Fitness facilities can submit applications online at www.washingtonwellness.gov/resources_physical_clubs.shtml.
Who is Washington Wellness?
Washington Wellness is part of the Washington State Government and can be found online at www.washingtonwellness.gov.
What is the Fitness Club Discount Program?
The Fitness Club Discount Program is a directory of fitness facilities that have, for the most part, offered discounts to Washington State government employees, retirees, and dependents.
What are the benefits of participating?
By listing your facility in our directory, you will be helping Washington Wellness in the promotion and support of physical activity in the state. In addition, as part of our Fitness Club Discount Program, your listing will be actively promoted to 300,000 potential customers (the goverment employees, retirees, and family members that Washington Wellness serves) through direct, employer, and health plan communication channels.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. There is no absolutely no charge for participating.
Do I have to offer a discount to in order to participate?
While it may help to drive business, noo. All discounts are optional and your facility will be listed regardless of whether you provide a discount or not.
What facilities can participate?
All Washington, Oregon, or Idaho fitness facilites are welcome to participate. Examples of facilities include fitness clubs, health clubs, gyms, yoga studios, Pilates studios, martial arts facilities, and non-profit community agencies or organizations with fitness facilities (such as the YMCA).
Who can fill out the application?
You must:
- be a staff member of the fitness facility you are submitting the application for,
- be approved to represent your fitness facility, and
- have the authority to offer any discounts you provide on the application
Why do you need my personal contact information?
We need to be able to contact you to verify your application, verify your rates once per year (for the following year), and update you on new features of the Fitness Club Discount Program. We also ask for an alternate representative's contact information in case we are unable to contact you to renew your listing. All personal contact information is kept private except on the rare occassion when we have to forward an email to you from a potential (or current) member that is having issues with your facility that cannot be resolved by a general staff member.
How long will it take for my facility to get listed on your website?
The time between submitting an application and it appearing on the website can take up to two weeks. Please wait until then before following up.
When would my facility information be removed?
We will remove facilities from our fitness club list that ask to be removed, have closed, we are unable to contact at least once per year, or do not meet the requirements set forth in the legal agreement. We will make every effort to contact that facility (email, phone, look up via their website, etc.) in order to resolve any issues first as removing facilities from our list is the last thing we want to do. In the case that a fitness club is removed erroneously, the facility is encouraged to contact us so we can add them back on.
How and where do I submit my application?
After reading this FAQ and the legal agreement, you can submit your application online at www.washingtonwellness.gov/resources_physical_clubs.shtml.
What if I have qustions or need to update my facility listing?
Please email Washington Wellness or contact us directly.
