Join Virgin Active or Planet Fitness with Discovery Life - 2009 rates

People that are not on Discovery Health, can get Vitality through Discovery Life. That means you can pay R850 once off to join Virgin Active or Planet Fitness!

Until the beginning of 2009 the minimum premium needed for Discovery Life clients to have Vitality attached was R200 per month and Vitality R105 per month. In total the premium was R305!

This minimum premium rule has changed with effect of March 2009!

The minimum premium is now R350 and Vitality has remained unchanged at R105, therefore the total premium is R455!

The main reason why this change took place was because of the Pick n Pay HealthyFood Benefit. Clients on Vitality, that have this benefit, are saving hundred of Rands per month. This means that because of the huge savings Discovery Life increased the minimum rules.

But it is not bad news! Most Vitality members that are using Pick n Pay HealthyFood are saving about R500 a month. That means you can get this benefit for almost "free".

For R455 per month you get:

• Life insurance
• Lifetime gym membership at Virgin Active or Planet Fitness for R850 once-off payments
• All the Vitality benefits
• Savings at Pick n Pay

Virgin Active new rates for 2009 - ouch!

The year 2009 has started off where 2008 has left off - increasing prices of everything from food to clothes. To make matters worse, Virgin Active have pushed up their prices as well on most of their contracts for new and exisitng members.

That means it's going to cost you that little bit more to de-stress, but you now you are more stressed which means you must go to gym, which reminds you that you have to pay more and .... you get into a SPIN!

I personally think that even R400 a month you are getting value for what you get. I mean you do feel better and you can use the gym for showering and reducing you water costs (if only slightly).

The thing that bugs most the people we speak to is that they now have to pay almost R400 for a contract and then they hear from their mates who are on Discovery Medical Aid that they only pay R850 once off.

I would also be cross if i was them. But not for much longer.

If you take a life insurance policy with Discovery Life (not the medical aid) you can add Vitality, which is the benefit that allows you to make the once off payments to the gym.

If you want to do the maths the minimum premium with Discovery Life including Vitality is R305 per month and for that you get

- A fortune of life insurance
- Lifetime gym membership

For almost R100 less then you current Virgin memeberhip.

Virgin Active members who have a current contract don't have to worry. Discovery Life and Vitality will replace your contract at no extra cost to you.

Since the inception of Discovery Health they have always maintained that healthy people mean healthy profits. To make people healthier they offer the Vitality Benefit. The Vitality Benefit offers people discounts and rewards for being healthy.

One of the many benefits that Vitality offers is a huge gym discount. Vitality members can join Virgin Active or Planet Fitness for only R850 once off. As long as a member goes to gym 24 times in a 12 month period they NEVER have to pay the gym another cent!
But what happens if you are NOT on Discovery Health?

Some of the reasons you may NOT on Discovery Health is because of choice or because you are on a compulsory medical aid through your company.
THERE IS ANOTHER WAY TO GET VITALITY – THROUGH DISCOVERY LIFE!

There is a great website http://www.gymforless.co.za/ that explains to you how you can get all the benefits of Vitality without being a Discovery Health client.
If you buy a life insurance policy with Discovery Life for R200 a month you can attach Vitality for an extra R105 per month.
That means you pay R305 per month – a cheaper price then you would pay Virgin Active or Planet Fitness PLUS you get life insurance. All you have to do is pay R850 once off to the gym.

This really is a great benefit. For more information about please go to http://www.gymforless.co.za/

Virgin Active and Planet Fitness - How can husbands and wives join on one Discovery Life policy?

For an individual to join the gym through Vitality and Discovery Life it is a 3 step process:

1. Take a Discovery Life policy with a minimum premium of R200 per month

2. Attach the Vitality Benefit which costs an additonal R105 per month

3. Vitality members only pay R850 once off to either Planet Fitness or Virgin Active

If you compare that to a regular gym contract (that will cost you anywhere between R300 - R400 per month) you can see the value. You basically get free life insurance besides the other great Vitality benefits.

IF YOU THINK THAT IS VALUE NOW LOOK HOW MUCH YOU SAVE WHEN YOUR SPOUSE JOINS!

To add a spouse it is 6 easy steps:

1. The main member takes a Discovery Life policy with a minimum premium of R200

2. The spouse must have a minimum of R50, 000 life cover (costs about R10 extra on average)

3. Vitality for 2 memebrs is R122 per month

4. Both members pay R850 once of to join the gym

5. If both husband and wife join the same gym then the spouse pays an additonal to R65 per month if they belong to Virgin Active, and R95 per month if they belong to Planet Fitness.

6. If the husband and wife go to different gyms (eg husband goes to Planet Fitness and wife goes to Virgin Active) there is NO additonal monthly premium.

A regular gym contract will charge BOTH the husband and wife nearly R400 each - a monthly spend of R800.

By taking the Discovery Life policy the combined monthly premium will be an estimated R397 with Virgin Active and R427 with Planet Fitness. Look at that for a Saving!!
