My name's Julie Miller I'm 28 and I live in London. I wanted to stay in shape, but wasn't sure I could afford to join a gym. And getting motivated to go for a run or bike ride can be hard.
Then a friend told me about PruHealth's offer of subsidised gym membership, just for going along regularly.
I found - if I took out PruHealth insurance and went twice a week to the gym, after paying a £25 activation fee and £40 a month for the first three months - I could go to Mayfair Virgin Active Club for just £15 a month.
That sounded great - but I wasn't sure how much health insurance would be - so I got a free online quote - it only took a few seconds.
Based on PruHealth's Essential plan, with no excess, use of their London hospital network, and because I am in good health I got a first year discount of 30% and pay just £39.51 a month for the first 12 months.
So for health insurance (£39.51) and after the first three months and for going to the gym on average twice a week or more (£15) - I pay a total of just £54.41 a month - and you don’t find me with my feet up any more.

I'm Christian Taylor I'm 34, and I live and work in Birmingham. I was looking into getting health insurance, but hadn't thought about joining a gym as I thought they were too expensive.
Then I read about PruHealth's whypayforthegym offer in the paper.
So I went to the website and found: If I took out PruHealth insurance I could join LA Fitness in Birmingham and after paying a £25 activation fee, £25 a month for the first three months and attending the gym on average twice a week or more, I could end up paying absolutely nothing for my gym membership each month.
Then I got an instant quote on the health insurance I wanted in the first place. I chose a mid-range (Essential) plan, with a £0 excess and use of the national hospital network.
Due to my reasonable health, apart from a high blood pressure and cholesterol, I got a 20% discount on my first year's premiums, bringing the total to just £44.87 a month for the first 12 months.
After the first three month period, and attending the gym on average twice a week I end up paying £44.87 for both the health insurance and gym membership.
So I joined up right away - and since I've been going to the gym I've also seen my general health improving.

We're Carol and Mark Jones. We've been married three years, are both 36, and live on the edge of Leeds. We've been gym members for a while, but decided we wanted health insurance too.
We were busy comparing providers when we noticed PruHealth's award winning health insurance - and the subsidised gym membership that comes with it.
On the whypayforthegym.com website we found that by joining PruHealth and after each paying an activation fee of £25, £25 each for the first three months and attending the gym on average twice a week or more we could both end up paying completely nothing for membership to Cannons in Guisely.
We also got an online health insurance quote - We chose the top level comprehensive plan, with a £250 excess, and access to the national hospital network.
Based on our good health we got a 30% first year discount, so this policy cost us just £93.64 a month for the first year.
So now, after the initial three month period, and for attending the gym on average twice a week, we end up paying - £46.82 each per month for health insurance and gym membership.
