Planet Fitness is one of the most widely recognized chain gyms due to its infamous “lunk alarm” and laid-back fitness approach. I recently went to a Planet Fitness near me with a friend to find out if a membership is worth it.

A Planet Fitness membership is worth it for beginners or those who want a low-cost gym. It’s not a good gym for powerlifters, CrossFitters, or anyone with more than 3-6 months of training experience.

In this article, I’ll talk about my experience working out at Planet Fitness, and I’ll answer the questions of ‘is Planet Fitness good. ’ and ‘Should I join Planet Fitness.

I’ll also discuss: PowerliftingTechnique.com is independent and supported by our readers.

For more, see our disclosures page. The first thing I noticed when I walked into Planet Fitness was how purple everything is.

The members who were there when I visited were adults in their 20s to 40s. Most of them stuck to the cardio machines.

The Planet Fitness I visited had five Smith machines, but they were all occupied the entire time I was there. I was surprised to see there were no barbells, squat racks, or dumbbells higher than 50 lbs.

I also felt the equipment was organized logically, even if there were more cardio machines than weight machines. The staff was friendly but pushy about getting me to sign up for a membership.

Planet Fitness has one of the lowest monthly costs out of all the chain gyms I’ve visited, but you truly do get what you pay for. Planet Fitness’s setup and the equipment it has available don’t work with my style of training.

Other commercial gyms cost more, but you’ll have access to better equipment and a friendlier environment. I’ve seen some people refer to Planet Fitness as a “progress-free” zone rather than a “judgment-free” zone, and I can’t help but disagree.

Keep in mind that this was just my experience working out at the Pompton Lakes, NJ location. Although some things will be common across most locations, such as the lack of barbells and squat racks, the clientele and staff will be different at each gym.

So, is Planet Fitness worth it. No gym is perfect, and each chain has its own set of positives and negatives.

Let’s take a look at the question of how much is a membership at Planet Fitness.

They offer two different plans. Here’s an overview of the Planet Fitness prices:

The Classic plan is $10/month, plus taxes and fees. Planet Fitness runs promotions frequently throughout the year, where you can sign up for a Classic plan with a $1 enrollment fee.

With the Classic plan, you get: The fitness training program is a program that allows you to work with a trainer who will develop a customized routine for you.

Some Planet Fitness locations offer the option for you to pay for a full year upfront, which costs $199 a year plus taxes. However, this option doesn’t allow you to bring a guest for free or use many amenities inside the gyms, such as HydroMassage beds, tanning beds, and discounts on drinks.

Check out our detailed guide: 14 Gyms With Free Passes & Trials. How much is Planet Fitness for Black Card members.

There’s no enrollment fee, but you’re locked into a 12-month contract. You’ll have to pay the $39 annual fee as well.

Planet Fitness made our list of Best Gyms For Seniors. Check out why we recommended it and who else made the list.

Planet Fitness offers free day passes for anyone interested in joining, but not all locations accept them. If you can, I recommend getting a day pass from their website.

They were pushy and wanted me to sign up for a membership on the spot. If you’re a student, membership costs might be cheaper.

Planet Fitness is offering a summer pass for teens between the ages of 14 and 19 to use the gyms for free throughout the summer months. Sign-ups are open from May 16th, 2024, and the offer ends on August 31st.

While Planet Fitness has a good selection of cardio and resistance machines, its free weights equipment leaves much to be desired. Most of the treadmills, ellipticals, and resistance machines are from Life Fitness.

The stationary bikes are from Precor. You can see Planet Fitness machines with pictures on the company’s website.

As I mentioned earlier, they only go up to 50 lbs. This is fine for beginners, but most individuals with a powerlifting, bodybuilding, or CrossFit background will find this too limiting.

There are no bumper plates or Olympic-style barbells, but there are plates you can use on the Smith machine. Planet Fitness doesn’t have squat racks.

Planet Fitness also believes that squat racks are a huge liability and cause more injuries than other pieces of equipment. While I don’t agree with this assessment, Planet Fitness doesn’t have squat racks in most of its locations for safety reasons.

These are few and far between, though. If Planet Fitness is the only gym option near you, you can try some of these front squat alternatives, many of which can also be used in place of the back squat.

