LA Fitness runs its own dedicated SilverSneakers class-locator page — chain-level SilverSneakers acceptance is medium-high confidence. Renew Active and Silver&Fit are only claimed by third-party SEO/aggregator sites, not by LA Fitness itself or an official program source, so we're not listing those as chain-confirmed. LA Fitness absorbed the XSport Fitness and Esporta Fitness chains in 2024–2025 (see note above) — some addresses below were formerly those brands.

CFX's own insurance-memberships page states it accepts SilverSneakers, Prime, Renew Active, Silver&Fit (via American Specialty Health), Active&Fit, and Gympass — the clearest all-three-programs chain source found. The page blocked a direct automated fetch, so this is drawn from the page's own indexed content rather than a firsthand read — medium-high confidence.

This chain generally accepts SilverSneakers, Renew Active, Silver&Fit — confirm your specific plan and location before you go.

VASA Fitness names both SilverSneakers (Tivity Health) and Silver&Fit (American Specialty Health, listed as "Silver&Fit"/"Active&Fit") on its own corporate insurance page — the page is chain-wide and doesn't break out participation by location, and Renew Active isn't mentioned, so call ahead to confirm your specific club.
