HAMPTON, N.H.<\/strong> – Planet Fitness, Inc., one of the largest and fastest-growing global franchisors and operators of fitness centers with more members than any other fitness brand, recently donated more than 10,000 pizza slices, valued at $25,000, in honor of the fitness brand\u2019s Pizza Monday, where members are traditionally treated to pizza on the first Monday of the month. On Monday, May 4, every participant who joined the online \u201cWork-in\u201d on Planet Fitness\u2019 Facebook page helped donate a slice to essential workers on the front lines.<\/p>\n The donation effort is in partnership with Pizza vs. Pandemic, an organization formed by Slice Out Hunger, Slice and Pizza to the Polls, who are feeding frontline workers by coordinating pizza deliveries with independent pizzerias. To date, hundreds of pizzas have been donated to healthcare workers at more than 100 hospitals and health care facilities across 16 cities that are most in need during this difficult time. Fueled by our collective fitness efforts, these Pizza Monday pizza orders also provided much needed revenue to the small businesses serving our communities nationwide.<\/p>\n The free live \u201cHome Work-Ins\u201d are part of Planet Fitness\u2019 \u201cUnited We Move\u201d campaign, designed to motivate and inspire us all to stay physically and mentally fit. Featuring Planet Fitness certified trainers and celebrity guests, each workout is streamed daily at 7 p.m. ET and are available both on Facebook and the Planet Fitness YouTube channel once the broadcast is over. Each virtual class is 20 minutes (or less) and doesn\u2019t require any equipment.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s an honor to do our part by providing meals to essential healthcare workers,\u201d said McCall Gosselin, senior vice president of communications and corporate social responsibility at Planet Fitness. \u201cWe cannot thank them enough for their incredible commitment and bravery that is helping save so many lives. We\u2019re proud to be able to serve them a small token of our appreciation.\u201d<\/p>\n Unlike traditional gyms, Planet Fitness has always believed that fitness can be fun, realistic and judgement free. Planet Fitness\u2019 pizza history dates back to 1999 when a day-long shortage of hot water in its Concord, N.H., club \u2013 the company\u2019s third location \u2013 prompted its staff to order pizza for members in appreciation of their patience and understanding. The gesture was so well received and fostered such a strong sense of gathering and community that Planet Fitness implemented a monthly free pizza giveaway in all clubs shortly thereafter \u2013 and the tradition continues today more than 20 years later. \u201cPizza Monday\u201d now takes place on the first Monday of every month with more than nine million slices annually.<\/p>\n To learn more about what Planet Fitness or with Pizza vs. Pandemic nationwide, please visit planetfitness.com<\/a> and sliceouthunger.org\/pandemicpizza<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" HAMPTON, N.H.<\/strong> – Planet Fitness, Inc., one of the largest and fastest-growing global franchisors and operators of fitness centers with more members than any other fitness brand, recently donated more than 10,000 pizza slices, valued at $25,000, in honor of the fitness brand\u2019s Pizza Monday, where members are traditionally treated to pizza on the first Monday of the month.
