Frequently Asked Questions: Gym & Fitness Center Membership
Is Gym & Fitness Center Membership covered by my FSA?
No. Gym & Fitness Center Membership is eligible for HSAs under new 2026 rules, but is not approved for standard Flexible Spending Accounts.
Do I need a prescription to buy Gym & Fitness Center Membership?
No prescription is needed. Over-the-counter health supplies and medications have been fully eligible without a doctor's prescription since the CARES Act of 2020.
What documentation do I need to keep for my Gym & Fitness Center Membership claim?
Save an itemized receipt or receipt email showing the merchant name, date of purchase, product description ("Gym & Fitness Center Membership"), and amount paid. Credit card statements alone do not satisfy IRS audit requirements.
Where is the best place to purchase Gym & Fitness Center Membership with an FSA card?
You can purchase directly at FSA-certified online retailers such as the FSA Store, or on Amazon using the FSA/HSA filter. Both accept benefits cards directly during checkout.
