Certified Fitness Trainer Explains | How HSA/FSA Dollars Can Now Support Your Fitness & Health at Elevate Fitness
For many years, Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) were mainly reserved for medical bills, prescriptions, and traditional healthcare. Recently, however, a major shift has taken place in how health and wellness are viewed — and it’s opening powerful doors for people right here in Dallas, TX who want to invest in their long-term health.
You can now use HSA/FSA funds — in approved cases — to help cover medically supported fitness programs. This means qualifying adults can use pre-tax dollars to work with a certified personal trainer at Elevate Fitness and receive programming designed to support pain reduction, mobility, strength, and metabolic health.
Why is this such a big deal? Because our healthcare system is finally recognizing what we’ve always known: exercise is medicine. Instead of waiting until pain, injuries, weight gain, or metabolic problems arise, individuals can now take proactive steps to improve their health before major issues occur. Preventive fitness training can help reduce joint pain, improve mobility, support weight loss efforts, and enhance strength and stability — all key factors in delaying or avoiding costly medical care.
If you're not familiar with HSAs and FSAs, here’s a quick overview. An HSA is a tax-advantaged health account used mainly by individuals with high-deductible insurance plans. Funds roll over each year and can even be invested. An FSA is offered through many employers and also allows you to use pre-tax dollars — though funds typically expire at the end of the benefit year. Both accounts are designed to help pay for qualified health-related expenses, and now, under the right circumstances, medically-supported personal training may be one of them.
To make this process simple and compliant, Elevate Fitness has partnered with Truemed, a company that connects individuals with licensed medical providers who can determine whether they are eligible to use HSA/FSA funds for qualified exercise programs. The approval process takes about a minute online. If approved, you can put tax-advantaged dollars toward your fitness investment and receive a physician-supported training plan tailored to your health needs and goals.
This benefit does not only save money — it helps promote long-term wellness. We are already seeing individuals use their HSA/FSA benefits to build strength, reduce pain, improve metabolic health, and stay consistent with a structured fitness plan. It’s an empowering step toward taking control of your health and making wellness a priority, rather than an afterthought.
Eligibility is determined individually through Truemed, and while we do not directly accept HSA/FSA cards in-house, approved members may use their funds for reimbursement once they begin their program. It's a seamless way to make your fitness dollars work smarter for you.