As you’ll see, Planet Fitness doesn’t offer a large number of amenities. This is why they’re able to keep their prices so low.

Planet Fitness does not have a pool. Want a gym that has a pool.

Most Planet Fitness locations do not have saunas. Planet Fitness has showers and locker rooms.

If you want to use a locker, you can only use it for the duration of your workout. You’re not allowed to keep your belongings in a locker overnight.

Check out our guide: 18 Best Gyms With Showers (Cleanliness & What’s Included). Planet Fitness does not have any basketball or racquetball courts.

Check out our guide: Best Gyms With Basketball Courts. Planet Fitness doesn’t have any childcare services.

Check out our guide: 12 Best Gyms With Childcare (What To Expect, Rules, Cost). Planet Fitness has tanning beds that Black Card members can use for free.

Some Planet Fitness locations also have spray tanning booths, but you can only use them at specified times throughout the day. Want a gym with tanning.

Most Planet Fitness locations don’t have traditional yoga studios, but some locations have separate rooms that you can use to stretch.

Black Card members get 50% off their drinks. Planet Fitness has massage chairs as well as HydroMassage beds.

Planet Fitness doesn’t have a women’s-only area. Planet Fitness doesn’t have group classes such as Zumba, Les Mills, or Pilates.

When you sign up with a gym, you’re making a commitment to yourself to do what it takes to improve your health. With most gyms, however, this commitment also comes with the pressure to choose a longer-term contract that may or may not work with your lifestyle.

Other people prefer a less restrictive month-to-month gym membership. Without having experienced each type of membership, however, it can be challenging to know which might work best for you.

Are you expecting life changes like a move or a new job that may drastically change your availability.

Also, we made sure to include the things to look for in any gym, regardless of how long you plan on being a member. Finally, we’ll walk you through how to maximize the value of your membership and leave no benefits on the table.

It is an environment built for all types of individuals with various goals. Find a Crunch gym near you to try our free trial membership, or join Crunch now.

Compared to a longer contract membership, a month-to-month membership offers clear differences and specific advantages. Even though both membership types may come with access to the same facilities and equipment, a monthly contract may provide some quality-of-life improvements depending on your preferences.

If you plan on moving or traveling, this flexibility could save you hundreds of dollars over the duration of your gym membership. When you commit to an annual membership, you may leave yourself open to rate increases or additional fees common with some big-box gyms.

When juggling a crowded schedule, a monthly membership is a perfect way to gauge whether you can fit regular gym sessions into your day-to-day life. Rather than committing to substantial annual fees for a membership you may or may not use, trying a gym like Crunch Fitness for one month at a time can free you from stressful financial commitments.

When choosing a gym, make sure they invest in things like: First and foremost, your gym needs to supply the free weights, cardio and strength equipment, and facilities you need to reach your fitness goals.

At Crunch Fitness, for instance, we reinvest a large portion of your monthly fees into buying and maintaining the best strength training equipment and cardio machines the fitness industry has to offer.

And, while most chain gyms offer some level of group fitness options, there’s no reason to settle for anything less than the best. Not all monthly plans are created equal, and it’s best to find a gym with a wide range of membership options and packages.

In order to get the most from your time in the gym, you need to find a place that offers the right mix of motivation and comfort. At Crunch, for instance, our first priority is building a no judgments atmosphere that also helps push you further than you could go alone.

Even with the most affordable gym memberships, there are still ways to maximize the value you get from your monthly fees. By using the tips below, you can turn a good deal into the best deal possible.

That means that the more often you go, the more value you get from your membership. To maximize your return on investment, consider going to the gym more often and using as many amenities and offers as possible.

At Crunch Fitness, we pride ourselves on providing some of the best group fitness classes available. With a Peak membership, this means consistent group classes to keep you motivated and your workouts fresh.

Even if you only schedule a single session, working with a personal trainer can drastically improve your performance in the gym. Regardless of your membership package, Crunch Fitness’s personal trainers will help you design a custom workout routine, show you the ins and outs of our facilities, and push you to achieve your most ambitious fitness goals.

Although guest passes are currently limited to our Peak Results memberships, they’re one of the most valuable perks we offer. If you’re a current Peak Results member with friends or family interested in working out, bring them along, and our staff will treat them like family.

