Dear Fellow Franchisees,
The FAC TECH Committee, along with PFHQ, continues
to explore and pilot new technology initiatives that differentiate
Planet Fitness® from our competitors.
We have continued to pilot Radianse technology in order to
allow us to validate tanning compliance solutions and amenity-
tracking capabilities for use as a system-wide offering. Recently,
FAC TECH met with PFHQ to discuss the results of the pilot
and to consider our next steps. Through our evaluation, we have
determined that, in addition to meeting the original goals of the
initial pilot (providing a solution that can not only meet but exceed
the most stringent tanning regulations; track 100 percent of all
amenity usage; obtain usage data; improve member experience; and
LFconnect not only allows
franchisees to maximize our
investment in cardio equipment,
but protects our equipment.
we continue our analysis and
work out final pricing, we will
keep the franchisee base updated
on future rollout system-wide.
FAC TECH, PFHQ
and Life Fitness have actively
been working to relaunch the
LFconnect platform. LFconnect
not only allows franchisees to
maximize our investment in
cardio equipment, but protects
our equipment. As part of our
effort to utilize this technology
and relaunch the program for
maximum effectiveness, FAC
TECH, PFHQ and Life Fitness
have been engaging in weekly
relaunch calls, which will culminate with a meeting onsite at Life
Fitness in late March to finalize our relaunch strategy and roll
out. By mid-April, we plan to roll out the general relaunch of the
program system-wide, and invite all franchisees to stay tuned at the
upcoming huddles for information on future enhancements to the
program.
We invite you to leverage your existing FAC TECH represen-
tatives for questions, comments and suggestions.

exceeded our original goals and led us to new benefits and improve-
ments. This includes more effective and efficient software mecha-
nisms to operate our amenities (backed by comprehensive data
tracking that we can implement in the future), which will allow us
to continue to push PF® beyond the reach of our competitors. As
