Glenview Teens Can Work Out For Free At Planet Fitness

GLENVIEW, IL — Local teens looking to stay fit this spring/summer can do so for free at Planet Fitness. The national fitness club is rolling out its "High School Summer Pass" program, running May 16 through Aug. 31.

• The Planet Fitness location in Glenview is at 2211 Willow Road.

The free offer is for teens between the ages of 14 and 19 and is available at any of the company's more than 2,200 locations.

The program, launched in 2019, was formerly known as "Teen Summer Challenge." Planet Fitness said more than 900,000 teens sign up annually and complete more than 5.5 million workouts over a three-and-a-half-month period.

“As the leader in fitness, we believe we have a responsibility to provide a welcoming, safe, and Judgement Free environment for high school students to improve their physical and mental wellness, particularly given the challenges they have and continue to face in the wake of the pandemic,” said Chris Rondeau, chief Executive officer at Planet Fitness, in a news release.

To further motivate high schoolers to make fitness a priority, all participants who sign up starting May 16 are automatically entered into The Planet Fitness High School Summer Pass Sweepstakes. Planet Fitness will award one $500 scholarship in each state (and the District of Columbia), and one grand prize $5,000 scholarship at the end of the summer. These scholarships can be used for academic or athletic activities or programs.
