That Time Of Year
“I wouldn’t say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one.”
– Brian Clough

With Open Enrollment coming up for many of you choosing new healthcare plans, I want to remind you of ways you can save money on your CFPA membership.
You could save more than 30% on your membership fees by getting reimbursed from your Healthcare Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account.
Truemed is a company that has partnered with CrossFit HQ to help members use their HSA/FSA money to pay for CrossFit memberships.
What is the process?
Use the following link to take a four-minute health survey. Pay $30.
(CFPA gets $0 for this.)
https://app.truemed.com/crossfit/qualify/tm_qual_akhytzr98r
If exercise can help prevent or reverse a health condition they identified, you’ll be pre-approved for HSA/FSA reimbursement. A Truemed medical provider will review the information remotely and email you a Letter of Medical Necessity (document affirming eligibility). You are then compliant to reimburse your expenses to yourself – just as you would any other health expense.
CFPA is not involved in the process. Membership fees are paid with the normal method. This allows you to be reimbursed with pretax money, which is where the savings comes from. Your HSA/FSA credit cards cannot be processed through ZenPlanner. It’s been tried.
What if I have questions or need support?
Email them at [email protected]
If you’d like to hear more about Truemed and the principles of the founder, you can hear directly from him on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast #2210.
NOTE: We know that many of you also receive reimbursement from your employer for gym fees. Please reach out to us if you need help getting those receipts.

“Everyone’s entitled to my opinion.”

Set in 1960’s and 1970’s England, The Damned United tells the confrontational and darkly humorous story of Brian Clough’s doomed 44 day tenure as manager of the reigning champions of English football, Leeds United.
Previously managed by his bitter rival Don Revie, and on the back of their most successful period ever as a football club, Leeds was perceived by many to represent a new aggressive and cynical style of football – an anathema to the principled yet flamboyant Brian Clough, who had achieved astonishing success as manager of Hartlepool and Derby County; building teams in his own vision with trusty lieutenant Peter Taylor. Taking the Leeds job without Taylor by his side, with a changing room full of what in his mind were still Don’s boys, would lead to an unheralded examination of Clough’s belligerence and brilliance over 44 days.
This is that story. The story of The Damned United.
Tim’s Takeaway: I enjoy British films from the 2000’s. This one is based on a true story and was referred by a member of the gym. We have a lot of soccer fans in the gym and I thought some of you may enjoy a movie showing the conditions that were played in during the 60’s and 70’s. I watched it on AmazonPrime, but it’s available lots of places.
Tell me what you like. Music? Books? Movies? Series?
Thank you for your support.
I look forward to what we will do together.
