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:
- Your employer partners with Wellhub and agrees to subsidize a portion (or all) of the subscription cost for employees
- You choose a plan tier that fits your needs -- from digital-only wellness apps to full gym access at premium facilities
- One subscription gives you access to a network of over 50,000 partner gyms, studios, and wellness providers across the United States
- Bionic Barbell is a Wellhub partner gym in Las Cruces, available on the Starter and Basic tiers
- You check in using the Wellhub app -- no separate gym contract, no long-term commitment, no cancellation headaches
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 access to a larger network of gyms and wellness services. The prices listed below are the standard employee rates -- your actual cost may be lower if your employer subsidizes part of the fee.
| Plan | Monthly Cost | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| Digital Only | $0/mo | Wellness apps only (meditation, nutrition, sleep tracking) |
| Starter | $26.99/mo | Access to starter-tier gyms including Bionic Barbell |
| Basic | $37.99/mo | Access to basic-tier gyms including Bionic Barbell |
| Silver | $59.99/mo | Expanded gym network + premium studios |
| Gold | $99.99/mo | Wide network including premium facilities |
| Platinum | $159.99/mo | Nearly all partner locations |
| Diamond | $344.99/mo | Full network access + premium wellness services |
Key takeaway: Bionic Barbell is available on both the Starter ($26.99/mo) and Basic ($37.99/mo) tiers -- making it one of the most affordable options for full-service gym access through Wellhub. And remember: your employer may subsidize part or all of this cost. 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
