and get you a badge/or whatever tracking system they offer.
I found this information through Blue365, and they have all different kind of deals as long as you are a BCBS member, if you want to look into the different programs/discounts they have, find those HERE.
Again, please reach out to me with any questions, and I would be more than happy to walk you through it, or give you any additional information!