Throughout the year, many gyms will offer limited-time deals with added benefits or value. Sometimes, this means free passes to attend group fitness classes or discounted monthly membership costs when referring new members.

Regardless, it’s best to keep an eye out for emails and announcements detailing limited-time offers from your gym. In the fitness industry, many facilities offer amenities and services to help members relax, recover, and reset.

Crunch Signature club members enjoy upgraded amenities that vary by location, so check with your gym to see everything it has to offer. No matter where you work out, you get more value from your membership the more amenities you take advantage of, so don’t be afraid to try any offers you encounter.

Now that you have a better grasp of the advantages of a month-to-month membership, it may be time to take the leap and get started on the next part of your fitness journey. With Crunch, your competitive monthly fees get you all of the tools, resources, and flexibility you need to make real progress–without tying you down.

Regardless of which you choose, our top-notch facilities, extensive list of famous group fitness classes, and dedication to a no judgments atmosphere will always be there to help you achieve even the most ambitious fitness goals. Crunch’s group fitness classes and personal trainers promote a culture of fun with no judgments.

Last Updated on January 22, 2022 by Heather Hart, ACSM EP, CSCS. Imagine this: a machine that touts fat loss.

Wrinkle removal. And all you have to do is stand still.

The Total Body Enhancement machine at Planet Fitness makes these claims – and more. And my gym loving, science nerd self (who also touts a bit of cellulite and wrinkles) wanted to see if there was any validity to these claims.

So I did the research – and also – got into the machine for a few months straight. Here’s my story, and what I discovered about the Total Body Enhancement machine.

SO IT ALL BEGAN WITH SOCIAL MEDIA. I was scrolling through Instagram stories, because that’s been my favorite distraction lately, despite the fact that I’m somewhat angry with Instagram for shortening users attention spans and therefore ruining the blogging industry.

As I scrolled through the daily IG “story” of an elite endurance athlete I admire, my (short) attention was grabbed by a boomerang video of her in a red light therapy bed. Immediately my mind thought of the “Total Body Enhancement” contraptions at my local Planet Fitness.

Planet Fitness, as it turns out, is not as horrible of a place as I once imagined it to be. Deep down I still fully support locally owned, small gyms that do not have a “no judgement” double standard, first and foremost.

kicking you out if they deem your outfit too “intimidating” and getting rid of squat racks and heavy free weights because only bone-head “lunks” use those. I’ve also snarkily commented over the fact that for years, their headquarters was located right next to a Chuck E.

But I’ll be the first to stand up and say, I’m sorry Planet Fitness. I was wrong.

And guess what. It’s not bad.

The equipment is always functional, and the first Monday of every month.

Talk all the smack you want about pizza in a gym, but THIS ultra runner thinks it’s freaking fantastic. There is ZERO shame in my pizza game.

I’ll take it. But I digress.

So this Instagram Elite athlete (it was Amelia Boone) reminded me that with my Planet Fitness black card membership, I get free hydro massages (yay), free tanning (say no to skin cancer) and free use of the Total Body Enhancement machine, which I’ve never bothered setting foot in. I knew it contained red light therapy bulbs, but that was the extent of my knowledge.

If super endurance athlete Amelia uses red light therapy, maybe I should too (gah I’m such a sheep). So I did a little online research.

What is that supposed to do for you. Well, non scientific, non reputable sources (aka, I googled) came back with the following potential benefits:

One study aimed to determine the effectiveness of red light therapy for abdominal fat loss. Results found that the combination of 3 different wavelengths of red light therapy was effective for abdominal girth reduction in 100% of subjects.

In another study testing the efficacy and safety of red light treatment on wrinkle reduction, groups treated with red and white light-emitting diodes found the wrinkle measurement in skin improved significantly from baseline at Week 12. The red LED group showed slightly better improvement, but there were no statistical differences.

“Photobiomodulation (the use of red or near-infrared light to stimulate, heal, and regenerate damaged tissue) can increase muscle mass gained after training, and decrease inflammation and oxidative stress in muscle biopsies” (Ferraresi, et al., 2016). As you can see, there may potentially be actual benefits of the Total Body Enhancement machine as an athlete with often sore muscles, a little extra butt cellulite, and stretchmarks.

Your guess is as good as mine. After doing what every social media savvy athlete does in 2018 (I asked strangers in a Facebook group if they’ve ever used the machine) I decided to give the Total Body Enhancement machine a try myself.

