But, why don't all companies cover part (or all) of their employees' gym memberships? Think of the long-term cost-savings on the company's health insurance premiums, increase in workplace morale, decrease in worker sick days...and those are just a few off the top of my head.

First of all, it's for women and it's all about pampering the woman. The gym I go to is called Total Woman Gym and Day Spa. I think there are many here in the California area and perhaps in other states. Not only do you get a great workout, you can also take great classes where the women there are having fun, not competing and trying to attract a man or anyone else for that matter, and there's a spa, a jacuzzi, and an area where you can get facials, get waxed and get lovely massages. They have special types of memberships, such as a spa membership which includes the gym membership and half off the spa membership and then there's the regular membership and student memberships. They are a bit pricey but I think given how it's generated towards women, it's a great place to work out, find and make friends and relax at the same time. Oh, and they do give out discounts to special people, have raffle prizes and sell boutique items, and they have a pilates studio, which does cost extra to use with a personal trainer. But they have pilates classes for those who don't want to pay extra for one on one with a personal trainer. I enjoy my fitness club.
