Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the SilverSneakers® Fitness Program?
This fitness program is offered in partnership with select health plans at not additional cost to Medicare-eligible members. Each member is entitled to a basic membership at a SilverSneakers fitness center. Searcy Athletic Club is the designated club in this area. The basic membership includes the SilverSneakers classes, other classes on the schedule, intros from qualified fitness staff, social activities (see Events page), and the use of fitness center amenities such as swimming pools, steam rooms, and whirlpools, if available. You may sign up for intros with a fitness center staff person prior to operating or exercising on any equipment. You will learn the safe and proper way to use all equipment.
What do I need to know about starting an exercise program?
-Wear comfortable clothing and rubber-soled shoes (not black-soled).
-Drink plenty of water. You may bring your own water bottle, or you may buy water at the front desk.
-Remember to listen to your body. It is okay to slow down and rest.
-Communicate to your instructor any question or concerns you have about the class.
Is the membership in the program really available at no additional cost?
Yes! There are no initiation or monthly fees for this program. However, if you request any services that are not included in a basic fitness center membership there may be an additional charge. For example, massages, tanning, and personal training are available for an additional fee.
May I visit more than one fitness center?
Yes! Once you join, you may attend classes or participate in any of the SilverSneakers Fitness Program contracted fitness centers in the country. Your primary membership will be at the fitness center where you originally joined. When you visit a different fitness center you will need to present your health care provider member card and complete a SilverSneakers Guest Enrollment form. When you travel, simply visit our website to locate a participating fitness center.
Do you have any additional questions?
Don’t wait….. ask your Senior Advisor, visit our website at www.silversneakers.com, or call your health care provider’s Member Services number.