She gave me zero instruction other than “room 13” and walked away. I enter room 13 and shut the door behind me.

I have NO IDEA how this machine works, and there are NO instructions. The room was small enough that I couldn’t get a good picture of this contraption, so here’s one I pulled off Yelp:

There’s a lock on the door but…ehh no thanks (says the girl who runs naked 5K’s for fun). I decide taking of my shoes, socks, and tank top will be enough.

I scour the room for warning signs about eye protection and see nothing but a few disclaimers saying that the Total Body Enhancement machine uses NON UV emitting, safe lights. So I step into the chamber, shut the door, and hit what I assume is the start button.

But after a few seconds my eyes adjust, and I can see just fine. I’m still not sure if this is safe, but we are all a science (or Darwinian) experiment of one, right.

The fans overhead are quickly blowing air down on me, some New-Age music that makes me think I should be in a posh wine bar that I cannot afford to be in starts playing from above, and I hear a muffled woman’s voice telling me do to something, but I’m not sure what. So naturally, I just start pushing buttons.

I hit what I think is a volume button, and nothing changes. The control panel doesn’t give a level reading or anything, but I’m under the impression that there are, indeed, varying levels of…exercise.

The vibrating plate under my feet starts off at a light, yet tolerable level. At some point, maybe three or four minutes in, the muffled ladies voice tells me (I think) that the warm-up portion of my adventure is over, and the vibration plate suddenly goes into overdrive.

The “mom” in me wonders if all of this jiggling that does indeed come all the way up to my head is good for my brain, the logical “adult” in me remembers that I’m not a newborn infant, and cannot succumb to shaken baby syndrome. So instead my attention is drawn to how much my ass is jiggling (hint: it’s shaking a lot).

Once I get used to the vibrating plate, which, for the record, shifts and changes as it goes to target (and when I say target, I mean jiggle) other parts of your body, I actually quite enjoyed it. When I was able to relax, I could feel how the vibration plate can increase blood flow to your muscles, therefore loosening them up and acting as an effective warm-up.

The red lights were not hot, but they were certainly warm, which was again welcome pre-workout. Now, Planet Fitness claims the vibrating plate helps work your muscles.

So unless you can effectively shake your muscles into shape, you are better off sticking to the weight room. A post shared by Heather (Gannoe) Hart (@relentlessforwardcommotion) on Jan 6, 2018 at 9:10am PST.

After twelve minutes, the lady I could barely hear tells me my session was done (I think), the lights turn off, and I step out of the chamber and back into the room, somewhat disheveled and unsure of what the hell just happened. So I get dressed, emerge from room #13, and go on to complete a killer 90 minute workout.

Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available. View the current offers here.

Whether it’s to fight jet lag and weight gain or maintain a general sense of well-being while away from home, travelers are making it a priority to schedule exercise into their itineraries. Sure, you can always exercise in your hotel room.

At the same time, selecting a gym to meet your travel needs can be as complicated as buying an airline ticket. Just like selecting a seat, there are different tiers of service at varying prices for globetrotters.

You can maintain your fitness regimen and find a gym, studio class or personal trainer no matter how far away from your local gym you travel. Here are a few gyms and classes we love — just remember to call a specific location to confirm pricing ahead of time.

With more than 1,800 locations across 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada, the Dominican Republic, Panama and Mexico, Planet Fitness will be attractive to some travelers because of its vast network of facilities, some of which are open 24 hours. The clubs are known for cardio machines and weight lifting equipment but do not have swimming pools.

One-day drop-in passes are available for $20 per day for nonmembers. With some locations operating around the clock, as the name suggests, 24 Hour Fitness has 440 clubs across the country, including such popular travel destinations as Hawaii, Texas, Florida, Colorado and California.

Travelers may want to consider a free three-day trial pass, available to download from the website. With locations in 29 states and Canada, Life Time, Inc.

In addition to treadmills, bikes and weights, Life Time also offers a variety of classes including yoga. Pricing can range from $35 to $150 per day for a club with an outdoor pool, and club access depends on your membership tier.

There are currently 121 locations with pools, including a facility in New York City with a rooftop pool. Select locations also offer spa services such as hair and nails.

