PORTLAND, TN—June 22, 2021—Planet Fitness – one of the nation’s largest and fastest-growing franchisors and operators of fitness centers with more members than any other fitness brand – announces the opening of its club in Portland Village (112-A West Night St., Portland, TN 37148).

As with all Planet Fitness locations, the Portland club operates with enhanced protocols for working out in the safest way possible including: increased sanitation, employee temperature checks, touchless check-in featuring COVID-19 wellness questions for all members and guests, signage promoting Social Fitnessing throughout the facility, and the Crowd Meter on Planet Fitness’ mobile app that allows members to check club capacity before coming into the gym.
“Planet Fitness believes fitness is essential to our physical and mental health and we are thrilled to expand our Judgement Free fitness experience in the Nashville area,” said Victor Brick, co-owner of PF Growth Partners (PFGP), a franchise division of Planet Fitness. “We’re confident that our encouraging and non-intimidating environment will be a welcome addition to the community.”
As an introductory special, members can join for $0 down, $10 a month for Classic membership or $22.99 for the PF Black Card membership with no commitment through June 30. Registration is available in-person at the club or online at www.planetfitness.com/gyms/portland-tn.
Membership includes free small group fitness instruction by a certified trainer through the pe@pf program. Additionally, PF Black Card membership includes the ability to bring a guest every day at no additional charge, access to all 2,000+ Planet Fitness locations in all 50 states, as well as access to massage beds, chairs and tanning, among other benefits, which vary by location and pending local restrictions.
Planet Fitness also provides members with an opportunity to connect and support each other with “Planet of Triumphs,” an online community that celebrates all accomplishments and inspirational stories of Planet Fitness members, reinforcing the Company’s belief that ‘everyone belongs.’
Additionally, Planet Fitness has extended its judgement free philosophy outside of its gyms and into communities that need it most with its national philanthropic initiative, “The Judgement Free Generation”. Together with Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), the nation’s leading youth development organization, supporting millions of kids and teens during the critical out-of-school time, Planet Fitness aims to empower a generation of teens to grow up contributing to a more judgement free planet – a place where everyone feels accepted and like they belong.
The Portland club is Planet Fitness’ 25th location in the Nashville area and PFGP’s 14th club in the area.
