Planet Fitness, one of the largest and fastest-growing global franchisors and operators of fitness centers with more members than any other fitness brand, today announced the grand opening of its new Kirkwood club located at 1599 Memorial Drive. New members can join now for just $1 down, then $10 per month or $1 down and $19.99 per month (typically $22.99 a month) for a PF Black Card, with no commitment until January 15. Planet Fitness offers state of the art cardio machines and strength equipment, 30-Minute Express Circuit, numerous flat screen televisions, fully equipped locker rooms with day lockers, showers and more. The club also offers PF 360, a small group training solution that gives users a fun, unlimited ways to exercise with customization and a wide range of specific training stations combining several popular total-body dynamic exercises. The new facility is open and staffed Monday through Friday from 12 a.m. – 9 p.m. and from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.  Committed to opening the new club in a safe and responsible way, Planet Fitness has taken several steps to enhance cleanliness policies and procedures to protect the health and wellness of members, employees and the local community. Enhancements include daily temperature checks for all employees, thorough cleanings using disinfectant effective against COVID-19, increased sanitization stations available throughout the gym floor, touchless check-in and crowd meter via the free Planet Fitness app, mask mandate, select cardio equipment temporarily marked out of use to enable Social Fitnessing™ and additional distance measures between members.  Exercise is a critical part of the health and wellness equation. COVID-19 shutdowns have already led to a 32% reduction in physical activity amongst individuals who were previously active and 53% of adults in the U.S. have reported that their mental health has been negatively impacted[1]. The new club looks forward to providing safe and affordable access to exercise for everyone.  "We are excited to bring our Judgement Free fitness experience to the Kirkwood community,” said, Timothy Morrissette Regional Director at Planet Fitness. “At Planet Fitness, we offer an affordable membership for a high-quality fitness center and welcome anyone, at any fitness level into our friendly, comfortable and non-intimidating environment. We encourage you to come check out our new Kirkwood location and see what our unique, Judgement Free Zone is all about.”  Planet Fitness prides itself on providing a high-quality experience at an exceptional value and being home of the Judgement Free Zone®, where members experience a hassle-free, non-intimidating environment. The PF Black Card® membership, which is typically $22.99 a month, includes additional amenities such as the ability to bring a guest every day at no additional charge, and access to all 2,000+ Planet Fitness locations in all 50 states, among other benefits.  The brand continues to bring its judgement free zone to even more locations in the coming years. With personal wellbeing top of mind, Planet Fitness plans to expand its footprint with additional clubs in seven counties around the metro Atlanta area. “We are always searching for new locations, knowing how essential fitness is to the local communities,” said Planet Fitness Director of Development Kass McInnis. “Along with health and wellness, our fitness centers are recognized for bringing jobs and additional foot traffic to the adjacent businesses wherever we open.”  Planet Fitness also provides members with an opportunity to connect and support each other with “Planet of Triumphs,” an online community that celebrates all accomplishments and inspirational stories of Planet Fitness members. The Planet of Triumphs online platform allows members to recognize their triumphs (big or small), share their stories and encourage others, reinforcing the Company’s belief that ‘everyone belongs’. Check out real Planet Fitness member stories and accomplishments at PlanetofTriumphs.com.  Additionally, Planet Fitness has extended its judgement free philosophy outside of its gyms and into communities that need it most with its national philanthropic initiative, “The Judgement Free Generation™”. Together with Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), the nation’s leading youth development organization, supporting millions of kids and teens during the critical out-of-school time, Planet Fitness aims to empower a generation of teens to grow up contributing to a more judgement free planet – a place where everyone feels accepted and like they belong.  For more information or to become a member online, please visit PlanetFitness.com or follow us on Facebook and Twitter
