Planet Fitness is bringing back its High School Summer Pass program, giving teens free gym access. Now in its fifth year, this initiative allows teens aged 14 to 19 to work out at any Planet Fitness location across the U.S. and Canada. Registration and access are available from June 1 to August 31.
Teen Facts
To gain a deeper understanding of what teens today are going through and how to support them, Planet Fitness conducted a nationwide study, revealing some key insights.
- Mental Health is a Major Concern: 66 percent of parents are concerned about their teen’s well-being and stress levels and 72 percent of parents believe that consistent exercise can improve their teen’s mental wellness. Unfortunately, around three in five teens report their stress and anxiety are not improving and getting worse as they get older.
- Working Out is a Solution: Encouragingly, 90 percent of teens say exercise helps them feel happy, with 88 percent noting improved mood after exercise.
- Exercise is More Than Physical Health: Teens believe physical activity helps deal with emotional ups and downs of being a teenager, 93 percent agree that regular exercise is beneficial when handling challenges.
- Screen Time is Consuming: 81 percent of teens acknowledge that social media and video games take up a significant portion of their day. In fact, nearly four in five teens report that avoiding social media is helpful.
- Summer Brings a Fitness Slump: 50 percent of teens report that their fitness levels tend to decline when school is out for summer break.
Planet Fitness provides a judgment-free space for teens, offering the resources they need to build healthy fitness habits that can last a lifetime.
