Residents of Puyallup now have a second Planet Fitness club to choose from. The new facility, situated in the Best Buy Plaza next to Boot Barn on South Meridian, adds a 19,740‑square‑foot workout space to the city’s South Hill area.
Why the expansion matters for the community
“Our expansion in Puyallup reflects both the strength of the community and the demand we’re seeing across the market,” said Steve Venezia, chief executive officer of CDM Fitness Holdings, one of the largest developers and operators of Planet Fitness clubs. “This new location in South Hill allows us to reach members on the other side of Puyallup who may not have convenient access to our first club. We encourage the local community to come in and see what our unique, non‑intimidating and judgment‑free environment is all about.”
Features and amenities
The South Hill club offers the same core amenities that have made Planet Fitness popular nationwide. All members receive access to a full suite of strength‑training equipment and brand‑name cardio machines, as well as free in‑club fitness training. The membership also includes the Planet Fitness app, which provides hundreds of on‑demand digital workouts that can be streamed at home or on the go.
For members who opt for the PF Black Card® tier, additional perks are available. Black Card holders can bring a guest each day at no extra charge, enjoy access to the Black Card Spa®, and use any of the more than 2,900 Planet Fitness locations across all 50 states.
Operating hours and local impact
The club’s hours are designed to accommodate a range of schedules, though specific opening and closing times were not listed in the announcement. This second Puyallup location brings the total number of Planet Fitness clubs in the Seattle‑Tacoma area to 19, underscoring the brand’s rapid growth in western Washington.
Local business leaders have welcomed the addition, noting that the gym creates jobs, increases foot traffic for nearby retailers, and provides a family‑friendly fitness option that aligns with community values of health and personal responsibility.
What’s next for Planet Fitness in the region
With the South Hill club now open, Planet Fitness signals its intent to continue expanding throughout the Pacific Northwest. The company’s strategy focuses on placing clubs in easily accessible locations, often near major retail anchors, to serve a broad cross‑section of residents seeking affordable, judgment‑free fitness experiences.
Residents interested in learning more about membership options, pricing, or class schedules can visit the club in person or explore the Planet Fitness website.
