Teenagers across Philadelphia can join any Planet Fitness this summer for free.

The City of Philadelphia and the School District of Philadelphia have partnered with local Planet Fitness locations for the High School Summer Pass program, which offers free gym access to teens.

Beginning June 1 and running through Aug. 31, the initiative allows young people ages 14 to 19 to work out for free at any participating Planet Fitness gym.

“I am committed to ensuring our young people have the opportunities and resources they need to thrive year-round,” said Mayor Cherelle Parker. “The Planet Fitness High School Summer Pass program is about more than fitness. It’s about creating safe spaces where our teens can stay active, reduce stress, and build lifelong healthy habits.”

The program, now in its 5th year, is designed to keep teens active, healthy, and safe throughout the summer.

Planet Fitness has various locations across Philadelphia: 1835 Market Street, 1128 Chestnut Street, 510 N. Broad Street, 1851 S. Christopher Columbus Blvd., 2350 W. Oregon Ave., 2641 E. York Street, 1575 N. 52nd Street, 2800 Fox Street, 3317 Aramingo Ave., 3000 Island Ave., 5753 Wayne Ave., 900 Orthodox Street, 6219 Ridge Ave., 501 Adams Ave., 6410 Frankfrod Ave., 11000 Roosevelt Blvd., and 2201 Cottman Ave. A complete list of participating locations is available online.

Teens must work out at the location they signed up at and are not permitted to use other locations, and teens under 18 must have parental consent.

“Fitness is about more than strength; it’s about confidence, wellness, and opportunity,” said Franz Kindler, Chief of Staff at National Fitness Partners. “We’re especially excited to bring this opportunity to Philadelphia, a city that shares our commitment to youth development and wellness.”

Eligible teens can register online at planetfitness.com/summerpass or at any club location. Youth under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at sign-up.
