Planet Fitness is committed to supporting its local communities and first responders. In 2022, 100% of equipment from Planet Fitness’ corporate clubs was either donated or resold.
Local franchise group CDM Fitness Holdings, whose first location was Franklin, Mass., Planet Fitness, recently donated three treadmills, one stair-climber, and one stationary bike to the Franklin Fire Department.
Exercise and physical fitness are important for first responders’ mental health as they experience prolonged levels of high-stress, work long shifts and may not have access to workout equipment at work or at home. During Mental Health Awareness month, we were thrilled to be giving back to local first responders.
