Sept. 2, 2021

Planet Fitness recently celebrated the grand opening of its new location in Norwalk, Connecticut. The new 20,000 square foot club, located at 360 Connecticut Avenue, will serve as a resource for greater Norwalk residents to maintain physical and mental health.

As part of its investment in the local community, Planet Fitness donated $1,000 to the Norwalk Education Foundation and is partnering with the organization to further its mission of supporting students and teachers in the Norwalk Public Schools system.

The partnership includes an exclusive Planet Fitness membership offer for Norwalk Public School teachers that allows them to sign up for a Planet Fitness Black Card membership for $0 down with the first month free. To take advantage of the offer, Norwalk teachers can stop into their local Planet Fitness clubs before September 30 and show a teacher I.D. to sign up for a membership.

“We know it's still a challenging time for many people, especially our educators and students, which is why we wanted to show our appreciation for Norwalk teachers and provide this exclusive offer to them,” said Mike Shapiro, Planet Fitness Vice President of Connecticut Operations. “At Planet Fitness, we are committed to being a resource for the communities we serve and providing an outlet for people to achieve the physical and mental health benefits of exercise.”

The Planet Fitness Black Card membership includes additional amenities such as the ability to bring a guest every day at no additional charge, access to all 2,030+ Planet Fitness locations in all 50 states, as well as access to massage beds and chairs and tanning, among other benefits.

“The Norwalk Education Foundation wants to thank Planet Fitness for their generous donation and support of Norwalk Public Schools,” said Margaret Costa, Executive Director of the Norwalk Education Foundation.

Member and staff safety remains Planet Fitness’ number one priority as the nation continues to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. Planet Fitness follows state and local COVID-19 guidelines at all of its club locations, including Norwalk.

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.
