Planet Fitness Hosts Women in Business Power Hour

DES PLAINES, IL (June 29, 2022) – Planet Fitness hosted the Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce Women in Business Power Hour yesterday for the “Be Safe, Get Fit & Don’t Quit with Planet Fit” free training session, providing chamber members best practices on achieving individual fitness goals along with a hour long training demonstration in which chamber members participated.

The training session focused on exercises you can do in the gym, at your home and at work, depending on your level of comfortability with working out in a public setting. Chamber members exercised alongside instructors who made sure they were utilizing proper form while working out. Near the end of the event, the attendees received Planet Fitness swag bags and one lucky member received a one-year Black Card membership which was raffled off to close the session.

“Since we just started the summer season and gyms are back up and operating at 100 percent again, we wanted to provide our members a networking event that focused primarily on keeping them happy and healthy through exercise,” said Andrea Biwer, executive director of the Des Plaines Chamber. “The Planet Fitness team did a wonderful job working with our members to focus on exercises that worked for their particular lifestyle.”

“This is the second year we have participated in this program with the Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce and we were thrilled to see so many returning faces, some of whom are now members,” said Kelsey Sloter, regional training director for PLNTF Holdings, the franchisee that operates the two Des Plaines Planet Fitness locations “One thing we all learned during the pandemic the value of working out and staying healthy, so we encouraged everyone attending to develop a fitness plan that fits their individual needs.”

Sloter, Lincolnwood GM Amanda Quiles and Trainer Monique Davis developed and conducted the training session, which provided some great exercises for the attendees to utilize. Additionally, District Manager Rachel Concua, General Manager Silanid Dones and the Des Plaines Lee Street Team participated in giving a club tour and getting the club ready for the event.
