As a Blue Cross employee (and member) I signed up for Healthways and joined LA Fitness in Allen Park. I used to belong to the $10 a month gym, but I’m excited that this program gives me access to a facility with a pool, sauna, group workout classes and more. Plus if I travel for work or want to check out a different location, I don’t have to sign up for a different membership.
Still on the fence? Check out what some other Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan team members have to say about the program below:
“Joining the Healthways program is a convenient and budget friendly way to get fit. Last year I trained for a sprint triathlon and my Healthways membership helped me find a gym with a pool that was both within my budget and close to home.” – Helen Carlisle, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan
“Using Healthways saved me money on my gym membership. I like that there is also a yoga studio in the network that is just up the street from my house. I have more options to exercise for less money a month.” – Jennifer McCallion, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan

I am on Medicare, but I have a supplemental insurance with AARP through United Health Care, and I was told by United to come to this site for assistance with a YMCA membership. Can you please assist? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Nitzia, Thanks for reaching out. To clarify, this offer is for Blue Cross members, so if your coverage is through United Healthcare, unfortunately it won’t apply.

great how the hell do I cancel as you keep withdrawing money. I have made it unavailable but you try every few days till it debits my account. STOP. You make it next to impossible as I can not find a login portal for my account and the bookmark I saved is broken. What the hell. This is extortion.

We’re sorry to hear you’re unhappy, and we’d like help you find a resolution. If you can please provide us with some information here, http://miblues.co/1Bb6oI4, a member from our team will reach out to you directly.
Thank you,

Tivity Health was formerly known as Healthways. References to “Healthways” in the article might confuse people who are not aware of the name change.
What a way not to get fit……Why is the YMCA not on your list? I am a person with a disability and trying to loose weight and you do not include the Mary Free Bed YMCA in grand rapids which is centered for individuals with a disability….who are trying to be healthy and loose weight etc…shame shame on you!
We appreciate the feedback and will certainly consider when developing new content. Thanks!

The only thing near us is YMCA. And it is real nice.
Why are there no participating gyms in Detroit? Detroit has a number of federal employees who are BCBS members. The building I work in has two gyms yet neither are on this list. Are you working on getting gyms in Detroit on this list? Such a shame a major American city and you have nothing available.
Thanks for your feedback. We will share your comment with the program coordinators.
Where is the link to sign up??? This needs to be extended so we can reach the gym!!

I was going to sign up but company took out life time from the program
Please attempt to find a place in Bethany Beach Delaware area. There are a few gyms but to date they do NOT participate. So many people vacation in this area a don’t want to disrupt their workouts with vacation.
My husband and I live down here during the summer months and have no place to workout that participated in this program.
Otherwise the program is great!
Can I use all the planet fitness gyms in the same city I live in or can I only use one. I signed up with my healthways card at a Planet fitness in Webster NY, today I went to the one in Irondequoit NY and they told me I can only use the one I signed up at.. I thought I could use any of the them..
How do i sign up for the wellness program, having difficulties follow the on-line direction, can you call me to assist in this matter.
Hi Jessie! We’d be happy to help answer any questions you have. If you could give us a call at 1-855-237-3501, a member of our team will help guide you through the sign up process. Thanks, Sam