Accessibility depends on membership, with drop-in passes available for purchase. With locations in most major U.S.

In addition to sleek exercise studios, guests have access to amenities such as Kiehl’s hair and skin products, steam rooms and cool Eucalyptus towels. As with other gyms, accessibility to clubs while out of town depends on the level of your membership.

Travelers can also talk to a membership advisor about a one-day complimentary guest pass. Like 24 Hour Fitness, Anytime Fitness offers facilities that are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Or, give Anytime Fitness a try during your next trip with a free seven-day pass. There’s no question the “class craze” remains strong among fitness aficionados, who won’t depart from their routines while on a getaway or a high-stakes business trip.

Orange Theory Fitness users can visit other clubs in the United States, although some locations will charge an additional fee. International destinations may not allow such guests.

Barry’s Bootcamp has a pay-per-class model, with an average cost of $30 to $36 in the United States. Barry’s operates 60 studios in most major cities, including 23 international locations such as the United Kingdom, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates.

Core Power Yoga operates more than 200 studios across the country. Memberships are transferable, however, guests from outside of New York are subject to a $20 surcharge when visiting a New York studio.

With almost 10,000 clubs around the world, it does offer a passport program allowing members to access another participating club at a discounted rate. In order to participate, you must sign up for the TrainAway mobile app.

A number of chains offer fitness-focused amenities. For example, Westin’s website has running shoes and workout gear for guests to borrow while staying at its hotels for a $5 fee.

Hilton is now offering exercise equipment in some rooms, as well as BOSU balls, sand balls, resistance bands and yoga mats as part of its Five Feet to Fitness program. Select properties in popular destinations such as Orlando, El Paso and Chicago offer these specialized in-room fitness options.

Spotify playlists and running maps are available at Hyatt Centric. With a ClassPass subscription, you can access yoga, strength training, barre, martial arts, Pilates, boxing, and indoor cycling classes, as well as use health clubs, via its flat-rate monthly subscription service.

ClassPass can also be a good way to identify high-quality studios and unexpected activities near you. Doesn’t an 80’s themed trampoline aerobics class in NYC sound exhilarating.

If you have the money to spend, hiring a private instructor or coach is an excellent option. With a dedicated professional helping you achieve your fitness goals, you’re guaranteed to receive the most customized and personalized program no matter where in the world you go.

Elite, experienced and highly credentialed trainers can charge anywhere from $125 to $275 for an hour-long session. Contacting smaller gyms in the area and asking for referrals is one way to find a trainer.

Taking a look at a trainer’s social media platform or website should give you an idea of what type of specialized technique each offers. Lastly, don’t forget to use the right credit card if you plan to pay for a gym membership, day pass to a fitness club, private instructor, etc.

With the Chase Freedom Unlimited, for example, you’ll earn 1.5% cash back (1.5 Chase Ultimate Rewards points) on purchases – including those made at health clubs. If you spend $1,500 per year on fitness club expenses you’ll earn 2,250 Ultimate Rewards points, which are worth $45 according to TPG’s valuations.

Planet Fitness is a great chain of fitness centers for people who like to take care of themselves and stay healthy. As of March 2020, it had over 15 million members.

If that’s the case for you too, then you may be looking for ways to cancel your membership. This article will help you learn how to cancel your Planet Fitness membership.

In This Article. While Planet Fitness offers valuable services, there might come a time when you wish to cancel your membership.

Here’s how to cancel: Below, we’ll dig into each of these methods in more detail.

But that is not the case. The Planet Fitness Member Services phone number is (844) 880-7180, and you can call them for various issues.

If you wish to cancel your membership, you will have to go to the club personally. You can go to a local Planet Fitness location to put an end to your subscription.

Bear in mind that you will have to offer some personal information to be able to cancel your membership. More specifically, you must offer your name, phone, address, birth date, email, membership ID, and the last four digits of your credit card associated with the account.

Sign and send the letter via certified mail. If you don’t receive a response within a week, call Planet Fitness.

If both an over-the-phone cancelation and an in-person cancelation are not possible, you can cancel your membership by mail. Here’s how to do it:

This method of cancelation is by far the slowest and should only be used when the first two options are not feasible or unless the date of your cancelation isn’t of much concern. If you choose to cancel your membership by mail, you can use the following template to draft a cancelation letter:

I wish to cancel my membership effective [desired cancellation date]. Please process this request promptly and provide written confirmation.

