## Summary

**This bill would reclassify certain sports and fitness spending as medical care for federal tax purposes.** It aims to encourage healthier lifestyles by giving people a tax-based incentive to exercise and making it easier to pay for fitness activities. - Families and individual taxpayers could count qualified sports and fitness expenses as medical care for tax purposes, subject to an annual limit of $1,000 per taxpayer and $2,000 for joint returns or heads of household. - Fitness centers would have to meet specific eligibility rules to qualify, including being a non-private-club, offering active instruction or program sites, excluding golf, hunting, sailing, or riding facilities, and complying with anti-discrimination laws. - Purchases and programs would face detailed rules: exercise videos and books are judged by instructional content, equipment and apparel face caps and conditions, and travel or lodging tied to mixed programs is treated as a separate component.
