Gym Discount Partnerships
North Clackamas School District's Gym Discount Partnership is available for employees and their eligible dependents. The gyms below volunteer to offer a discount. North Clackamas School District does not pay any costs; employees and families must pay all membership fees. To join, contact the gym directly. Inform the gym you are a participating North Clackamas employee, and ask about their current discount.
We encourage you to visit the gyms in which you might be interested and ask for a tour. Gyms offer many types of programs. Some have pools; some have child care. Some are local, some have national service. Compare the blend of equipment, coaching, classes, hours, cost, location, parking, and “feel” of the gyms that appeal to you.

Gym Discount Partnership frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What is the Gym Discount Partnership?
The Gym Discount Program is designed to support employees and their eligible dependents in building and maintaining healthy habits through regular physical activity. The “discount” varies by gym, with some offering a discounted initiation fee and others offering a price reduction on the monthly membership.
How do I get my discount?
It is important to ask about the discount at the time you are considering signing up. Gyms regularly change their discount programs depending on a variety of factors.
How were the gyms chosen to be in the Gym Discount Partnership ?
Gyms participating in the discount program were selected because they offer a variety of education and instruction on physical activities with or without equipment. Additionally, they offer a discount to employees, retirees and their eligible dependents. These discounts are good for a year except when otherwise indicated.
Can my family also receive discounts?
Yes, most participating gyms extend the discount to partners and eligible dependents.
Why is my gym not listed with participating gyms?
Participation by gyms is voluntary. Your gym might have chosen not to participate, or you may attend a gym that hasn’t heard of the program. If your gym would like to offer employees discounts, they should contact employeee_wellness@nclack.k12.or.us or call 503-353-6043.

- Proof of employment (pay stub) and
- Proof of same residence (driver's license or other photo ID with address)
