UPlan Fitness Rewards

Recreational Sports members enrolled in the Fitness Rewards program are eligible to receive a $20-a-month reimbursement for membership fees. The new UPlan Fitness Rewards program, offered through the Office of Human Resources, rewards members for using the University Recreation Center and St. Paul Gymnasium at least 8 times per month. A maximum of two qualifying adults per household may enroll in the program.

Reimbursement Process

UPlan Fitness Rewards will be directly deposited (via an electronic funds transfer) into qualifying members' personal checking or savings accounts. There will be a two month delay between the month during which a member exercises and the month in which he or she receives the reward. For example, members completing the required number of visits in February will have their participation validated in March and will have their accounts credited in late March or early April. If a member fails to visit eight times during a month, the payment of future rewards will adhere to this schedule as well.
