“I’m extremely proud that Planet Fitness has reached this exciting milestone of five million members, which we believe is more than any other national fitness chain in the industry,” said Chris Rondeau, Planet Fitness chief executive officer. “This is a testament to the affordable, high quality, and non-intimidating fitness experience that Planet Fitness provides its members that is truly unmatched by any other gym. We could not have reached this milestone without our members, franchise partners, and employees, so we are thrilled to launch this campaign to thank everyone for being a part of the Planet Fitness family and encourage new members to experience the brand.”

Planet Fitness prides itself on offering extremely affordable memberships at just $10 or $19.99 a month, and a unique Judgement Free Zone® unlike any other gym where members experience a hassle-free, non-intimidating environment. Each club also features the brand’s iconic “Lunk Alarm” – a purple and yellow siren on the wall used to gently remind people that grunting, dropping weights or judging others is not permitted.

Planet Fitness memberships include a variety of benefits, including unlimited small group fitness instruction by a certified trainer. In addition, as a member appreciation gesture, Planet Fitness provides free pizza on the first Monday of every month, and free bagels on the second Tuesday of every month.

Planet Fitness also offers the PF Black Card® membership. For $19.99 a month, this premium membership includes access to all 750+ clubs in the Planet Fitness chain, the ability to bring a guest every day at no additional charge, as well as the use of massage chairs, HydroMassage beds, Total Body enhancement booths, tanning, 50 percent off all cooler drinks, and more. Black Card benefits vary by location.
