Planet Fitness has launched PerksFest, a limited-time promotion running through March 13 that gives members access to exclusive discounts on products from brands like Garmin, Gymshark, NOBULL, Amazfit, Caraway, Factor, Fitbod, Headspace, HelloFresh, HEYDUDE, and Weight Watchers. All of these offers are accessible through the PF App.
The PerksFest event builds upon the existing year-round PF Perks program, which has reportedly helped members save approximately nine million dollars in the previous year alone through partnerships with like-minded brands. The discounts range from percentage reductions on fitness apparel and equipment to meal kit promotions and wellness app subscriptions.
All in all, PerksFest is designed to reinforce the value proposition of a Planet Fitness membership beyond access to gym facilities. The timing of the activation during the spring season aligns with periods when many individuals are renewing fitness commitments or refreshing their workout gear.
