Since winter, Grand Fitness grew its location base a little bigger with the two new openings. Grand Fitness currently has 58 locations, but it will have 59 locations by late July and aims to open eight to 10 clubs by the end of 2022. The franchise group opened one club in Hackettstown, New Jersey, and has reopened Woodland Park in New Jersey.

Not only do Planet Fitness^® franchisees care about their members, they care about their furry friends as well. The Taymax Club in Burlington, Ontario, donated cases of paper towels and toilet paper to Burlington Animal Services in January.

Planet Fitness^® always dives headfirst into giving back, which is why PF Growth Partners (PFGP) was happy to take the “plunge” for a cause it strongly believes in – Special Olympics Maryland. After being delayed due to COVID, the nonprofit’s Polar Bear Plunge took place March 18-19.

After a two-year hiatus due to COVID restrictions and health safety concerns, Planet Fitness^® Detroit Co-Op brought back its Detroit Fitness Challenge April 30. The fitness challenge included Planet Fitness’ brand ambassadors from five of Audacy’s radio stations in Detroit, who on the day of the challenge completed a 60-minute total strength and cardio workout. When they completed the indoor triathlon, EPIC Fitness presented the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeast Michigan with a $10,000 donation.

Many families were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and with high prices due to inflation and supply chain issues, the homeless population continues to struggle with the effects. Four years ago, Jost ADK opened a Planet Fitness^® location in downtown Denver. After opening, the group witnessed the increase in homelessness in downtown Denver and wanted to give back to the local community.

To lend a helping hand to those in need, Jost ADK has partnered with the Denver Rescue Mission (DRM), an organization that improves the lives of people experiencing homelessness and addiction through rehabilitation, transitional programs, emergency services and community outreach, for the past four years.
