Planet Fitness High School Summer Pass Program Returns

This June, Planet Fitness will kick off its much-anticipated High School Summer Pass™ program, inviting teens aged 14-19 to enjoy complimentary workouts at any of the over 2,700 Planet Fitness locations across the United States and Canada. From June 1 to August 31, high school students can sign up to work out for free, promoting fitness and healthy habits during the summer months when many teens experience a decline in physical activity.

Since its inception in 2019, the program has become a staple in the fitness community, with over ten million teen participants since launch. Planet Fitness has dedicated more than $300 million in waived membership fees to promote youth health and well-being, making a significant impact on the lives of countless young people.

Addressing Mental Health Concerns

Recent studies emphasize the critical role of fitness in mental well-being. A nationwide survey revealed that 66% of parents express concern about their teen's mental health and stress levels. Moreover, 72% recognize that regular exercise can positively influence their child’s mental state. Despite this, a worrying trend indicates that nearly 60% of teens report worsening stress and anxiety as they grow older. Exercise may offer an antidote, as 90% of teens agree that physical activity boosts their happiness, with 88% feeling better after a workout.

Building Strength and Resilience

Planet Fitness aims to create an encouraging environment where teens can develop lifelong fitness habits. The High School Summer Pass program is designed to empower young individuals to take charge of their health and introduce them to a variety of fitness activities. Participants will have access to:

• - A comprehensive range of strength equipment and state-of-the-art cardio machines.
• - Free fitness training from certified trainers, ensuring safe and effective workouts tailored specifically for teens.
• - The Planet Fitness App, which offers hundreds of on-demand digital workout options.
• - A supportive community atmosphere, free from judgment, fostering confidence and ambition.

Additionally, teens will find specially crafted workout plans designed for their age group, promoting safe strength building and physical wellness.

Collaboration with Influential Athletes

To champion this initiative, Planet Fitness has partnered with Stephen Nedoroscik, a U.S. gymnast and two-time Olympic medalist. In his advocacy for youth fitness, he highlights the importance of maintaining a consistent training regimen and the positive effects of exercise on overall health. "Fitness and training have always been integral to who I am, not just in competition but in my daily life. I'm thrilled to support the High School Summer Pass program, providing teens with a free platform to explore their physical capabilities and enhance their self-confidence—all in an environment that cultivates growth," Nedoroscik says.
