Wellhub Gym Benefit in Las Cruces: How to Use Your Employer Perk at Bionic Barbell

March 9, 2026 Bionic Barbell 10 min read

Many people don't realize their employer already pays for a gym membership through Wellhub (formerly Gympass). If your company offers Wellhub as part of its benefits package, you could be working out at Bionic Barbell in Las Cruces for as little as $0 per month out of pocket. Yet thousands of eligible employees never activate this perk, either because they don't know it exists, or they assume it's too complicated to use.

It's not. And this guide covers everything you need to know: what Wellhub is, how the pricing works, how to check if your employer participates, and exactly how to start using your benefit at Bionic Barbell.

What Is Wellhub?

Wellhub is a corporate wellness platform that connects employees to gyms, fitness studios, wellness apps, and health services, all through a single subscription that your employer subsidizes. If that name doesn't ring a bell, you might know it by its former name: Gympass. The company rebranded to Wellhub in 2024 to reflect its expansion beyond just gym access into holistic wellness.

Here's how it works in practice:

The key difference between Wellhub and traditional gym memberships: your employer is footing part of the bill. Depending on your company's agreement with Wellhub, you might pay the full listed tier price, a reduced rate, or nothing at all.

How Wellhub Pricing Works

Wellhub uses a tiered plan structure: each tier unlocks a larger network of gyms and wellness services. Plan names, prices and lineups are set by your employer's Wellhub contract and change over time, so the number you pay is the one shown in your Wellhub app. What does not change is where Bionic Barbell sits in that ladder:

Wellhub plan Includes Bionic Barbell?
Digital No — wellness apps only, no gym access
Starter No
Starter+ and above Yes — full access to Bionic Barbell

Key takeaway: you need Starter+ or above to use Bionic Barbell — Digital and Starter will not get you in the door. Check your plan in the Wellhub app before your first visit. And remember: your employer may subsidize part or all of the cost, and some employees pay $0 out of pocket.

How to Check If Your Employer Offers Wellhub

Wellhub is an employer-sponsored benefit, which means you can't just sign up on your own, your company has to participate. Here's how to find out if yours does:

  1. Ask your HR department or benefits coordinator. This is the fastest route. A simple email or Slack message asking "Do we offer Wellhub as an employee benefit?" will get you a definitive answer.
  2. Check your employee benefits portal. Many companies list Wellhub under "Wellness," "Perks," "Fitness," or "Lifestyle Benefits." If you have access to a benefits dashboard (through Workday, ADP, BambooHR, etc.), search there first.
  3. Visit wellhub.com and try signing up with your work email. Go to the Wellhub website and attempt to create an account using your company email address. The system will automatically tell you whether your employer is a Wellhub partner.
  4. Look through your benefits enrollment materials. If you recently went through open enrollment or onboarding, check those documents. Wellhub is often buried in the "voluntary benefits" or "wellness perks" section that people skim past.
  5. Suggest it to HR if your company doesn't offer it yet. Wellhub has a self-service employer enrollment process. If enough employees express interest, many companies will add it, especially since Wellhub positions itself as a retention and productivity tool for employers.
