What is SilverSneakers, and how much does it cost?
SilverSneakers is a popular fitness program that provides gym access to seniors. It is free to Medicare beneficiaries.
Who is eligible?
Some Medicare Advantage plans offer a SilverSneakers membership to eligible seniors. You can also use our facility even if you don’t have a membership. Just give us a call and ask about our Maintenance Program, which costs $35 per month and does not require a contract.
What’s available at ACCESS PT Honesdale’s SilverSneakers program?
We have a complete strength training circuit, treadmills, Nustep, weights, and universal training equipment.
Is there an added benefit to using my SilverSneakers benefit at a physical therapy clinic rather than a traditional gym? Will I receive support from your staff?
Yes! You will receive some support from our staff. It is beneficial to have a therapist on site to answer medical questions. We can help ensure that you are using proper form to prevent injury. Our therapists may even identify minor problems and get you set up for an evaluation before they have a chance to become major issues.
SilverSneakers is currently offered at ACCESS PT’s Honesdale, PA location. Call now for more information!
