    Maintaining physical fitness can help military and veteran families deal with unique stressors that come with the military lifestyle. Staying fit and healthy isn’t easy, and it’s not always cheap. But, special military discounts and programs can help you save money while focusing on your health and well-being.

    Here are some of the best fitness, health and nutrition military discount programs.

    Military Discounts on Gym Memberships

    Military gyms are free, but you may want to shop around for a commercial gym membership if you don’t live near a base or need more fitness options. Several major fitness chains offer substantial military discounts on gym memberships.

    • You’re a dependent of a military member who is on an unaccompanied tour or who is deployed
    • You’re assigned to a community-based warrior transition unit where there is no nearby military fitness facility
