The Personal Health Investment Today Act of 2025 would allow Americans to use tax-advantaged health savings accounts to pay for fitness and exercise expenses, treating these costs like other qualified medical expenses. Under the bill, individuals could deduct up to $1,000 per year (or $2,000 for joint returns) for gym memberships, fitness classes, exercise equipment, instructional videos, and similar physical activity costs. The bill defines eligible expenses narrowly—for example, equipment must be used exclusively for fitness, and apparel only counts if it's necessary for a specific sport—and excludes membership fees at private clubs and facilities offering golf, hunting, or sailing. The changes would take effect for tax years beginning after the bill's enactment, and the legislation aims to incentivize healthier lifestyles and reduce healthcare costs associated with obesity and related diseases by making fitness more affordable for individuals and families.
