Free Summer Gym Access for Teens

To help teens reach that goal, Planet Fitness is bringing back its very popular High School Summer Pass program. This program allows teens aged 14-19 to access the gym, equipment, fitness training, and workout routines via the app for free. All teens need to do is register. Once accepted, teens gain free access to select amenities from June 1 through August 31.

For six years now, this program has helped establish healthier lifestyles and has improved the mental health of millions of teens by fostering healthy habits during the summer.

What the Teen Wellness Study Found

To better understand teens and their mental and physical health, Planet Fitness commissioned a study that found that 95% of teenagers are struggling emotionally or mentally. Plus, more than half are dealing with anxiety, while 49% struggle with a positive body image.

Why Teens Want More Fitness Access

From that same study, 66% say that working out makes them feel proud of themselves, and 53% say it makes them more confident in who they are.

Hitting the gym every morning is something that I have been doing myself since mid-January. I've committed myself to going to the gym daily and getting in at least a 30-minute workout on weights or the treadmill. Yes, it will be hard at first, but once you commit and do it daily, it becomes part of your new routine.

In the survey, 47% of teens said that they simply could not afford to make fitness a top priority, but 83% said they would work out at a gym if it were free. I only wish my access to Planet Fitness were free!

Teens, here's your opportunity. Take advantage of it. Work on your body and your mind this summer. Become more active and do less scrolling.
