Yes, Planet Fitness does charge an annual fee, but the specifics can vary based on the type of membership you choose. For the standard membership, typically known as the "Classic" membership, there is an annual fee of around $39. This fee is usually billed at the beginning of the year, and it can cover various administrative costs and services.
If you opt for the "PF Black Card" membership, which offers additional perks such as access to any Planet Fitness location, the ability to bring a guest, and use of certain amenities like tanning and massage chairs, you will also encounter an annual fee. This fee remains pretty consistent at around the same rate, but it may differ slightly depending on your location or promotional offers at the time of sign-up.
Be sure to check the specifics directly with your local Planet Fitness, as fees can occasionally be subject to change or promotions may affect the costs. Additionally, keep in mind that in addition to the annual fee, there may also be an initial sign-up fee or processing fee when you first join, which can vary based on current deals or offers. If you're considering a membership, it's a good idea to ask about all fees and any ongoing promotions to get the best deal.
