MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- GetInsured, a leader in health insurance enrollment technology, announced today that it will partner with the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), a world-renowned personal training organization, to bring its award-winning health insurance shopping and enrollment platform to NASM's network of more than 65K actively certified fitness professionals.

NASM, which acquired The Athletics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA) in 2015, has collectively prepared more than 500,000 personal trainers and group fitness instructors worldwide. Many of whom go on to work for themselves or provide contracted services. As self-employed individuals, it is incumbent on these trainers to acquire their own health insurance. GetInsured has, since 2005, led the market providing consumers with tools that make an otherwise confusing process, simple and effective.

The partnership with GetInsured allows NASM/AFAA to provide access to affordable healthcare options to their community of fitness professionals.

"Having great health insurance provides security and peace of mind, so we're thrilled to partner with GetInsured. They make it easy, affordable, and accessible for our trainers," said Laurie McCartney, President, NASM.

GetInsured has enabled more than seven million plan enrollments since the launch of the Affordable Care Act.

"Our mission has always been to make access to affordable health insurance simple and straightforward," said Sephy Hambaz, VP, Consumer Operations, GetInsured. "Many self-employed individuals find the task of shopping for health insurance daunting. Our decision support tools help shoppers find plans that work best for their personal situation, identifying a plan's overall expected cost instead of just shopping by monthly premium."
