LOWER BODY CLASSES:
YOUR FREE LEG STRENGTH TRAINING PROGRAM AT PLANET FITNESS
Lower Body at Planet Fitness is a free PE@PF strength class included with every membership. Designed as a trainer-led leg strength training program, this lower body workout class helps members build strength through the glutes, quads, hamstrings and calves while improving confidence with functional lower body movement. No experience is required, and your trainer can help you adjust movements to suit your fitness level.
WHY TRY A LOWER BODY STRENGTH CLASS?
Your legs are the biggest muscle group in your body so it makes sense to give them focussed attention.
Here are some of the benefits to taking part in a lower body class at Planet Fitness:
-
Stronger legs and glutes
Lower Body focuses on the major muscles of the lower body, helping you build strength through your glutes, quads, hamstrings and calves.
-
Improved stability and bone strength
A solid lower body base supports balance and joint stability around the knees and hips, and loading your legs regularly is a healthy stimulus for bone strength over time.
-
Supports weight management
Strength training may also support weight management by helping maintain lean muscle mass. Read our guide on why strength training is key to weight loss for more.
-
You get structure without overthinking
Instead of googling “best leg exercises” and hoping you’re doing them right, a trainer can correct your form, and adjust the exercise.
-
Consistency and accountability
Having a class time, trainer and plan can make it easier to show up, stay focused and build momentum in your routine.
-
It’s included with your membership
Lower Body is part of PE@PF, which means it is included with every Planet Fitness membership at no extra cost.
LEG DAY, MADE LESS SKIPPABLE
Leg day has a bit of a reputation. It can feel tough, awkward and easy to skip when there’s no plan in place.
Which is ironic, really, because your legs and glutes are the foundation for pretty much everything else you do. They help you climb stairs, stand up, sit down, walk, lift, carry, balance, train and move through your day with control, so it’s worth training them properly.
Lower Body is designed to take the guesswork out of training those muscles. Instead of wandering around the gym floor wondering what to do next, you get a trainer-led class with structure, support and a clear lower body focus.
And because Lower Body is included with every Planet Fitness membership at no extra cost, it is an easy way to add guided leg and glute training to your routine without paying extra for a separate class.
You show up, follow the session and build strength one movement at a time.
WHAT IS THE LOWER BODY CLASS AT PLANET FITNESS?
Lower Body is a free, trainer-led PE@PF class built around lower body strength training. Think of it as a training program for legs, minus the part where you have to design it yourself.
It’s designed to help you build strength across the glutes, quads, hamstrings and calves while supporting better everyday movement. Expect exercises that feel similar to squats, lunges, hinges, step-ups or controlled resistance work, depending on what your trainer’s got planned.
If you are after a leg strength training program, lower body gym workout or glute class with someone guiding you through it, Lower Body can help take the planning (and the thoughts about skipping it) out of the equation.
WHAT TO BRING TO A LOWER BODY CLASS
-
Water Bottle
Keep your water close so you can stay hydrated between sets and stay ready to move.
-
Comfortable Activewear
Wear activewear that lets you squat, lunge, hinge and move through lower body exercises comfortably.
-
Towel
Bring a towel to wipe down equipment and stay comfortable throughout your class.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A LOWER BODY CLASS?
Every Lower Body class is run by one of our PF trainers, which means the session is guided, structured and adapted to the group in the room on the day.
Your PF trainer leads the group through lower body exercises designed to challenge the muscles in your legs and glutes. You may bend, squat, step, hinge, lift, lower, stabilise and push through a mix of movements, depending on the session. The exact exercises change, but the goal stays the same: building lower body strength and confidence with a trainer in your corner.
PE@PF classes run across the gym floor, functional training area or 30-minute workout space. You might use bodyweight exercises, weights or resistance equipment — your trainer will talk you through each move and offer a modification if something doesn’t feel right for you.
WHO IS THE LOWER BODY CLASS FOR?
Short answer: anyone who wants to build stronger legs and glutes with a little more structure.
Lower Body is great if you’re new to strength training, but it’s not just for beginners. The class is designed for every fitness level, with trainer guidance and options to modify where needed. If you’re new, it can help you learn the basics, build confidence and get familiar with lower body exercises without the awkward “am I doing this right” moment.
You can go at your own pace, ask questions and focus on moving well before worrying about lifting heavier or doing more. It’s also a solid option if you just want structure, accountability and a focused session, minus the effort of planning a lower body strength training routine yourself.
Whether you’re learning the foundations or just want someone else to do the thinking for once, Lower Body gives you a clear plan, trainer support and a strength session worth showing up for.
If you are pregnant, returning from injury, managing a medical condition or unsure whether the class is right for you, speak with a healthcare professional first.
