IT’S GREAT TO STAY IN SHAPE
PLANET FITNESS
INVITES HIGH SCHOOL TEENS
TO WORKOUT FOR FREE
VIA THE HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER PASS
lanet Fitness, one of the largest and
fastest-growing franchisors and operators of fitness
centers with more members than any other fitness
brand, has invited high schoolers ages 14 – 19 to work out for free at any Planet Fitness location from May 16 through August 31 as part of the High School Summer Pass initiative. High schoolers can visit PlanetFitness.com/SummerPass to pre-register, but it is important to note that teens under 18 must register with a parent or guardian online or in-club.
According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Network Open, less than 15 percent of teens met the 60-minute daily physical activity recommendation during the pandemic.* And a national study** commissioned by Planet Fitness found that 93 percent of American teens want to stay healthy and active over the summer months, but many lack motivation or access to do so. High School Summer Pass offers a solution for those teenagers eager to stay active when school sports programs, gym classes and after school activities wind down.

“As the leader in fitness, we believe we have a responsibility to provide a welcoming, safe, and Judgement Free environment for high school students to improve their physical and mental wellness, particularly given the challenges they have and continue to face in the wake of the pandemic,” said Chris Rondeau, chief executive officer at Planet Fitness. “Our study found that nearly all (92 percent) high school students agreed that when they are regularly physically active, they feel much better mentally. Fitness is about feeling good, too, and our hope is that High School Summer Pass empowers teens to create life-long workout habits to help them succeed in every aspect of their lives.”
