Brits find a cheap alternative for Gym Membership

Many canny UK residents that visit the gym have discovered a great way of saving money and getting top health insurance at the same time, signing up to a scheme such as Pru Health which has now seen over 150,000 people from the UK take advantage of their healthy lifestyle insurance option.

David Baddeley, 36, from Cambridge, signed up to the Pru Health scheme with his wife Vicky, 35, and his premiums fell from £1,980 to less than £400 after he started a fitness regime.

"It's absolutely changed my lifestyle," he said.

"I don't think people will live a healthy lifestyle just because they are that's worth a bit of effort and a bit of intrusion. I do get texts at night reminding me I need to go for a walk - some people would see that as an intrusion although I think it's helpful.

 

Gyms that are available as part of insurance offer

Virgin Active Health Clubs, LA Fitness and Cannons Health And Fitness are just 3 of the health clubs participating in Pru Healths insurance offer.
