It’s 2025, and with the craziness of the holiday season behind us, many of us are looking for ways to regain our strength and tap into that New Year energy. As we look ahead, it's crucial to focus on both physical and mental well-being, which includes prioritizing exercise to start the year strong, and Planet Fitness is here to help.

Industry trends have shown that people are looking to do more strength training. Not only does it help develop muscle, but it also helps preserve muscle mass that naturally declines as we age. Stronger muscles also help with bone density and injury prevention, as they provide better joint support and overall physical stability. To help members get stronger together, Planet Fitness is starting to roll out plate-loaded equipment, including Supine Bench Presses, Hack Squats, and Seated Calf machines. They’re already in 1,700 clubs nationwide and will be in all clubs by the end of the year. 

If you are looking to get back to the gym after stepping away from exercising, there are a few things to keep in mind. Start every workout with a dynamic stretching routine. That will get your blood flowing to the muscles and joints to offset injury and prepare for movements such as arm circles, leg swings, or caterpillars. It’s also important to get a complete total body workout with a strength circuit that targets various muscle groups. Lastly, finish your workout with a cardio blast to help maximize calorie burn and improve overall cardiovascular health and endurance.
