Staying Fit with Medicare

Let’s Get  Moving!  Exercise can be fun, encouraging, and doable — no matter your age or fitness level!  Staying active is one of the best things you can do for your health as you get older. The good news is that Medicare may help support your wellness goals in more ways than you realize.  From preventive screenings to fitness benefits included in some plans, today’s Medicare options can play a role in helping you stay strong, mobile, and independent.  When it comes to healthy aging, every step counts.

Your Free Annual Wellness Visit

Medicare covers a yearly Annual Wellness Visit with a $0 copay.  Think of this as your personal “health tune-up.”  It’s a chance to keep a clear picture of your health, helping you stay strong and independent.  During this visit, your provider reviews important things like:

• Blood pressure

• Cholesterol

• Weight

• Preventive screenings

• Overall health goals

Gym Memberships with Medicare Advantage Plans

Many Medicare Advantage plans include fitness programs that make it easier to stay active.

Popular benefits like SilverSneakers® or Renew Active® may offer:

• Access to local gyms and fitness centers

• Group classes such as yoga, stretching, or strength training

• Swimming programs

• Social opportunities to stay connected

Often, these benefits are included at no additional cost.

Fitness Benefits with Medigap Plans

While gym perks are commonly associated with Medicare Advantage, some Medicare Supplement plans in New York may also include fitness incentives or discounts.

Why Staying Active Matters

Movement truly is medicine.  Regular activity can help:

• Improve balance and reduce the risk of falls

• Strengthen muscles and joints

• Boost energy and mood

• Support heart health

• Encourage social interaction and engagement

Many gyms, YMCAs, and community centers partner with Medicare plans to provide welcoming environments where staying active also means staying connected.  Fitness isn’t only about exercise — it’s about enjoying life and maintaining independence.
