I knew you were. But just when you think it's funny you find out there are people like this guy. He even has a set of pushup bars in his chain bucket.

But insurance would not be billed unless the person actually joined a health club--right?

I suppose you are right. I know January is the busiest time where I go (YMCA). Those damn New Years resolutions to lose weight brings in the crowds---for about 2 weeks.

From the literature in my mailbox today.... "TeamCare improved wellness benefits for all members on Jan 1." "Wellness services such as routine physicals and testing, immunizations,..........are now covered 100 percent."

I highly doubt it'd be cheaper in the long run because most people don't know how to safely use gym equipment and would then also use their teamcare for medical attention to the injuries they sustained at the gym paid for by team care.
And for those who know what they're doing they probably wouldn't be injured anyways so UPS is simply paying their gym membership for an employee not really using teamcare anyways.
A healthy lifestyle relies a lot more about being intelligent over lifting weights or being active.
Obviously this does not apply to all situations, but most incidents are avoidable. Whether it's a back injury on the job due to carelessness or a back injury in the gym because of bad form, in the long term, the smart and patient will generally remain the healthiest, smart and patient will not be bred by UPS/TeamCare paying for gym memberships.

That's funny we have a guy that does the same thing. He does triathlons. He will alternate between 10 push-ups and 10 sit-ups after every stop. The guy is in amazing shape.

It wouldn't apply to most on here, but it is something to look forward to after you retire: some medicare supplemental plans offer free gym memberships as part of their coverage. There is life after teamcare!

They have services for that, too.
I skipped all the PC and inside crap. Went straight to the money.
I've got a couple pieces of equipment at home, but it's not practical using them on a feeder schedule when the fam is asleep most days.
Gyms count on that it's a big part of their business model.

Yep. We'd be charged about $100 a month if everyone went.

Working inside or in package keeps you active which is good but it's not a workout.
That time frame is the worst, I'd rather shoot myself. In package I always went at 5 am, in feeder now I can always hit the off times like 9-10 am or 1-2 pm when the place is nice and empty. Now if I can just figure out a way to get my insurance to pay for it...

Mornings are nice. A very small group of dedicated gym goers. Usually same small group every day.
The evenings are brutal. The trick is to do whatever everyone else isn't. Monday is always chest day. So do legs on Monday. Chances are the squat rack will be free. Cardio machine at that time though. Don't even think about it.
