However, for some, it's no secret. The remedy they use is called the Silver&Fit Healthy Aging and Exercise Program, and it's a benefit Health First Health Plans Medicare Advantage members can enroll in at no cost.
"People are living longer, they're trying to eat better, stay healthy, be active, so it's really important for us to provide Medicare members easy access to do that," said Denitza Hernandez, Health First Health Plans Medicare Sales Director.
Hernandez says the program offers a robust fitness center network, select gyms and additional options based on Medicare members' unique needs.
The free fitness program also allows for a home fitness option, and can choose up to two home fitness kits per benefit year from 35 available options.
"Our top priority is to continue to promote wellness and health," said Marianne Leppard, Health First Health Plans Medicare Sales Associate. "Their healthcare journey is important to us, and we want to show that in what we have to offer."
It's proven that regular exercise can improve overall health, muscle strength and boost endurance. It can also help with weight loss, increase energy levels and improve sleep quality.
Leppard says members who utilize Silver&Fit are sincere and genuine when sharing information about its many benefits - one being the program is nationwide can be used throughout the United States.
"They'll call and say, 'Thank you so much, thank you, Health First Health Plans for providing us with such wonderful benefits that I've told my friends and neighbors about them,'" Leppard said.
As a result, interest continues to grow every year as the free program allows members to save on traditional gym fees, which is important for people who are living on a fixed budget.
It's a journey that helps supports unique fitness needs and also Health First Health Plans associates who continue to make sure these services are available for the community.
