A recent survey revealed people are looking to focus on both their physical and financial wellness by saving money and exercising more in 2026. Planet Fitness is a great place to do both those things and they are everywhere. With more than 2,800 locations across all 50 states, they’re a gym for everyone – from beginner to advanced fitness levels. And from pricing to programs to perks, they’ve made it easier to start and stick to your wellness resolutions.

Plus, it’s a high-value experience. They have best-in-class strength training and cardio equipment you’d typically find at more expensive gyms but with memberships as low as just $15 a month. They have a special PF Black Card Membership with even more benefits like the ability to bring a guest every time and access to their Black Card Spa that has massage chairs which are fab. Rest and recovery are just as important as working out.

All memberships include free fitness training too which is perfect for people who may be starting or returning to a fitness routine. Joining a gym can be intimidating, but this takes the pressure off not knowing where to start or how to get going. Planet Fitness is a welcoming, judgement-free fitness community with trainers to help you get stronger along the way, whatever that may look like.

When sticking to those wellness goals, avoiding resolution burnout is key. To help prevent it you want to find a gym nearby and establish a regular schedule, when you have a schedule in place it helps avoid procrastination and motivates you more. Most people live within 12 minutes of a Planet Fitness and most are open 24 hours a day, which is amazing for people with busy schedules. Sometimes just showing up is half the battle. You can also enlist a workout buddy to help you keep accountable to your goals.

The Planet Fitness app has free trainer-led classes where you can learn about the machines and create a customized workout plan.
