TRS-Care: Fitness and Wellness Resources

The Pulse, September 2021

If there’s anything we’ve learned over the last year, it’s that we’re all healthier when we work together. So TRS has wellness resources included with your health plan that are available to you whenever you need them.

TRS-Care Standard

Make the Fitness Program Work for You

As a TRS-Care Standard participant, the Fitness Program is available exclusively to you and your covered dependents (age 16 and older). This program offers a nationwide network of fitness locations, meaning you can choose a convenient gym close to home and can even use participating gyms when traveling!

The affordable, no-contract membership gives you a choice of gyms to fit your budget and preferences, starting at a very affordable $19/month. There is even a digital access program that starts at $10/month!

Register or log in to Blue Access for MembersSM (BAMSM) and click Fitness Program under Quick Links. You can enroll, search for nearby fitness locations, and learn more about the program on this page.
