The Planet Fitness App is free for everyone, not only gym members. Planet Fitness says both non-members and members can use its library of on-demand routines and workout videos, exercise tutorials, activity tracking and a personalized Fitness Profile. Routines are curated and trainer-led, you can browse workouts by type, time and focus area, and equipment tutorials explain how to use machines with good form, which helps people new to the gym floor. The Activity Tracker logs workouts, and the app connects to Apple Health. Members get more: a Crowd Meter to pick a quiet time, workout class sign-up, digital check-in with a Club Pass and partner discounts. The App Store lists the app for iPhone only. Compared with Nike Training Club, its programming is lighter, and it has no set-by-set logging like Hevy or Strong, so it works best as a free starter app or as a companion for Planet Fitness members.
Who it is for
Planet Fitness members and anyone who wants simple free routines
Price
Free app for members and non-members; gym membership sold separately.
We believe fitness should be accessible for all, which is why both non-members and members have access to a library of on-demand routines and workout videos, helpful exercise tutorials for extra guidance, detailed activity tracking, and a personalized Fitness Profile to celebrate your wins.