Sincerely, [Your Name and Signature]. Canceling a Planet Fitness membership can sometimes be a daunting task, particularly for those reluctant to physically visit the gym.

There are multiple services like the DoNotPay, ScribeUp, Truebill (now Rocket Money) that help you with canceling subscriptions without any hassle. With these apps, you can sidestep the intricate cancellation methods and streamline the process.

Once completed, DoNotPay will send you a confirmation email indicating the successful cancellation of your membership. Note that third parties should be used as a last result because it is the only option that will cost you money.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to cancel your Planet Fitness membership by email. You can only mail a letter to them or cancel in person.

Maybe you don’t want to cancel your Planet Fitness account permanently. Perhaps you just need a break from Planet Fitness so you can save money for more important matters.

You can pause your membership so you don’t have to close it for good. This way, your account will just be on hold and you will be able to focus on other things, and then come back to your Planet Fitness membership later.

However, not all clubs operate the same, and they may have different rules. So, before you ask for a pause, you should contact customer service at the location where you have your subscription.

An option you have with your Planet Fitness membership is to upgrade or downgrade it. To do an account downgrade, you will have to go to the Planet Fitness location you have the membership at.

But if you want a membership update instead, you do not have to go to a Planet Fitness location. You can simply do it online.

Then, all you have to do is follow the instructions you receive. To complete the entire process, your Planet Fitness Keytag will be required.

Although you can cancel an active Planet Fitness membership, it is important to know that you will not get a refund after the cancellation. Even if you make sure to cancel early in the billing cycle, Planet Fitness will not offer a refund.

If you think you’re still being charged by Planet Fitness, one way to find out is to check your bank statement. Below, we’ve listed all the ways Planet Fitness charges might appear on your bank statement:

You cannot cancel your membership by mail or by phone, but you can use apps like DoNotPay for an easier cancellation process. All in all, before you cancel, make sure this is the right decision for you.

However, some locations might allow cancellations via certified mail. If you’re on a month-to-month membership, there’s typically no cancellation fee.

You can submit a cancellation request at any time, but the exact terms of when your membership ends depend on your contract. Some memberships have a 12-month commitment, after which you can cancel without a fee.

Typically, the member must be the one to initiate the cancellation. Exceptions might be made for extenuating circumstances (e.g., death or incapacitation), but proof will likely be required.

However, rejoining fees or policies might differ. Planet Fitness doesn’t usually offer refunds for unused days within a billing cycle.

While you can use your membership at any Planet Fitness location, the primary membership is tied to the location where you signed up. If you’re moving, it’s best to speak directly with the gym to discuss potential transfers or cancellations.

You’ll need to check with your specific location for their policies. Planet Fitness usually offers a grace period (e.g., within the first week of signing up) during which you can cancel your membership without penalties.

Sherry Pagoto from the University of Connecticut School, not necessarily. Gyms have evolved and are now offering services such as tanning beds, massage chairs, and even haircuts.

Last year, Planet Fitness made headlines for its new and improved tanning services.

In an industry that is constantly changing, it’s crucial to keep up-to-date with the latest statistics and trends surrounding gym memberships. Like all membership-based companies, people are at the core of your business.

both online and in-person.

Understanding the latest gym membership statistics means you can learn what will get members through your door (or booked in online) and how to keep them loyal in the long run. Here, we look at the gym membership statistics that have shaped the industry in recent years, and what’s to come in the future.

It may be in the rearview mirror, but its effect on the world of fitness cannot be understated. In this section, we’ll take a quick comparative look at the fitness industry pre-pandemic, so we can understand how COVID-19 has impacted the latest statistics.

It makes sense that over this time as the number of health clubs and gyms has risen, so has the number of members. The fitness industry was thriving with year-on-year growth pre-pandemic, and the future looked bright, but 2020 became the year that changed everything.

The report is based on an analysis of activity across a sample of 2,000 fitness businesses in the US, UK, Ireland, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia.

Amid the pandemic, consumer habits evolved at pace. There is now a greater emphasis on health and well-being.

Over the last few years, with the rise of boutique fitness, many studios have completely transformed the way we think about the traditional gym.

