How Much Is a Planet Fitness Membership? (2026 Prices)
How much is a Planet Fitness membership? Classic costs $15 a month, PF Black Card costs $24.99 a month, and both carry a $49 annual fee once a year.
That is the national starting price, not the price your club charges.
Your local club sets its own price, and some clubs charge $29.99 for Black Card, some charge $37.99, and some charge a $59 annual fee instead of $49.
This guide gives you the national price first, then the real first-year cost under four scenarios.
Then it covers every fee, why your club charges a different price, and the discounts that do and do not exist.
The Short Answer: $15 Classic, $24.99 Black Card, $49 Annual Fee
The national starting price is $15 a month for Classic and $24.99 a month for PF Black Card. Both tiers add a $49 annual fee once a year, and both are billed monthly.
These are starting prices, and Planet Fitness says so on its own membership page. Prices vary by location, memberships may include a 12-month commitment, and local taxes may apply on top.
The same figures appear in the company’s 2025 annual report filed with the SEC.
That filing describes monthly dues starting at $15 for Classic, $24.99 for Black Card, a standard annual fee of $49, and enrollment fees of $0 to $59.
| Item | Classic | PF Black Card |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly dues (starting) | $15 | $24.99 |
| Annual fee (standard) | $49 | $49 |
| First year, dues plus annual fee | $229 | $348.88 |
| Club access | Home club only | Any club worldwide |
| Guest privileges | Not included | One guest per visit |
| Black Card Spa perks | Not included | Included at participating clubs |
The Fitness Falcon is the only competitor that cites the SEC filing directly, and it confirms the same $15, $24.99, $49, and $0 to $59 figures.
The first-year totals above exclude the startup fee and taxes. Add the startup fee your club charges, and add local tax, and you get the real price you pay in year one.
Planet Fitness is one of the cheapest gyms in America.
The average gym membership in the US costs between $50 and $65 a month in 2026, according to one industry review.
Another source puts the average at $40 to $50 a month, so the two averages conflict by source and are never merged here.
Classic vs PF Black Card: Full Comparison
Planet Fitness sells two memberships, and the difference is access, guests, and spa perks. Classic is the cheap home-club plan, and Black Card is the premium plan that works everywhere.
Both tiers include the same gym floor: cardio machines, strength equipment, free fitness training, locker rooms, and showers. The Black Card adds the extras, and the question is whether you use them.
Black Card costs $9.99 a month more than Classic at the national starting prices. Over a year, that is $119.88, because the annual fee is the same $49 on both tiers under the national terms.
| Feature | Classic ($15 a month) | PF Black Card ($24.99 a month) |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly dues | $15 | $24.99 |
| Annual fee | $49 | $49 |
| Club access | Home club only | Any Planet Fitness club worldwide |
| Bring a guest | No | Yes, one guest per visit |
| Tanning | No | Yes, at participating clubs |
| Massage chairs | No | Yes, at participating clubs |
| HydroMassage beds | No | Yes, at participating clubs |
| Total Body Enhancement | No | Yes, at participating clubs |
| 50% off select cooler drinks | No | Yes |
| Partner rewards | Standard | Premium access |
| Free fitness training | Yes | Yes |
Choose Classic if you always train at one club and you never bring a guest.
It is the cheapest way into a gym in America, and the $15 price has held since the 2024 increase from $10.
Choose Black Card if you travel, train at more than one club, or bring a friend.
One guest per visit means two people train for $24.99 a month, which is cheaper than two Classic memberships at $30 a month.
Choose Black Card if you use the spa perks at least twice a month.
Tanning, massage chairs, HydroMassage, and Total Body Enhancement are the perks that justify the $9.99 monthly premium, and only you know if you use them.
What Is Total Body Enhancement?
Total Body Enhancement is a Black Card machine that combines red light therapy with vibration. You stand on a vibrating platform inside a red light booth, and the session lasts about 12 minutes.
It is available at participating clubs only, and it is one of the perks that separates Black Card from Classic. Some members use it every visit, and some never touch it.
Do not pick Black Card for one perk you will not use. The $119.88 yearly premium only pays off if the perks match your routine, and a perk you ignore is money you gave away.
The Real First-Year Cost (Four Scenarios)
The monthly price is not the real price. The real first-year cost is 12 months of dues, plus the startup fee, plus the annual fee, plus tax, and the total changes with every club.
Four sources calculate the first year four different ways, and this guide shows all four, labelled by source, because merging them would hide the truth about local pricing.
| Scenario | Classic first year | Black Card first year | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| National starting prices, no startup fee | $229 | $348.88 | Planet Fitness membership page; The Pricer; WealthVieu |
| National starting prices, $1 startup fee | $230 | $349.88 | PF Membership (independent guide) |
| $29.99 Black Card, $59 annual fee | $239 | $429 | PF Guides (uses $29.99 Black Card as standard) |
| Clubs checked, before taxes | $270 to $460 | $270 to $460 | Planet Fitness Guide (clubs checked Oct 2026) |
An independent pricing guide checked the same figures against the official site in October 2026 and reached the same national totals.
The first scenario is the national answer. Twelve months of Classic at $15 is $180, plus the $49 annual fee, equals $229. Twelve months of Black Card at $24.99 is $299.88, plus $49, equals $348.88.
The second scenario adds a $1 startup fee. Many clubs run $1-down promotions, so the first-year total becomes $230 for Classic and $349.88 for Black Card, before tax.
The third scenario uses PF Guides’ figures. It assumes a $29.99 Black Card and a $59 annual fee, which gives $239 for Classic and $429 for Black Card.
Those figures conflict with the national terms, and they are presented here as PF Guides’ figures, not as the national price.
