stance to protect the brand and find a solution that could immediately adhere to complex and ever-changing laws and regulations. After reviewing multiple tanning software systems and exhausting all avenues, the FAC TECH Committee, in partnership with the Black Card Negotiation Team, is pleased to announce that we are moving forward with an expanded pilot of the Radianse system geared toward tanning compliance and amenity tracking. Many of you may have seen this system in the technology showcase at last year’ s conference.
This pilot will allow us to validate tanning compliance solutions and amenity tracking capabilities for use as a system-wide offering. If the pilot is as successful as we believe it will be, an initial rollout focused on those states most affected by tanning regulations will follow the completion of the pilot.
As with all of the other pilot programs we have rolled out in the past two years, this pilot will follow a structured scope and process( including a strict conflict of interest process), adhere to key objectives and success metrics, and involve 17 experienced franchisees familiar with our pilot process. Each pilot club will fully participate in all components of the solution for the 120-day pilot period and conduct member- and staff-level surveys for feedback. The
results of this pilot, and our next steps, will continue to push Planet Fitness far beyond the reach of our competitors. We invite you to leverage your existing FAC TECH representatives for questions, comments and suggestions.
Thanks, Dave Leon
