Staying Fit
A key part of overall health is physical fitness.
Schedules, work, and unforeseen events can make it difficult to get out and exercise. However, your wellness benefits include several free and low-cost resources to help you exercise at home, outside, or at the gym, making staying fit more manageable.
Well onTarget (gym memberships)
As a UT SELECT or UT CARE member, you can take advantage of Well On Target, which provides low-cost access to 13,000+ gyms and fitness studios near your home and work with one simple membership. Enjoy amenities like sports courts, saunas, round-the-clock access, and more!
