- If prepaid, must show proof of payment for the full year.
- If monthly, you must have proof of payment for at least 10-months (payments can be made to different locations. For example: online gym for 6 months and then an in-person gym for 4 months)
- The online membership must have a physical fitness/activity component.
- Class passes, punch cards, home equipment and supplies are not eligible.
- Only one reimbursement request accepted per student each academic year.
