The time for New Year’s resolutions has come and gone, and while many of us have maybe already failed on those plans to try and stay healthy and go out and exercise more or head to the gym, this might be a sign to get back into it!
SilverSneakers is a fitness program that offers a FREE gym membership to our retirees through Verizon and their dependents through various health insurance plans.
There are more than 15,000 partnering fitness locations all over the country and SilverSneakers also offers online workout classes and a mobile application that is designed with ease of use for seniors in mind.
This is a benefit you may not even know you have, but it’s something more of us should take advantage of.
Our Chairman, Thomas Steed, was gifted a year’s membership at his local gym by his daughter and it wasn’t until a year later that he discovered his gym was a SilverSneakers partner. Meaning, all Mr. Steed had to do was show his insurance card to exercise for free without buying a membership!
You can check your eligibility on the SilverSneakers website to see if your insurance partners with SilverSneakers to get a FREE gym membership at a location near you.
