(And that's just in the last year...)
Coming soon, you can exercise and get rewarded in more ways than ever before with Vitality's enhanced fitness benefits.

Just a few taps in the Discovery app - and you're ready to HIIT the gym:

Just in time for summer... Let's play padel
From 1 November 2023, you can play padel and get rewarded with the Discovery Vitality Padel benefit.
Vitality has partnered with Africa Padel to give members exclusive discounted access to the sport that's taken the world by storm.
Get exclusive access to court bookings at Africa Padel up to 4 weeks in advance. Plus, get a 20% discount on all Africa Padel bookings in the Playtomic app.
From 2024... Take your fitness to the VO2 max
From early next year, you can immediately earn up to 10,000 Vitality points depending on your cardio fitness.
Cardio fitness is an important way to understand your health. A high level of cardio fitness increases your likelihood of living a long life in good health.
The most reliable measure of cardio fitness is VO2 max. This is simply the amount (volume) of oxygen your body uses while exercising and is a common tool to understand your fitness. A higher VO2 max indicates a higher level of fitness and endurance.
From 2024, you'll earn up to 10,000 Vitality fitness points a year based on the VO2 max estimate on your Apple, Garmin or Samsung fitness device or from the results of a Vitality Fitness Assessment. These points will contribute to your maximum 30,000 Vitality fitness points a year.
Speaking of points... From 1 January 2024, we're expanding the ways in which members can earn Vitality fitness points, recognising short bursts of high-intensity workouts and longer endurance workouts at a light intensity.
Vitality fitness points you can earn in 2024:
