If You Can Save Money By Exercising More, Would You Do It?

We are more than halfway through the summer. How’s your new year’s resolution going? Have you achieved your fitness goal? If yes, congratulations! If no, don’t worry. You still have four more months. Mark Twain said: “The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex, overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.”

Being healthy doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right fitness programs and tools, we can still get it done. To help you achieve your fitness goal, I want to introduce the Vitality Program to you. Manulife Vitality can help you start making little changes today. After joining the program, you will receive the following benefits:

1. GoodLife Fitness – $399 / year *

GoodLife Fitness is the largest gym chain in Canada with over 300 locations across the country. Normally, an individual one-year membership costs more than $800. As a Manulife Vitality member, you can purchase a one year Goodlife Fitness membership for only $399. This includes unlimited access to all clubs in Canada and towel service. Besides, you can receive up to 30% off over 150 popular brands. Just being a GoodLife member, you may save more than the cost of your gym membership.

2. Free Garmin vívofit 4 Activity Tracker

As soon as you become a Vitality member, you can get a free Garmin vívofit 4 to help you stay active and track your progress. If you prefer to upgrade your activity tracker to the latest wearable products, you can take advantage of its exclusive member upgrade prices.

3. Apple Watch 3 or 4 *

If you like Apple Watch, I’ve got good news for you. You can get an Apple Watch 3 for just $39 or an Apple Watch 4 for just $99.

4. Hotels.com Discounts

You can earn up to half off a hotel stay for two nights per program year from Hotels.com. Your discount level is based on your Vitality Rewards Status. The higher the level, the bigger the discount.
Silver: 15%
Gold: 25%
Platinum: 50%

5. Amazon.ca Gift Cards

Each time you earn a higher Vitality Status, you will receive an Amazon.ca gift card. When you reach the Platinum level, you may receive a total value of $90 in Amazon gift cards.
Silver: $15
Gold: $25
Platinum: $50

6. ExamOne Health Assessment

Vitality members can enjoy a health assessment every year from ExamOne. In addition, they will receive a detailed medical report to help them understand their assessment results.

How much can you save by becoming a Vitality Member? Let’s see the example below:

Henry is a sports enthusiast who goes to the gym several times a week. He also travels once a year to explore the world. When he first heard of the Vitality program, he joined it immediately. At the end of the year, he couldn’t believe how much money he had saved.

Vitality Status:

For everything you do every day to stay healthy, Vitality wants to reward you. You can earn Vitality Points by completing health-related activities such as walking, going to the gym or completing a health survey. Each year, the number of points you earn determines your Vitality Status (Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum) and you receive the corresponding reward.

How to join Vitality?

The Vitality Group is a UK-based company with partners in Canada, the USA, Europe, Japan, China and Japan. In Canada, it partners with Manulife to deliver this program.

There are two ways to become a member:

1. Manulife Vitality for Group Benefits Members

If your group benefits are provided by Manulife, you are probably already a Vitality member. You can enjoy the benefits immediately.

2. Manulife Vitality for Individuals

If your company doesn’t offer Manulife Group Benefits, you can join the program as an individual. Currently, the Vitality program is only open to those who have Manulife Term Life policies. Therefore, if you want to enjoy the exclusive benefits above, you need to get a Manulife Family Term with Vitality policy. The price of term life insurance is very competitive. For example, for a 30-year-old healthy male, a T10 $500,000 policy costs less than $300 for the first year. In addition, the premium will be adjusted according to your Vitality status annually. The best part is, the higher the status, the lower the next year’s premium may be. In other words, if you live a healthy lifestyle, you may save even more on your insurance premium next year. Nevertheless, if you don’t like this program, you can cancel it anytime without any restrictions.

If you want to join the Vitality family and live a healthier life, please contact me. If you are a small business owner and wants to provide group benefits to all your employees, I can help you too.
