"We’re thrilled to expand our ‘Judgement Free Zone’ to the community of East Lakeview and Wrigleyville,” explains Planet Fitness Franchisee Bryan Rishforth. “Based on the amazing response that we’ve received, we found it necessary to provide the local residents a high quality, judgement free fitness experience at an extremely affordable cost of just $10 per month”

Planet Fitness stands by its mission to provide a high-quality fitness experience at an exceptional value while staying true to being “judgement free” with a hassle-free and non-intimidating environment. Each club features the brand’s iconic “Lunk Alarm” – a purple and yellow siren on the wall, used as a light-hearted, gentle reminder that grunting, dropping weights or judging others is not permitted.

“There’s no better place to start your fitness journey than at Planet Fitness!” explains Allen. “I’ll take that over training with Jillian any day!”

As an appreciation gesture to its members, Planet Fitness provides free pizza on the first Monday of every month, and free bagels on the second Tuesday of every month (while supplies last) as a reminder that it’s okay to treat yourself after a good workout.

Planet Fitness provides members with the 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. Planet of Triumphs (www.planetoftriumphs.com) provides an online platform for members to recognize their achievements (big or small), share their stories and encourage others, reinforcing the Company’s belief that ‘everyone belongs’.

From now until February 15th, a basic membership costs $1 down and $10 a month with no commitment. This also includes access to the gym as well as unlimited small group fitness instruction by a certified trainer (known as the pe@pf ® program). An additional options is the *PF Black Card® membership which is $21.99 a month and includes amenities such as the ability to bring a guest every day at no additional charge, access to all 1,500+ clubs in the Planet Fitness network, daily tanning and massage and exclusive discounts at major retailers.
