Beyond the basics | Get more from your membership

At Anytime Fitness, we go beyond the basics to enhance your overall lifestyle! We offer the extra benefits you need to get the most out of your club membership.

In addition to awesome exercise equipment and a supportive atmosphere, Anytime Fitness also offers:

• 24-hour tanning at most clubs. You can add an unlimited tanning option to your membership, or you can "pay as you go."

• Personal trainers at most clubs. Certified personal trainers can offer extra guidance to really boost to your exercise routine.

Everyone loves an incentive! That's why many Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) and other health plan providers are now reimbursing a portion of their member's health club fees. In most programs, when a member meets a certain number of fitness requirements each month, the HMO will reimburse a set dollar amount. This empowers its members to be more active and take charge of their health. This is a win-win for all involved, as members rely less on the health care system and more on making good decisions about habits and lifestyle.

A list of the organizations we currently partner with is shown below:

• Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota

• Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota

• Health Partners

• Medica

• Definity Health Care

• Ucare Minnesota

Interested in participating in a reimbursement program? Whether you're a club member who doesn't see their provider on the list, or you're a provider that would like to initiate a program, you should contact NIHCA, the National Independent Health Club Association.

Anytime Fitness partners with NIHCA to implement its reimbursement programs. For more information, please contact Holly at NIHCA. The toll-free number is (866) 484-9173. On the web, please visit www.nihca.org.
