Planet Fitness Opens In Toms River Shopping Plaza

TOMS RIVER, NJ — Planet Fitness has opened its new club at the Toms River Shopping Plaza.

The national fitness chain held its grand opening at the plaza, in the former Modell's Sporting Goods space, on Tuesday.

It's the third Planet Fitness in the Toms River area; there is one on Fischer Boulevard in the Bellcrest Plaza and one in South Toms River, on Main Street.

It's open 24 hours a day Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Planet Fitness has taken several steps to enhance cleanliness policies and procedures to protect the health and wellness of members, employees and the local community, including touchless check-in via the free Planet Fitness app; a Crowd Meter feature on the app that allows members to check club capacity in real-time before even leaving the house; increased sanitization every 20 minutes to continually clean and sanitize high-touch areas, and cleaning stations available for member use; and mask policies in accordance with local and state requirements.

"We are excited to bring our Judgement Free fitness experience to the Toms River community,” said Mary Bradley, senior vice president. “At Planet Fitness, we offer an affordable membership for a high-quality fitness center and welcome anyone, at any fitness level into our friendly, comfortable and non-intimidating environment."

More information is available on its website.
