Can I use my HSA or FSA for personal training?
Often, yes. If training is part of treating or preventing a specific medical condition, it may qualify with a letter of medical necessity. Here is how it works at Repke Fitness.

It depends on why you train.
Health savings accounts (HSAs) and flexible spending accounts (FSAs) can be used for qualified medical expenses. Exercise for general health usually does not qualify on its own. But when personal training is recommended to treat or manage a specific medical condition, such as obesity, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, chronic back pain, or recovery after surgery, it often can, as long as you have a letter of medical necessity from a licensed provider.
Three simple steps.
1. Fill out the questionnaire
We send you a link to a short online health questionnaire from our medical partner. It takes a few minutes.
2. Get your letter, if eligible
A licensed provider reviews your answers. If personal training is appropriate for your condition, they issue a letter of medical necessity.
3. Pay with your HSA or FSA card
Use your card for your training plan, and keep your letter and receipts in case your plan administrator asks for them.
A few details.
- Your plan has the final say. Every HSA and FSA administrator applies the rules a little differently. Eligibility depends on your health and your plan.
- Keep your paperwork. Save your letter of medical necessity and receipts in case you are asked to show them.
- The letter is usually valid for a set period, often about a year, so check the dates if you train long term.
- Not insurance. We are not in-network with insurance carriers. HSA and FSA cards work like a debit card for your plan.
- This is not tax advice. For questions about your specific situation, talk with your plan administrator or a tax professional.
Many of the people who use HSA or FSA dollars with us train in our post-rehab, senior fitness and fall prevention, Parkinson’s, and menopause and bone health programs. Prices for every plan are on our rates page, and we break down what personal training costs in Anne Arundel County.
HSA and FSA questions.
Can I use my HSA or FSA for personal training?
Often, yes, when training is recommended to treat or manage a specific medical condition and you have a letter of medical necessity from a licensed provider. Exercise for general health alone usually does not qualify.
What is a letter of medical necessity?
A letter from a licensed healthcare provider stating that a service, like personal training, is needed to treat or manage a specific medical condition. HSA and FSA administrators use it to confirm eligibility.
Can Repke Fitness help me get a letter?
Yes. We work with a medical partner. You fill out a short online health questionnaire, and if training is a fit for your health needs, a licensed provider can issue the letter. Ask us for the link.
Do you take insurance?
No. We are not in-network with insurance carriers, but we accept HSA and FSA cards along with credit cards, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, ACH, and checks.
Which conditions usually qualify?
Common examples include obesity, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, chronic pain, and recovery after surgery or injury. Your provider and plan make the final decision.
