LSA for Family-Oriented Physical Activity Programs: Move Together, Thrive Together
A Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA) for Family-Oriented Physical Activity Programs supports holistic family wellbeing through movement, fun, and togetherness. Whether it’s a weekend hike, a parent-child dance class, or a family yoga session, these shared fitness experiences improve both physical health and family connection. By encouraging families to stay active together, this benefit builds lifelong habits of wellness and strengthens emotional bonds across generations.
What is an LSA for Family-Oriented Physical Activity Programs?
This LSA category allows employees to use employer-provided funds for family-based physical wellness activities. Eligible expenses may include group fitness class passes, recreational league registrations, virtual fitness subscriptions, and even family gym memberships. These programs focus on shared movement that’s inclusive, age-friendly, and fun, making wellness a family affair rather than an individual goal.
Why Choose an LSA for Family-Oriented Physical Activity Programs?
Support Preventive Health Across Generations
Family fitness promotes cardiovascular health, mobility, and weight management for adults and children alike, reducing long-term healthcare costs.
Build Habits Through Shared Motivation
When families engage in wellness together, they are more likely to stick with healthy routines. Children model active lifestyles from adults, creating a lasting impact.
Strengthen Family Connection
Physical activities offer moments of play, teamwork, and communication. Whether through a game of basketball or a group walk, these shared experiences nurture emotional bonds.
How Does an LSA for Family-Oriented Physical Activity Programs Work?
Employers allocate a portion of LSA funds that employees can use to participate in approved family-focused fitness and movement activities. Examples include:

- Family gym memberships or swim passes
- Entry fees for family-friendly races or walkathons
- Virtual workout apps with family plans (e.g., Peloton Family, Apple Fitness+)
