High school students working out at Planet Fitness
From May 16 through August 31, Planet Fitness is giving all high school students throughout the United States and Canada a free summer membership. The High School Summer Pass initiative is open to all students ages 14 to 19. Any teen under the age of 18 must register with a parent or guardian online or in person. Students can pre-register now and receive a sign up reminder at PlanetFitness.com/SummerPass
In 2019, Planet Fitness launched a similar initiative that enabled +900,000 teens to complete over 5.5 million workouts over their summer break.
PLANET FITNESS EMPOWERS TEENS TO STAY ACTIVE
According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Network Open, less than 15 percent of teens met the 60-minute daily physical activity recommendation during the pandemic.** And a national study*** commissioned by Planet Fitness found that 93 percent of American teens want to stay healthy and active during the summer months, but many lack the motivation or access to do so.
“As a leader in fitness, we believe we have a responsibility to provide a welcoming, safe, and judgment-free environment for high school students to improve their physical and mental well-being, particularly given the challenges they face and continue to face in the wake of the pandemic. “, said Chris Rondeau - CEO of Planet Fitness. “Our study found that almost all high school students (92 percent) agreed that when they are physically active on a regular basis, they feel much better mentally. Exercise is also about feeling good, and our hope is that high school summer pass empowers teens to create lifelong exercise habits to help them be successful in all aspects of their lives.”
