About The Judgement Free Generation
About The Judgement Free Generation
The Judgement Free Generation® is Planet Fitness’ philanthropic initiative designed to combat the judgement and bullying faced by today’s youth by creating a culture of kindness and encouragement. Our mission is to empower a generation to grow up contributing to a more judgement free planet– a place where everyone feels accepted and like they belong.
Bullying has become an all-too-common issue in today’s society. In fact, one in five youth report that they’ve been bullied and bullying is the #1 concern of parents of school-aged children. As the home of the Judgement Free Zone®, we are committed to addressing this important issue.
From September 1 – 30, 2018 Planet Fitness is raising funds for Boys & Girls Clubs of America to provide educational programs that empower youth to end bullying. 100% of funds raised in-club will support programs such as, bullying prevention training for Boys & Girls Club professionals and teen leaders, scholarships for Boys & Girls Club youth who promote kindness and acceptance, and Mini Planet Fitness gyms within select Boys & Girls Clubs across the country. Additional information concerning Boys & Girls Clubs of America, including financial, licensing or charitable purposes may be obtained by visiting www.bgca.org

As a staff member, I was able to witness how the teens interacted with each other. [The training] gives me hope that this future generation of teens can make the difference in a world that is in desperate need of understanding.

I had a wonderful experience with the training and had a front row seat in watching our Club’s climate greatly improve.
