A Planet Fitness (NYSE: PLNT ) price increase will result in some members having to pay more if they want to work out at the gym and fitness company’s locations.
Planet Fitness has increased the price of its Classic membership from $10 to $15 per month. This is the first increase since 1998.
One thing to note is that this Planet Fitness price increase only affects new Classic members and won’t go into effect until the summer. Planet Fitness customers who already have a Classic membership will continue to pay $10 per month for the length of their membership.
Planet Fitness interim CEO Craig Benson said the following about the company’s changes to CNBC :
“We faced several headwinds which impacted our results including a shift in consumer focus in the New Year to savings and concern over the increase in Covid infections and other illnesses.”
