nonky Posted January 17, 2017 Share Team Vitality was ZAR600 this year - is that right? Also, no race cashbacks due to a "technical problem", despite me repeatedly querying my lack of cashbacks. They also refused to pay my chronic meds in Dec, which i collected 2 weeks' early due HOLIDAYS, for pete's sake. Their admin is really starting to get completely bunged up...

Doubt this includes CSA affiliation?Running club is R300 pa. Which excludes your ASA license, which is an additional R100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigghead Posted January 17, 2017 Share Cycling Team Vitality or the Running Team Vitality - or both? If you've joined the running, then you're sorted - only have to activate it from the phone app. No additional cost. Buy shoes, get up to 25% back initially and then the remaining 75% (max R2000) paid back over 12 months. If you've only joined the cycling, then you have to pay R300 to activate it (and get a running membership with it).OK I'm good then Frosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted January 17, 2017 Share Regarding the fitness assessments: I asked the Vitality helpline to point me to the providers that are registered with them to do the High Performance Fitness Assessment. They told me that they don't know, I need to phone the Bio's directly and ask them. What's the point of "registering" on the system if the system can't even give the list of registered people. Anyway, so mailed a bunch of Biokineticists and got some feedback. Basically Vitality informed all the Bio's on their system that all fitness assessments will henceforth be done on Wattbikes and that they need to complete a training course on the new assessment before they can do it themselves. So if you are planning to do a fitness assessment, be it the normal one or the High Performance, your best bet is to contact someone doing it at a Virgin Active where you know they have the Wattbikes.Even more reason to do the High Performance Test instead of the normal assessment: "* The points you earn from your Vitality Fitness Assessment contribute towards your yearly cap of 30 000 fitness points. The bonus points you earn from your Vitality High Performance Fitness Assessment don’t contribute towards your yearly cap of 30 000 fitness points." I am booked for my High Performance Assessment on Friday morning, will give some feedback on the experience. 'Kaze Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christofison Posted January 17, 2017 Share Has anyone activated the Shoe Booster benefit yet?I did my fitness assessment on 4th January. They told me to wait 7 days for points to register. After 7 days I called to ask why my points haven't been allocated, they told me to email my query through. Emailed my query through, it took 3 days for a response telling me to send them my results. Now I'm waiting another 3 days for them to look at my results. Anyway, two weeks later and I am still holding off the shoe booster until the fitness test is resolved.

Vetplant Posted January 17, 2017 Share I am booked for my High Performance Assessment on Friday morning, will give some feedback on the experience.Cancel that, Bio just called to inform me that Discovery doesn't allow any private Bio's to do the High Performance Assessment currently. Only the High Performace Centre at University of Pretoria can do it. Funny thing is, I have a friend that is a Bio at HPC and he says they have not received their go-ahead yet from Discovery, so they haven't done an assessment yet. Back to square-one. Will probably do a normal assessment to be able to buy my shoes on the Shoe Booster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted January 18, 2017 Share Ping Myles My wife is at 36 weeks with our second son, she is now freaking out because he is not covered in our life insurance if I get hit by a car while chasing KOM's up Constania Nek. They say as there is no birth certificate we cannot increase life insurance etc on un born child. I am now a pro at dealing with pregnant ladies, so decided to come to the smartest discovery person I know, rather than trying to engage. Any suggestions? She is worried about the kids education, not so much the other expenses. Edited January 18, 2017 by Pure Savage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can increase your life cover & disability cover whenever the hell you want to. Oh and let's chat about the stuff before the bold as well. If you have life cover, you're covered if you die. Period. Unless you were robbing someone or something. But I know you'll want to discuss it anyway...

Runbikeswim Posted January 22, 2017 Share Those with a apple watch... how do you use strava and send points to discovery at the same time? Open a run or cycle and open strava? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
