About HSAs + FSAs For Fitness

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) are tax-advantaged savings accounts that allow people pay for qualified medical expenses with untaxed funds.

If someone exercises to prevent or treat a medical condition, related costs like gym memberships, fitness classes and personal training fees may qualify as qualified medical expenses they can pay with HSA/FSA funds. But to qualify, a licensed medical provider must confirm the fitness-treatment connection in a document called a Letter of Medical Necessity.

Dr. B makes it convenient for patients to get their Letter of Medical Necessity online through a seamless, affordable virtual consultation.

How can I use my HSA/FSA for my workouts?

Fitness can transform whole-body health. If you exercise to prevent or treat a medical condition, you may qualify to get a Letter of Medical Necessity to unlock your HSA or FSA funds and get up to the entire cost of your classes, memberships and personal training reimbursed!

Most people save 20-40% by using those tax-free funds—how much you save overall will depend on your income tax bracket.

What is an HSA or FSA account?

Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) allow you to save pre-tax dollars you can use to pay for eligible medical expenses. Fitness fees do not immediately qualify as eligible HSA/FSA expenses, but they do qualify if a provider recommends exercise to prevent or treat a medical condition.

To qualify those expenses for reimbursement with an HSA/FSA administrator, you need a Letter of Medical Necessity from a provider. Our partner, Dr. B, offers online consultations with licensed providers in every state—365 days a year.

Who is Dr. B?

Dr. B offers affordable telehealth with the same care and quality you’d get from your favorite family doctor—without the waiting room. Patients can get $15 online consultations for a wide variety of conditions and send prescriptions to the pharmacy of their choice. They can also help provide qualifying patients with the Letter of Medical Necessity required for HSA/FSA fitness reimbursements.

Why Can't I Always Lift My Max?

By Derek Saffold • February 19, 2026
Strength expression is our ability to show or utilize the strength we have. We call it expression because in the world of lifting, CrossFit, functional fitness, or training, our ability to show that strength varies. Even though our potential strength is the same, we are not always able to fully express it the way we want. Whether that is hitting a max back squat, doing heavy thrusters in a CrossFit style workout, or hitting that heavy clean complex when olympic lifting, we will not always be able to hit our maxes, this is because of factors outside of just our strength itself.
