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, 2019 Planet Fitness is inviting its members to donate to the cause by making a donation at participating U.S. Planet Fitness locations and through pfgives.com. 100% of funds raised will benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the nation’s leading youth development organization, and local Boys & Girls Clubs, and will support programs and resources that aim to promote inclusion and prevent bullying. Additional information concerning Boys & Girls Clubs of America, including financial, licensing or charitable purposes may be obtained by visiting www.bgca.org.

Together with partners like Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the nation's leading youth development organization, we are providing youth with evidence-based tools and training to create a culture where bullying is not accepted and kindness prevails. Since Boys & Girls Clubs of America enables more than four million youth each year to reach their full potential, we believe that we can and will make a meaningful impact together.

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.

We could not ask for a better partner to help spread the pro-kindness, anti-bullying vision across our Clubs. Planet Fitness and the Judgement Free Generation will have lasting, sustainable impact on our members and our communities.
