BOSTON, MA – Planet Fitness, the innovative health club franchise known for its Judgement Free Zone and affordable prices, announced the opening of its newest club in downtown Boston. The new corporately owned location is located at 17 Winter Street near Downtown Crossing.
A grand opening party will be held on Thursday, April 30 at 11:00 a.m. with Mix 104.1, Boston’s Best Variety. Additionally, to celebrate the grand opening, the public is welcome to enter for the chance to win a grand prize trip to Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Beach Resort and Spa in Puerto Rico, among other prizes, by sharing their personal “Fitness Triumph.”
Now through April 30, people can join for just $1 down and then $10 a month with no commitment. The new Boston club spans three floors and is approximately 21,500 sq. ft. It offers brand-name machines and strength equipment, circuit training, fully equipped locker rooms with day lockers and showers, numerous flat screen televisions, HydroMassage beds, massage chairs, tanning, and a Total Body Enhancement booth.
“We’re excited to open our brand new facility in downtown Boston,” said Planet Fitness Chief Executive Officer, Chris Rondeau. “We have created an environment where everyone can work out and feel comfortable regardless of their fitness level, and while our memberships are always offered at an extremely affordable price, we never sacrifice on quality or providing a great in-club experience.”
Planet Fitness prides itself on offering low membership fees, a high-quality experience, and a unique Judgement Free Zone unlike any other gym, where members experience a hassle-free, non-intimidating environment. Each club also features the brand’s iconic “Lunk Alarm” – a purple and yellow siren on the wall used to gently remind people that grunting, dropping weights or judging others is not permitted.
Membership includes a variety of other benefits, including unlimited small group fitness instruction by a certified trainer through the pe @ pf program. As a member appreciation gesture, Planet Fitness also provides free pizza on the first Monday of every month, and free bagels on the second Tuesday of every month while supplies last as a reminder that it’s okay to treat yourself every once in a while after a good workout.
The PF Black Card membership which is $19.99 a month includes additional amenities such as the ability to bring a guest every day at no additional charge, access to all 900+ clubs in the Planet Fitness chain, as well as use of massage chairs*, HydroMassage beds*, tanning* and Total Body Enhancement booths*, and 50 percent off select cooler drinks.
