Can You Write Off Gym At Work?
Short answer: Yes for you: an on-site gym your employer runs is a tax-free benefit.
A gym membership your employer pays elsewhere is taxable wages.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
