How Hilton Grand Vacations Supports My Well-Being And Helped Me Get Fit

The benefits of exercise on our physical, mental and emotional health should come as no surprise. However, two-thirds of Americans don’t regularly exercise 150 minutes a week, the time the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend. The barriers to consistent exercise can include time, money and access to gym equipment and instruction.

Hilton Grand Vacations commits to supporting Team Members’ well-being by offering a comprehensive benefits program, including a versatile employee assistance program , day one health insurance, parental leave , travel benefits and generous paid time off. These benefits — plus a cooperative work culture — allow Team Members to achieve work-life balance and prioritize their well-being.

Another one of the benefits of working at Hilton Grand Vacations is access to a national network of fitness centers through the Active&Fit Direct program. This program encourages Team Members to take time to exercise through discounted rates and the flexibility to find a membership that works for them.

Kennerley R., a marketing content specialist, is one Team Member who uses Active&Fit Direct to improve her health in a way that makes sense for her. “I know the importance of exercise, but I’ve always struggled to work out consistently at traditional gyms,” she said. “I liked the accountability and structure of a class but not the price tag.”

“On a whim, I joined a boxing fitness class and fell in love. The basic membership [four classes a month] was worth the small class size, high-energy instructors and sweat-inducing workout. Not only did my strength and stamina improve, but so did my confidence and overall health.”

“I had heard that Hilton Grand Vacations offered an exercise benefit, but I thought it was just a discount on traditional gyms,” she said.

Active&Fit Direct has two membership options. One is a flat monthly rate for standard fitness centers. Team Members can change gyms at any time, meaning you’re not locked into a contract with hidden fees. The other offers discounted memberships to premium fitness centers, such as boxing gyms and yoga studios.

“Thanks to this benefit, I upgraded my boxing membership from four classes a month to eight — and paid less than I was before,” Kennerley emphasized. “Plus, if my spouse ever wants to join a gym or fitness class, he also qualifies for a discounted membership.”

In addition to discounts, Active&Fit Direct also offers on-demand fitness videos and one-on-one coaching sessions for Team Members who prefer to work out at home.
