HAMPTON, N.H., April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Planet Fitness, one of the largest and fastest-growing fitness center operators with more members than any other fitness brand, was recognized in Newsweek's 2026 America's Most Charitable Companies list. Planet Fitness was the only gym brand included among the 300 companies recognized in the list, and ranked within the top 10 of the Hotels, Dining & Leisure industry category. The annual ranking, developed in collaboration with Statista, recognizes companies for their charitable giving, community support, and broader philanthropic impact.

Through investments in community partnerships, youth-focused programs, and volunteerism, we continue to extend our values far beyond our clubs," said McCall Gosselin, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer of Planet Fitness.
