Who this is for
Already have Step Up? You already have P.E. covered.
If your child has a Florida Step Up for Students scholarship, physical education is an approved use of those funds — including gym and fitness memberships and class passes for the student only, and sports lessons and fees.
That applies if you are on:
✓ PEP — Personalized Education Program for homeschool students
✓ FES-EO & FTC — Family Empowerment / Florida Tax Credit scholarships
✓ FES-UA — Family Empowerment Scholarship for students with unique abilities

Scholarship amounts
What your scholarship is worth in Hillsborough County
For 2026–27, a Step Up scholarship in Hillsborough County is worth thousands per student, per year. P.E. at Automatic Fitness uses only a small part of it — and leaves the rest for your other approved expenses.
| Grade level | Hillsborough County 2026–27 | What that means here |
|---|---|---|
| Kindergarten – Grade 3 | $8,429 per student | Covers a full school year of Homeschool P.E. many times over |
| Grades 4 – 8 | $7,837 per student | Covers Homeschool P.E. or Youth Strength for the year |
| Grades 9 – 12 | $7,644 per student | Covers Youth Strength & Conditioning for the year |
Amounts shown are the published Hillsborough County amounts for 2026–27 in the Automatic Fitness Step Up plan. Your student’s exact amount is confirmed in EMA (the Education Market Assistant) when you reserve funds.

How to use your funds
Use your Step Up funds here in 3 steps
There are two ways to pay — direct pay through EMA, or pay and submit for reimbursement. Either way, we do the paperwork with you, not after you.
Book your free trial week
Pick Homeschool P.E. or Youth Strength & Conditioning and come in for a free trial week. No payment, no scholarship funds reserved yet. Meet the coach, see the class, make sure it fits your student.
Choose how you will pay
Option A — Direct Pay in EMA (easiest): Find Automatic Fitness in EMA, reserve the funds for your chosen program, and Step Up pays us directly after the service is delivered.
Option B — Reimbursement: Pay us directly, and we hand you a Step Up-ready receipt packet the same day (see Section 6) to submit for reimbursement.
Train — we handle the records
Your student trains on schedule. We log every attendance, track P.E. hours, and invoice or receipt exactly as Step Up requires — by student name and date — so there are no surprises at audit or renewal time.
Documentation
Every family gets a Step Up-ready packet
Most reimbursement problems come from a receipt that is missing a name, a date, or the right description. Ours is built to be approved the first time. Your packet includes:
✓ Itemized receipt with your student’s full legal name
✓ Service listed exactly as: “Physical Education — Gym / Fitness Membership” (or Class Pass, as purchased)
✓ Exact service date range and the rate charged
✓ PAID IN FULL proof of payment
✓ Attendance log for the period, plus a P.E. hours certificate for your Student Learning Plan / homeschool records
Keep the packet with your scholarship records. If Step Up ever asks for supporting documents, you already have them.
FAQ
Questions parents ask us first
Can I use Step Up for a family or parent membership? +
No — Step Up funds cover the named student only. That is a Step Up rule, not ours. Parents and siblings can join on a regular Automatic Fitness membership, and we are happy to set that up at the same visit.
Can I pay ahead for a whole semester? +
Yes. The Semester Class Pass ($396 for 4 months, $749 for the school year) is designed for exactly that — including using a leftover scholarship balance before it sits idle.
When do you invoice Step Up? +
For Direct Pay, we invoice in EMA after the service is delivered, as Step Up requires. We never reserve or invoice funds for classes that have not happened.
What if my child has unique abilities (FES-UA)? +
You are welcome here. Tell us about your student’s needs when you book the trial week so we can place them in the right class and with the right coach from day one.
What do I need to bring to get started? +
Just your student and their scholarship information so we can confirm eligibility in EMA. We will walk you through reserving funds or the reimbursement packet in person — you do not need to figure out EMA alone.
Give your student a P.E. program they will actually look forward to.
Book a free trial week this week. We will check your Step Up eligibility, place your student in the right class, and handle the paperwork with you.
