SilverSneakers is a leading community fitness program for older adults in the US. Between January 2022 and December 2024, SilverSneakers members in certain participating health plans were entitled to complimentary Stitch memberships under a program called SilverSneakers Connect.
SilverSneakers has informed Stitch that it will be ceasing support for SilverSneakers Connect on the 31st of December, 2024.
If you are a SilverSneakers member who previously was entitled to a Full Stitch membership under the SilverSneakers Connect program, your Stitch account will revert to a Limited membership of Stitch from the 1st of January 2025.
The first time you access Stitch after the 1st of January 2025, the system will prompt you to set up a password for your account. This will mean you no longer need to log in via your SilverSneakers portal, and will log in to Stitch like all other members of the community using your email address and password. It will also mean you will be able to access Stitch outside the US if you are traveling abroad.
After the 1st of January 2025, if you wish to remain a Full member of the community, you will need to pay for your membership yourself.
To help make it easier for you to stay part of the community, we have created a discount coupon you can use for 25% off your next Stitch membership. To use this discount, enter the following discount code when you upgrade your membership:

If you think you will have trouble affording a Full membership, please speak to us about ways you can volunteer to get involved in the community to receive more assistance with your membership.
We are as disappointed by this change as you are. Social connections play a vital role in improving well-being and health, and we strongly believe all health plans should be providing membership of Stitch to their members. Unfortunately the decision is out of our control.
Please don't hesitate to contact your health plan and encourage them to include Stitch in their coverage.
We apologize for any inconvenience you experience from this change. We wish we could change it for you! But please know we remain as committed as ever to improving the lives of our members, and hope that you will stay a cherished member of the community, even after SilverSneakers closes the SilverSneakers Connect program.
