SilverSneakers gives members access to thousands of gyms nationwide. Here's how to find participating locations near you and confirm your eligibility.
How to find SilverSneakers gyms near you
First, confirm you have SilverSneakers through your Medicare plan, then use the official location finder. On SilverSneakers.com, enter your ZIP code in the 'Find a Location' tool, or use the SilverSneakers GO app to search nearby gyms, classes, and community sites. The network includes roughly 14,000 participating locations—national gym chains, YMCAs, community and senior centers, and more. Call ahead to confirm a specific location still participates and to ask about class schedules, since networks change year to year. Many locations also offer SilverSneakers-branded group classes designed specifically for older adults.
Confirm your plan includes SilverSneakers first
Access to participating gyms requires an eligible Medicare plan. SilverSneakers is included at no extra cost through many Medicare Advantage plans and a few Medicare Supplement (Medigap) carriers, but not through Original Medicare alone. Importantly, fewer plans offer SilverSneakers in 2026 as some carriers switched to other fitness benefits or dropped them. Check your plan's Summary of Benefits for 'SilverSneakers,' call the number on your insurance card, or use the eligibility checker on SilverSneakers.com. If your plan doesn't include it, a licensed agent at 1-800-MEDIGAP (1-800-633-4427) can help you compare plans that do.
No SilverSneakers? Compare your options
If your current plan dropped SilverSneakers or never included it, you may have alternatives. Some plans offer different fitness benefits like Renew Active or Silver&Fit, and during the right enrollment period you may be able to switch to a plan that includes the fitness perks you want. Choosing a plan involves weighing premiums, coverage, doctor networks, and benefits—not just fitness. The licensed agents at 1-800-MEDIGAP (1-800-633-4427) provide free, no-obligation help comparing plans available in your ZIP code so you can find the right fit.
