Changes to IPMs and Senior Programs in 2025
Many changes will take place in the new year regarding the fitness benefits that insurance companies are providing to its members. Ballard Health Club has been in contact with these fitness benefit programs for several months to investigate what this means and how we can best support our members with these changes.
Here are the changes for each fitness benefit provider:
• Silver & Fit: Ballard Health Club will be a part of the Silver & Fit Premium Network and members will receive a PLUS Membership in 2025. Please contact your insurance provider to learn more about how to upgrade your Silver & Fit benefit to the Premium program.
• FitOn: With Premera no longer offering Medicare Advantage plans in 2025, FitOn will only be available with Premera Medicare Supplemental plans in 2025. FitOn grants a PLUS membership at BHC.
• Renew Active: No change. Renew Active members receive a Basic Membership and may upgrade to the PLUS Membership for $30/month or $300/year
• OnePass: New in 2025. OnePass members receive a Basic Membership as part of their plan and may upgrade to the PLUS Membership for $30/month or $300/year
• Silver Sneakers: Silver Sneakers will no longer be a supported fitness benefit plan at Ballard Health Club. A separate letter will be mailed to members affected by this change.
Additional changes in 2025:
Silver Sneakers @ Leif Erikson classes will be rebranded to ‘Silver Fitness @ Leif Erikson’
The Silver Fitness class will be treated as all other classes at BHC and a PLUS Membership will be required to attend

What BHC is doing to ease the transition into 2025:
To prevent any disruption to our members’ access to the gym and/or classes while adjusting to all Insurance Provided Membership changes, Ballard Health Club will continue each IPM during the month of January 2025 at no cost to the member.
If you have any questions regarding Insurance Provided Memberships or any of the changes stated above, please contact us at silver@ballardhealthclub.com.
