SilverSneakers

What is the SilverSneakers Fitness Program?

The SilverSneakers Fitness Program is offered in partnership with select health plans at no additional cost to Medicare-eligible members. Each member is entitled to a basic membership at a SilverSneakers fitness center. The basic membership includes the SilverSneakers Classes, other classes on your fitness center's schedule, guidance from qualified fitness instructors and Senior Advisors, social activities, and the use of fitness center amenities such as swimming pools, saunas and whirlpools.

The SilverSneakers Classes offer multi-level equipment based strength and conditioning exercises designed for Medicare-eligible individuals. The classes are easy on your joints and appropriate for individuals who exercise regularly as well as those new to exercise or who may not have exercised in years. The exercises are designed to improve your strength, flexibility and the ability to perform functional activities such as getting out of your car or lifting your grandchildren! The classes are offered at least two times per week and are taught by caring, accredited instructors. It is never too late to start exercising. You can do this!

Is the membership in the program really available at no additional cost?

YES! There are no initiation or monthly fees for membership in this program. Your health care provider offers this service to you at no additional cost. However, if you request any services that are not included in a basic fitness center membership there may be an additional charge.
