<a href="https://fitnesspremierclubs.com/own-a-fitness-premier/">Fitness Premier 24/7 Clubs</a> has partnered with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.truemed.com/">Truemed</a>, a payment platform that enables qualified customers to use health savings account and flexible spending account funds on eligible health purchases, giving members a new way to put their pre-tax dollars toward gym memberships, personal training and recovery services."For a while, everybody in our industry was talking about how to tap into that resource so that people can use those benefits for items like memberships and personal training," said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rick-king-3954a1143/">Rick King</a>, vice president of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/fitness-premier/info">Fitness Premier</a>. "In the past, there was really never a good avenue or a straight line path for that to happen. I know that I have friends and family who have huge HSA and FSA accounts that they have to go try to spend at the end of the year, and it goes underutilized."The process involves a brief online intake survey that takes roughly 3 minutes to complete. If someone qualifies, they can apply those funds to a gym membership and related services. Coverage varies by plan, but members can apply those funds toward dues and additional services, such as personal or group training.&nbsp;Once the survey is submitted, an independent licensed clinician reviews the information and determines whether a Letter of Medical Necessity can be issued. King said the turnaround is fast and the odds are favorable, with an approval rate above 80%.<h2>A New Angle for Corporate Wellness</h2>Beyond individual members, the partnership gives Fitness Premier a stronger foothold in corporate wellness conversations, where budget constraints have historically made it difficult to build new programs with local businesses."A lot of times employers are saying, 'Hey, we already contribute a lot of money toward corporate wellness, there really isn't any more budget to design a program specifically with you,'" King said. "So it gives us a better angle going into the conversation — we're not asking them to put together a program above and beyond what they're already doing, but just letting them know we can accept the HSA and FSA funds they're already contributing to."Fitness Premier expects the partnership to reshape how prospective members think about gym memberships, encouraging them to see fitness as an ongoing health need rather than a discretionary purchase.“We're definitely seeing more traffic in our gyms, so I know that is going to help with that, but also we have our recovery space too,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillyan-morris/">Jillyan Morris</a>, franchisee success manager at Fitness Premier. “So not only are people invested in their health and fitness journey, but they're also investing in recovery, too, and the extra money they're already putting aside in their HSA or flexible spending account can help cover that as well.”<h2>Built to Last</h2>King said Truemed provided staff training and marketing materials — including email campaigns and in-club signage — to support the rollout, and he encouraged other gym owners to look into the partnership.&nbsp;"If there's any other fitness owners, independent gym owners out there reading this, it would be a really good phone call or contact to make," he said. "They really did a good job as a company, their follow-up is good, and they're serving us well."By unlocking pre-tax health dollars for fitness, the brand is not only lowering barriers to entry but also reinforcing the idea that consistent exercise is a core part of overall healthcare. For members who have long wondered how to use those HSA and FSA balances, the answer may now be as simple as going to the gym.To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://ownafitnesspremier.com/.">https://ownafitnesspremier.com/.</a>&nbsp;

SARASOTA, Fla.&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="https://ownafitnesspremier.com/">Fitness Premier 24/7 Clubs</a> has opened in Florida for the very first time with a new location in Sarasota under the leadership of new franchise owner Dani Stiegelmeyer. With a strong background in fitness, sports and marketing, Stiegelmeyer is excited to bring&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/fitness-premier/info">Fitness Premier’s</a> community-focused approach to Florida for the first time.&nbsp;The gym is located at 3530 Clark Road, just outside Gulf Gate Estates in South Sarasota. It’s conveniently situated less than 10 minutes from Siesta Key Beach and 10 to 15 minutes from the UTC District and University Parkway. Nearby landmarks include the intersection of Beneva Road and Clark Road, with easy access from U.S. Route 41. Hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The gym can be reached at 941-298-0823.&nbsp;"I've lived in Sarasota for a while now, around five years, and I've been in the gym for a long time,” Stiegelmeyer said. “That location is honestly such a prime spot — it's beautiful. Sarasota is one of my favorite places I've lived so far. I actually used to work right across the street, so I know the area and all the businesses really well.”As Stiegelmeyer and her team prepare for the opening, updates to the space are well underway. Fresh paint and design changes are being finalized, and she is eager to transform the gym into a space that reflects Fitness Premier’s signature clean and welcoming style.Fitness Premier’s strong corporate support and emphasis on transparency stood out to Stiegelmeyer when choosing to join the brand. She also points to unique features that set Fitness Premier apart from other local gyms, including user-friendly technology at the front desk and the&nbsp;<a href="https://fitnesspremierclubs.com/fitwave-club/">fitWAVE group training program</a>, which offers small group sessions that blend the benefits of personal training with a community atmosphere.“fitWAVE is really cool to see because you don't get that at a lot of other places,” she said. “Usually you’re either by yourself or it's one-on-one with a trainer. You might have classes elsewhere, but not smaller, personal training groups like this.”Building a sense of community is a major priority for Stiegelmeyer, who views fitness as an important part of life for busy professionals, parents and business owners alike. She hopes to create a welcoming space where members feel connected not just by their workouts, but by the shared experiences of everyday life. “We're all in this together,” she said.In the short term, Stiegelmeyer’s focus is on ensuring a smooth opening and making sure every member feels confident and comfortable from day one. Long term, she has her sights set on expansion. “We would like to, down the road, have more than one,” she said.&nbsp;Ahead of the opening, Stiegelmeyer and her team are planning presale membership opportunities and considering options like a hard hat tour to give prospective members a sneak peek of the renovations. The goal is to show the community the transformation and invite them to be part of something new and exciting.The Sarasota Fitness Premier 24/7 Club will deliver a personalized, supportive fitness experience designed to empower members and strengthen community ties.
