What Shade and Level of Tan Should I Choose When Spray Tanning?

As the winter months are upon us and the temperature drops, keeping a summer glow can be hard to maintain. Planet Fitness Black Card® members are lucky to have weekly spray tans included in their membership.

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 spray that creates a natural glow lasting several days. For your comfort, the booth offers a clean, automated tanning experience, and you can select your preferred shade for a personalised look.
