PLANET FITNESS SUPPORTS NEARLY 500 LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH ANNUAL FLEXING FOR GOOD® VOLUNTEER INITIATIVE

More than 800 team members across Planet Fitness clubs and the Club Support Center contributed over 1,300 volunteer hours to support communities across the U.S.

HAMPTON, N.H., Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Planet Fitness, one of the largest and fastest-growing fitness center operators with more members than any other fitness brand, today announced the results of its fourth annual Flexing for Good® initiative, which mobilizes team members from the Planet Fitness Club Support Center, corporate clubs, and franchise groups to give back to communities across the U.S. through hands-on service. 

This year, more than 800 team members across more than 10 franchise groups and the Club Support Center contributed over 1,300 volunteer hours, supporting nearly 500 local organizations through in-person and virtual volunteer efforts.

Throughout the campaign, volunteers continued their long-standing support for community partners while also giving back to new organizations, including Exeter Hospital and the New Hampshire Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). Examples of organizations supported this year included:   

• Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation: Removed litter from Hampton Beach in New Hampshire
• Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Manchester: Stuffed backpacks for youth members
• Exeter Hospital: Made stuffed animals for pediatric patients and families
• Jonesboro, GA Community Food Center: Sorted food, cleaned facility areas, and assisted local community members shopping at the food bank
• Rosie's Place: Prepared and served lunch to local women in need in Boston
• Second Harvest Food Bank: Sorted canned goods to support families and community members in North Carolina
• St. Jude Children's Research Hospital: Created cards for pediatric patients nationwide
• SPCA: Cleaned kennels, walked animals, and helped care for animals' everyday needs at sites across the U.S.

In addition to volunteer efforts, Planet Fitness locations organized in-club back-to-school donation drives, benefiting local chapters of Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the brand's national nonprofit partner, as well as local schools.

"At Planet Fitness, making a positive impact where we live and work is core to who we are," said McCall Gosselin, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer.  "Flexing for Good® brings that commitment to life by giving our team members across our clubs and Club Support Center, as well as our franchisees, the opportunity to roll up their sleeves and make meaningful contributions to organizations serving their communities."

Beyond Flexing for Good®, Planet Fitness maintains a year-round commitment to community impact through Judgement Free Generation®, the brand's ongoing partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Launched in 2016, the program has invested over $12 million in youth mental health, awarded 380 scholarships, and constructed more than 50 mini Judgement Free Zones®.
