High School Summer Pass™ is in Session: Planet Fitness Welcomes Teens to Work Out for Free All Summer Long Starting Today
15 Maio 2023 - 9:30AM
Planet Fitness, one of the largest and fastest-growing franchisors
and operators of fitness centers with more members than any other
fitness brand, officially kicks off its High School Summer PassTM
program today, opening its doors to high schoolers ages 14 – 191 to
work out for free this summer through August 31 at any of the more
than 2,400 Planet Fitness locations throughout the United States
and Canada. Sign up now at PlanetFitness.com/SummerPass or at any
Planet Fitness club. Teens under 18 in the U.S. and under 19 in
Canada must register with a parent or guardian online or in-club.
ADDRESSING TEEN HEALTH CONCERNS
Planet Fitness’ third year of the High School Summer Pass
program comes at a time when mental and physical health is a top
priority for teens and parents. A study conducted by Canadian
non-profit ParticipACTION reported that Canadian youth and teens
may not be getting the exercise they need. Key report findings
include:
- 62 per cent of kids and teens were being less physically
active.
- 79 per cent of kids and teens were spending more leisure time
on screens.
- Only 28 per cent of
Canadian kids and teens in Canada met the national physical
activity guidelines in 2021.2 This is an 11% decrease from 2020 and
has resulted in an overall "D" grade in the 2022 ParticipACTION
Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth. The
overall grade in the 2020 edition of the report was D+.
The High School Summer Pass program provides all teens a safe
space – a truly Judgement Free Zone® – to prioritize their mental
and physical wellbeing during a season when school is out and
important academic and extracurricular programs such as sports, gym
class and after-school activities are paused.
“We’re excited to officially open our doors to high school
students today and provide a safe and Judgement Free space for
teens to focus on their mental and physical health this summer as
part of our High School Summer Pass program,” said Chris Rondeau,
Chief Executive Officer at Planet Fitness. “At Planet Fitness,
we’re proud of our commitment to give teens free access during the
summer so they can develop long-lasting, healthy habits and
experience all the benefits of fitness.”
ADDED MOTIVATION ALL SUMMER
LONG
To further motivate high schoolers to prioritize fitness, all
participants who sign up are encouraged to enter the Planet Fitness
High School Summer Pass Contest3. Planet Fitness will award 10
lucky teens in the U.S. and Canada with $10,000 individual academic
scholarships ($100,000 total) via a TikTok video submission
contest. To enter, teens are asked to post a TikTok video tagging
@planetfitness using the hashtags #contest and #HSSP23US (U.S.
members) or tagging @planetfitnessca using the hashtags #contest
and #HSSP23CAN (Canada members) that describes their High School
Summer Pass experience. The contest submission period runs through
August 31.
Additionally, the top 10 schools on the leaderboard across U.S.
and Canada in each tier (as described in the rules) will each
receive $10,000! These scholarships can be used to fund athletic