Gen Z and Millennials are a group of consumers who are willing to pay a premium price for health-related services. They want connectivity, community, and an innovative approach to wellness.

The brand owns different boutique fitness businesses including Purebarre, Stretchlab, Yoga Six, and Club Pilates Cyclebar.

The company opened new locations in Australia, South Korea, and Saudi Arabia, with more studios in development in Germany, Spain, the Dominican Republic, and Singapore.

Want to learn how to build your own loyal community for your fitness business.

To many people, the gym is about more than exercise. And while the experience may now be mostly online, this has never been more true.

If you’ve ever wondered what people do most at the gym or the odds that a gym member makes it past the six-month mark, we take a look at 10 gym membership statistics and trends so you can discover more about your members, increase engagement, and boost retention.

What many might not realize is that your retention strategy starts the moment a new member signs up. There are studies to prove that if your members are correctly onboarded, they are likely to stay loyal for longer.

Paul Bedford found that 87% of members onboarded correctly still remained active after 6 months.

Even with the best of intentions, it can sometimes take a lot for new members to stick to a routine. So, what can you do to help them stay on track.

In Strava’s 2018 Year in Sport report, the findings explore how New Year’s resolutioners can improve their chances of sticking to exercise resolutions – but this can be applied to a new gym member at any time of the year. The report found that about 94% of users who set goals remain active nine months later.

The majority of health clubs and gyms lose 50% of their new members within the first six months. Annually, a very small amount of health clubs lose less than 30% of their members.

Sadly, membership cancellations are part of the business. However, if you notice you’re losing members at an uncomfortable rate, it’s time to step in.

One way to pick up on problems that could be causing gym members to leave you is a gym membership cancellation survey. Take the chance to ask members why they are leaving.

The survey lets you know the reason behind a cancellation. You can then fix the problem quickly, so another member doesn’t leave for the same reason.

Home fitness has been growing since long before COVID-19, but its popularity has surged during the pandemic: the convenience and flexibility of online fitness can no longer be ignored as people strive to keep physical activity levels up with home workouts. Between Q1 and Q2 of 2020, at the start of the pandemic, home fitness app downloads grew globally by 46%.

The ABC Glofox Insights Report reveals that increases in online fitness classes have had an enduring effect on people’s behavior. In Ireland, when gyms had reopened and stayed open before the most recent lockdown period, online was shown to be helping increase activity levels beyond pre-COVID-19 levels.

Victoria Thomas, founder of JourneyFit, began her business a way of providing open, accessible fitness classes and platforms to her local community. Beginning with one location, run by just herself, she has since built a thriving franchise with three locations (and counting).

We’ll let her tell you herself: As we know by now, with gyms and fitness studios closed, people were working out from home, causing a surge in sales of home gym equipment.

The report found that between March and April 2020, online sales of fitness equipment increased up to 20 times in some categories compared to the same timeframe in 2019. Comparing March and April numbers from 2019, sales of dumbbells alone had increased by 1980%.

For now, this means that members can get the most from working out at home. It’s also somewhat of an incentive to stick to their online gym membership.

In the long run, it means that members will be equipped to continue working out both at home and in the gym. This reinforces that providing a flexible hybrid offering is essential for gyms and fitness studios if they want to increase their memberships and ensure long-term retention.

There are several reasons why someone may quit the gym. The top reasons often include pricing, members not actually using their memberships, losing motivation, feeling out of place, moving away, and not seeing results quickly enough.

In today’s online-gym environment, a lot of these common barriers are much more easily addressed. Digital offerings are more accessible and flexible than ever before, with various pricing tiers to offer value to everyone.

they can join in anytime, from anywhere in the world. In a study by The Retention People, they found that health club members are more likely to renew their gym membership if they participate in group exercises.

They found that 48% went to the gym for one activity, 32% for two, and 20% for three or more activities. The risk of canceling was 56% higher in gym-only members compared to group exercisers.

The key takeaway here is that live online classes are the best tool you have for retaining members in the long run. Everyone who shows up is in it together and is held accountable for showing up, just like they would at an in-person class.

In 2019, more than 62.5 million gym members visited the gym 104 days per year while 9 million non-members hit the gym an average of 24 days a year. About 18% of members actually went to the gym consistently.
