ThriveOn offers a gym membership reimbursement program to encourage you to take steps to improve your health. Physical activity is an important part of overall health and well-being: we want to help you get and stay fit!

Who is eligible to submit for reimbursement?
All benefits-eligible employees and benefits-enrolled spouses/domestic partners in the Franklin County Cooperative are eligible to receive reimbursement. One person per household eligible per month except households with two eligible employees (i.e- spouses or parent/dependent child).

How do I apply for a gym reimbursement?
To qualify, you must provide proof of payment and proof of attendance at your gym. Please ensure your name is listed on both your proof of payment and proof of attendance. You will only be reimbursed for those months you can verify payment and activity.

How much will be reimbursed? How often do I have to go to the gym?
How often you use your membership determines how much you will be reimbursed. It must be the same person visiting the gym each time during the month. We do not reimburse annual fees.
0-3 days per month - no reimbursement
4-7 days per month - 50% of monthly membership cost, up to $25/month
8 or more days per month - 100% of monthly membership cost, up to $50/month
You can combine visits from two gyms. Please note, you must show proof of payment and proof of attendance for both gyms.

What if I miss the submission deadline?
We will not extend any deadlines. If you do not submit your form by the deadline for that quarter, you will miss out on the reimbursement opportunity. The online submission form closes at 11:59 p.m. on the submission deadline date.
