Beginner’s Guide To Using Private Spray Tans

Beginner’s Guide To Using Our Private Spray Tans

If you’re a PF Black Card® member, you have access to one of our best exclusive benefits: the Planet Fitness spray tan. Our convenient, fully private spray tan booths allow you to achieve a flawless tan right at the gym. Here’s everything you need to know to get the best results from your spray tan at Planet Fitness.

What is a Private Spray Tan?

Available exclusively at Planet Fitness locations, our private spray tan machines offer a sun-kissed look without UV rays. The spray tan uses a natural tanning agent that interacts with the skin’s surface layer, creating a natural glow that lasts several days. For your comfort, the booth offers a clean, automated tanning experience, and you can select your preferred shade for a personalised look.

How Spray Tans Work

Spray tans use a mist of a fully-natural, vegan tanning agent that reacts with your skin to produce a beautiful glow. The colour gradually develops over a few hours, lasting several days. You can choose between different shades to match your skin tone and preference—whether you’re after a light, medium, or dark tan, you’re in control.

Post-Tan Care

Preparation

Prepare by exfoliating to remove dead skin cells, which helps the Planet Fitness spray tan machine apply the tanning solution evenly. Skip lotions or oils that might create a barrier.

What to Expect During the Session

The booth provides voice-guided instructions to ensure even coverage. With a 90 second fully automated spray, you’ll have a tan that looks as if you’ve spent time outdoors—no UV exposure required.

Post-Tan Care

After your session, follow the post-care guidelines. Avoid water and tight clothing for a few hours to allow the tan to fully develop. Daily moisturising can help prolong the tan’s lifespan, keeping your skin glowing.

Benefits of Using Private Spray Tans at Planet Fitness

Planet Fitness offers privacy and convenience that sets it apart from traditional tanning salons. Not only can you access the Planet Fitness spray tan booth at any time during staffed hours, but you can also choose your preferred shade—whether a subtle glow or a deeper bronze. With Planet Fitness spray tan colours suited to various skin tones, you can achieve a natural, personalised look every time.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

To get the best results, avoid:

Skipping exfoliation.
Wearing lotions or deodorants before your session.
Getting wet or sweating too soon after your spray tan.
These tips will help you maintain an even, long-lasting glow.
