Each new Planet Fitness^® club opening is exciting for not only the staff members, but also for local community members. Eclipse Fitness opened a new PF^® location Sept. 17 in Kennesaw, Georgia, about 40 minutes north of Atlanta. The group celebrated the grand opening on Oct. 18 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. As part of the celebration, Eclipse Fitness donated $1,500 to Team Red, White and Blue, a veteran service organization.

The franchise group didn’t stop there – Eclipse Fitness has also teamed up with Team Red, White and Blue to allow all veterans to exercise for free in its Planet Fitness^® clubs in Georgia on the first Friday of each month. During the month of November, the franchise group held a fundraiser in its clubs for Team Red, White and Blue to raise as much money as possible for the organization.

The new club is located close to Town Center Mall and Kennesaw State University. Nearby competitors to the club include LA Fitness and Crunch Fitness. The 20,000-square-foot club features a Vicki vending machine, massage chairs, tanning beds and more. With the new club opening, local community members, including local veterans, will be able to stay fit.
