CREATING A MORE JUDGEMENT FREE PLANET WHERE HEALTH AND WELLNESS IS WITHIN REACH FOR ALL.

Read our 2023 Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Report

As one of the largest and fastest-growing franchisors and operators of fitness centers with more members than any other fitness brand, we have the responsibility to enhance the health of the communities where we live, work and workout. We believe we are best positioned to make a societal impact by increasing access to fitness, creating inclusive clubs, cultures and communities, and prioritizing sustainable business practices.

Our ESG strategy is guided by our Purpose, and designed to support our business priorities through the effective management of material ESG issues across three interconnected focus areas:

Access

We increase access to fitness for all through our affordable memberships, diverse locations, equipment variety and donations.

Inclusion

We create, promote and reward inclusive clubs, cultures and communities.

Sustainability

We strive to leave a positive impact on the world by actively contributing to a healthier planet.

We remain committed to driving positive impact and financial success while fostering judgement free fitness environments where everyone can feel like they belong. For even more information on how Planet Fitness is democratizing fitness and advancing health and wellness, read our 2023 ESG Report.
