Planet Fitness has announced the return of its annual High School Summer Pass program, allowing teens ages 14-19 to work out for free at participating locations from June 1 through Aug. 31. The program is available at over 2,900 locations across the United States and Canada, including the Planet Fitness in Hoover, located at 1839 Montgomery Highway, Suite 40.

Program Details

Teens can register online and receive access to strength equipment, cardio machines, stretching areas, and free fitness training from certified trainers. Participants also gain access to the Planet Fitness mobile app, which includes digital workout content. The program is intended to encourage teens to prioritize physical and mental wellness during the summer months when school is out.

A recent survey of teens and parents found that many teenagers experience mental or emotional struggles, while a large majority reported that exercise helps manage stress and build confidence. The survey also found that cost and access remain barriers preventing some teens from participating in fitness activities. This year’s program includes a partnership with gymwear company Gymshark, which will provide discounts to participating students.
