Spring running is in the air

Is it possible that we have finally turned the winter corner and spring is coming our way? In the south east, we've had a couple of blue sky days and more are forecast. Not wanting to curse it in anyway or start counting chickens etc, we are certainly feeling quite chirpy in the iMember office. So we thought we'd have a look at a nice healthy outdoor activity and see what member benefits there are on the iMember website www.iMember.co.uk associated with running. 

Sweatshop stands out to us! In order to get as many people enjoying the thing they are passionate about - running - Sweatshop offers some outstanding member benefits through many clubs and organisations. We've listed some below, but there are so many more - find them on the iMember website.

If you're a member of Reynolds Fitness Spa, you can get 10% discount at Sweatshop, Newnham Court, Maidstone; as a member of Young Scot you will get the same discount in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee; follow MarathonTALK and they've negotiated a 10% discount as have Gravesham Community Leisure from Sweatshop Bluewater.

England Athletics have negotiated various offers with Sweatshop for runners and running clubs registered with them - check out the England Athletics website.

So this is one outlet, offering discounts and rewards through various membership organisations. But there are hundreds and hundreds of other organisations offering hundreds and hundreds of other membership benefits - far too many to remember. But that's where iMember comes in - register your membership organisations on our website at www.iMember.co.uk and you will be reminded of ALL your benefits and entitlements. Download the free mobile app and you will get alerts to your phone whenever you are within a certain radius of one of your benefits.

Enjoy the spring - enjoy your running - enjoy your member benefits!

Life insurance benefits - and we don't just mean the obvious one!

According to the Money Advice Service, two out of three people in the UK have life insurance cover. That's a pretty massive industry and you want to be sure you are getting all you can out of the company that you choose to take your insurance out with. iMember  wants to draw your attention to the additional benefits available (on top of the level of insurance cover that you have chosen) which may help influence your choice of company.

Take PruHealth  for example - now here are some very exciting member benefits. Depending on which level of cover you choose, you could get 50% off gym membership at Virgin Active or LA Fitness; 50% off a pair of running shoes at Sweatshop; 50% rebate on a bike at Evans Cycle; 50% discount off Polar products; 75% discount on Champneys' Classic Breaks and Spa Days and then there are discounts on travel and hotel breaks; great cinema discounts.....the member benefits on offer seem limitless!


So why do we not take advantage of these member benefits? The answer is simple - it's because it's so hard to remember we have them and are entitled to them. Register (for free) at www.iMember.co.uk, list the organisations to which you belong and you will be reminded of all your member benefits either by handy thumbnail icons on screen or if you download the free mobile app you will receive an alert whenever you are within a certain radius of one of your benefits.

Enjoy the peace of mind that having life insurance brings but ALSO enjoy all the additional member benefits that come with your policy.

The Full Monty

The Full Monty has opened in London's West End - "Masculinity in crisis has rarely been this much fun" says Dominic Maxwell in today's Times.

Love this....

Browsing through today's news looking for inspiration for today's blog - iMember came across a wonderful story in the Times.

A team from Ella's Kitchen   have constructed a 6ft tall edible forest made from fruit and vegetables to encourage children to eat healthily. The forest is at the Horniman Museum and Gardens in Forest Hill South London.

Whilst walking the paths children will come across signs saying "munch me", "crunch me" or "sniff me" and they will be offered a bite of leek palm tree or a carrot hedgehog.

It sounds like a brilliant day out and iMember will be on the look-out for membership organisations offering discounted entry to the Horniman Museum and Gardens and adding them to our data base! Make sure you are registered with iMember so you don't miss out.
