How Do I Join Planet Fitness?

Planet Fitness is an American fitness company, both an operator and franchisor, serving members with access to quality gym services via clubs or centers in over 2000 locations. The gym is suitable for those seeking to remain active and maintain good overall physical and mental health in a clean and judgment-free workout environment. Its clubs are staffed with knowledgeable, certified trainers and friendly staff who welcome first-time gym customers and fitness veterans to join various membership options.

Members of its PF Black Card program enjoy benefits such as total body enhancement, half-priced cooler drinks, and access to gym services at any Planet Fitness center, including inviting guests as well as the use of tanning, massage chairs, and travel perks. The clubs' certified fitness instructors provide fitness training sessions and assist members with developing personalized workout plans. They also help them to familiarize themselves with the gym equipment for smooth fitness operations.

There is also a standard or classic membership option that entails unlimited fitness training, though entry is restricted to the club you registered at. This plan is cheaper than its PF Black Card counterpart and works best for individuals who prefer to work out alone. Additionally, all new enrollees, regardless of their membership option, are issued with a Planet Fitness T-shirt.

The Planet Fitness app enables customers to access strength, cardio, and dumbbell workouts at their convenience without physically visiting the gym. If you're looking to enjoy the aforementioned benefits and stay in shape, here's a guide on how you can join Planet Fitness.
