Can Your Health Cover Help You Get Fitter? Here’s How

Are you looking to feel your best this summer? It can be a self-conscious time of year, but let’s make 2025 the year you leave your worries behind. And actually enjoy swimming with the kids or sunbathing on the beach.

Did you know private health insurance can help you become more active, healthier, and more proactive in your fitness goals? Probably, because we talk about it all the time! But while most people think of health insurance as something you use when you're ill, many modern policies now include wellness and fitness benefits that get us moving. In turn, promising a healthier and happier life!

Give us a call today to see how a supportive PMI has changed our lifestyle! And we’ll cherry-pick the most suitable policy just for you.

Did you know PMI can include gym discounts and fitness rewards?

Yes really! Many insurers partner with well-known gyms and fitness brands. Think discounted memberships at PureGym, Nuffield Health, David Lloyd, or Virgin Active, and more! Alongside this, you can expect cashback or rewards for tracking exercise. Plus, even discounts on home fitness equipment, apps, and wearables.

For example, Vitality Health offers incentives like free Apple Watches and discounted gym memberships when you hit fitness activity targets each month.

Do you feel like you need extra support for nutrition and lifestyle coaching?

Think nutritionists or dietitian consultations. Wellness coaches or lifestyle planning sessions. Or mental health support, which can help give you motivation to stay active. 

How does faster access to physio and sports injury treatment sound?

For some, getting moving comes with physical blocks. PMI can get this fixed before your next run. Staying active means you might face the occasional strain or injury. But quick access to physiotherapy, referrals to sports medicine specialists, and cover for treatments like osteopathy or chiropractic care can all help!

Equally, PMI means reduced waiting times for tests and treatment

You’ll skip long waits for diagnostics like MRIs or blood tests. Access consultations quickly, so problems can be addressed sooner. So you’ll get back on track faster after illness or injury!

Finally, let’s look at incentivised wellness programs

Some insurers offer reward schemes that turn healthy habits into real-world perks. These might include:

  • Discounts on activewear, bikes, or sports events
  • Free cinema tickets, coffee, or travel rewards for hitting step counts or gym sessions
  • Wellness apps with tracking tools and personalised plans

Private medical insurance isn't just about illness. It's evolving to support whole-life wellbeing. Whether it’s getting back on your feet after injury or helping you stay fit with discounts and incentives, it’ll play a critical role in helping you live a more active life. And in turn, helping you feel more confident no matter the weather!
