CORAL GABLES, Fla. (January, 16, 2018)—Whether you’d like to improve your overall well-being or start a new wellness hobby, the Patti and Allan Herbert Wellness Center is here for you. To promote a lifestyle of health and wellness, SHAPE-UP rewards University of Miami employees for continued exercise.

Full-time and regular part-time UM faculty and staff, and their spouses/domestic partners who have UM health insurance, are eligible to earn a 20-percent rebate on the cost of a Herbert Wellness Center membership. SHAPE-UP is an opt-in program; members can verify their enrollment with a sales representative.

Once you’re enrolled, all you have to do is earn 10 SHAPE-UP points within a calendar month. You will gain one point by simply checking into the Herbert Wellness Center or UHealth Fitness & Wellness Center every time you work out. Once you have earned the required 10 points, the rebate will be deposited directly into your paycheck of the following month.

Any type of workout counts—whether it’s utilizing the weights or machines in the Fitness Room, going for a swim in the pool, playing basketball, practicing meditation and mindfulness, or attending a group exercise class like Studio Cycling, Yoga, Zumba, Kickboxing, or Pilates, you will earn a point.
