Gym memberships & personal training

Gym fees and personal training fees are only claimable when the exercise program is designed to address or improve a specific diagnosed health or medical condition – for example, diabetes. To claim, a health professional such as your GP, medical specialist or exercise physiologist must complete the Health Management Gym and PT Medical Form on your behalf. We will only pay benefits for Bupa recognised Gyms and Personal Training providers.

The process is easy just follow the below steps:

Step 1: Ensure your gym or personal trainer is a Bupa recognised provider. Please call us on 134 135 to check if your provider is recognised with Bupa.

Step 2: Download the Health Management Gym and PT Medical form here.

Step 3: Provide the Health Management Gym and PT Medical form to your health professional (eg GP, medical specialist or exercise physiologist). Both you and your health professional will need to complete and sign the form.

Step 4: Make payment for your gym or personal trainer and obtain a receipt. Please note that in order for your claim to be accepted, the date on the receipt must be after the date on the signed form by your health professional. Note that Bupa does not pay benefits for trial periods, joining fees, casual attendances or bundled passes at a Bupa recognised provider.

Step 5: Log into myBupa to submit your claim. You will need to attach your completed form and receipt. (Note: myBupa claiming for this service is via Desktop only at this stage).
