At Planet Fitness, we’re all about creating an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone can enjoy their fitness journey without breaking the bank. A recent study conducted by TRA in November 2024 has provided us with some illuminating insights into just how much our members save compared to the average gym-goer. 

Breaking Down the Savings

TRA’s research reveals that Planet Fitness members enjoy significant cost savings compared to other gym members. 

Imagine having a bit of extra cash every year to spend on things you love. That’s what Planet Fitness offers! Instead of paying a steep $753 every year like the average gym member, Planet Fitness folks spend just $408. That’s $345 staying in your pocket—about 45% less than what other gym-goers pay! It’s a huge win for your wallet and your workout regime. 

Research Highlights the Cost-of-Living Crunch  

TRA’s research highlighted affordability stands out as a primary concern when folks are considering a gym. In fact, affordability is 3x more important than the next most important factor – location. 

At Planet Fitness, we understand the value of keeping your hard-earned money where it belongs—in your pocket. By choosing our gym, you’re making a smart, savvy decision that keeps you financially fit just as much as it keeps you physically fit.  

Our commitment to offering budget-friendly memberships resonates deeply with our members, providing them with the financial freedom to pursue their fitness goals without burdening their wallets. 

High Value + Affordability = A Winning Combination 

But affordability isn’t the only thing people consider when choosing a gym. Convenience, atmosphere, and the variety of equipment and classes also play a crucial role. It’s not only about saving money but also about feeling that you’re getting true value for your money.  

For example, did you know all our memberships include weekly classes AND a consult with a qualified personal trainer to design a custom gym program just for you, to help you hit your goals? 

And that our premium PF Black Card membership includes benefits like weekly spray tans and red light therapy, which you might find are cheaper as part of our gym membership than if you were to buy them on their own?  

At Planet Fitness, we believe in balancing affordability with quality, ensuring that our members feel supported and encouraged without breaking the bank. And over 125,000 members in Australia can’t be wrong!
