Here’s why our members love bringing a friend for free!

More Motivation
A workout buddy can encourage you to push a little harder, cheer you on, and get more out of your session.
-
More Accountability
Knowing someone is counting on you can make it easier to show up and stick to the plan.
-
More Fun
Training with someone you like can make the whole session feel more enjoyable.
-
More Ways to Hang Out
Catching up doesn’t always have to mean coffee or dinner. A workout can be quality time too (and it’s at no extra cost!).
Your Workout Doesn’t Have to Be a Solo Thing
Some days, training alone is exactly what you need. Other days, everything feels a little easier when you have someone beside you.
Your gym buddy. Your partner. Your sibling. The friend who said they were “definitely coming this time”.
With PF Black Card®, you can bring a friend for free whenever you train during staffed hours, with no extra guest fee and no need for them to sign up for their own membership just to join you.
You bring the membership. They bring the company!
Planet Fitness Guest Rules: A Few Things to Know
The fun part is bringing someone along. There are just a few things worth knowing before you arrive.
Your Black Card perks stay yours
Your guest gets the gym-floor experience, while the extra perks of PF Black Card® remain exclusive to you. Black Card Spa amenities, PE@PF classes and personalised training aren’t included with guest access.
Guests train during staffed hours
Your PF Black Card® membership may give you 24/7 gym access, but Bring a Friend is available during staffed hours only. Guests cannot train overnight or during other unstaffed periods.
One guest at a time
PF Black Card® members can bring one guest with them each time they check in during staffed hours.
Bringing a younger workout buddy?
PF Black Card® members can bring guests from age 13. Guests aged 13 to 15 require a parent or legal guardian to sign the required form at the front desk, and supervision is required at all times while they’re in the gym.
If they want their own membership instead, members can join Planet Fitness from age 15 with parent or guardian permission. At 15, they can join on a Classic membership. The minimum age for PF Black Card® membership is 16 with parent or guardian permission.
Your Workout Buddy Gets the Full Gym Floor Experience
What does bring a friend for free at Planet Fitness include? Great question! Your guest isn’t coming in for a quick tour. During staffed hours, they can join you on the gym floor and make the most of Planet Fitness equipment, all without paying an extra guest fee for the visit.
Cardio, Your Way
Treadmills, bikes, cross trainers and more. Warm up together, get your heart rate up or settle into your own pace side by side.
Strength Equipment & Weights
From strength machines to free weights, your guest can build a workout that suits them while you train together.
Train Together or Do Your Own Thing
Follow the same workout, split off for different exercises or simply enjoy having someone familiar there while you each do your thing.
Not Just a One-Off Guest Pass
Bring a friend every time you train during staffed hours. Stick with your regular workout buddy or bring someone different next time. The perk is there whenever you want to make your workout more social.
Standard Club Facilities
Bathrooms, change rooms and water stations are there to make the visit easy and comfortable.
Same Feel-Good Planet Fitness Vibe
Your guest gets to experience the same welcoming, Judgement Free gym floor you do, without needing their own membership just to join you for a workout.