The fourth scenario is the widest range.
In the clubs Planet Fitness Guide checked in October 2026, the first year cost about $270 to $460 before taxes, which works out to about $22 to $38 a month all in.
Your club’s checkout page is the only number that counts.
The national price tells you the floor, and the club page tells you the price you actually pay, so check the club page before you join.
Every Fee, Explained
Five charges can appear on a Planet Fitness bill, and only two are monthly dues.
The startup fee, the annual fee, the buyout fee, taxes, and the non-home visit fee are the ones that surprise new members.
Read this section before you join, because every fee is avoidable or predictable once you know it exists. The members who feel cheated are the ones who never saw the fee coming.
Startup Fee (Enrollment Fee): $0 to $59
The startup fee is a one-time charge when you join, and it ranges from $0 to $59. The SEC filing gives that range, and individual clubs set their own figure inside it.
Most guides report a typical range of $1 to $49. Promotions often drop the fee to $1 down, and some clubs waive it entirely during New Year and summer promotions.
Join during a $1-down offer and the startup fee is $1.
Planet Fitness runs these offers often, especially around New Year, summer, and back-to-school season, so waiting a few weeks can save you up to $58.
Annual Fee: $49 Standard, $59 at Some Clubs, $0 at Others
The annual fee is $49 once a year under the national terms, and it applies to both Classic and Black Card.
It is sometimes called the annual enhancement fee, and it is separate from your monthly dues.
Some clubs charge $59 instead of $49.
Batavia, New York and Fishkill, New York both showed a $59 annual fee on their club pages, and Hampton Bays showed a $59 annual fee on its Black Card offer.
Some clubs waive the annual fee entirely. A Bronx Black Card offer showed $37.99 a month with no annual fee, which proves the fee is set club by club, not nationally.
The annual fee timing is disputed by source. One price index reports the fee hits about 8 weeks after joining, while the cancellation research reports it runs on your join-date anniversary.
Both are presented here by source, and your agreement states your own date.
To stop the annual fee, cancel before it is charged.
The deadline rules are the 25th of the month before your annual-fee month, and at least 7 to 8 days before the fee date, and the safe rule is the earlier of the two.
Gyms run on subscription services, and the annual fee is the part of the model that members notice least and pay most.
Buyout Fee: $58 for Ending a 12-Month Term Early
The buyout fee is $58, and it applies only if you end a 12-month minimum-term membership early. Once the 12 months end, your membership becomes month-to-month, and cancelling is free.
The buyout is a fixed fee, not a percentage, and it is cheaper than paying the remaining months of dues.
If you are in month 4 of a 12-month term, paying $58 to leave beats paying 8 more months.
Planet Fitness must offer a no-commitment option. The SEC filing says the company offers, and requires franchisees to offer, a no-commitment membership, so you can avoid the buyout entirely by choosing that option at signup.
Taxes: Vary by Club and State
Local taxes may apply on top of your dues, and they vary by club and by state.
The national starting prices exclude tax, so your statement total is higher than $15 or $24.99 in most places.
Check the checkout page for your club before you join, because the tax line is shown there. A $15 Classic membership with tax is usually $16 to $17 a month, depending on the local rate.
Monthly dues are drafted automatically, and instant payments have changed how small businesses handle that cash flow, so the charge lands on the same date every month.
The $5 Non-Home Visit Fee
If you visit a non-home club more than 10 times in one calendar month, a $5 fee can apply per visit after the tenth.
This rule is in Planet Fitness’s own policy, and only one competitor mentions it.
The fee applies to Classic members, because Classic covers only your home club. Black Card members can use any club, so the fee does not apply to them.
If you travel often, Black Card is cheaper than the fee.
Eleven visits to another club in a month costs $5 on Classic, and a regular traveller pays more in fees than the $9.99 Black Card premium.
Why Your Club Charges a Different Price
Planet Fitness clubs are independently owned and operated franchises, and each club sets its own prices. The national page gives starting prices, and the club page gives the real price.
That is why two clubs in the same state can charge different amounts for the same membership. Rent, local wages, and local competition all feed into the club’s price, and the company lets franchisees adjust.
Three club pages checked in 2026 show how wide the gap gets, and The Pricer documents the Bronx and Hampton Bays offers in detail.
All three are named here with their figures, so you can see the range instead of guessing.
| Club | Black Card monthly | Startup fee | Annual fee | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| National starting terms | $24.99 | Varies | $49 | Planet Fitness membership page |
| Bronx, New York | $37.99 | $1 | $0 (waived) | The Pricer (Oct 2026) |
| Hampton Bays, New York | $29.99 | $1 | $59 | The Pricer (Oct 2026) |
| Fishkill, New York | $29.99 | Not stated | $59 | PF Membership (Oct 2026) |
| Batavia, New York | Not stated | $59 (Classic) | $59 | PF Membership (Oct 2026) |
| Seat Pleasant | $24.99 | $1 | $49 | The Pricer (Oct 2026) |
Bronx is the most expensive Black Card in the examples, and Seat Pleasant is the cheapest.
Bronx charges $37.99 a month with no annual fee, while Seat Pleasant charges the national $24.99 with a $1 startup and a $49 annual fee.
The Bronx example shows why the annual fee matters less than the monthly price.
No annual fee sounds like a deal, but $37.99 a month is $13 more than the national rate, which is $156 more a year, and that dwarfs the $49 fee it replaces.
Always check your own club’s page. The national price is the floor, and your club’s page is the price you pay, so open the club page and read the checkout total before you sign anything.
The $29.99 Black Card Increase: Announced, Then Paused
Planet Fitness announced it would raise Black Card from $24.99 to $29.99 a month after the 2026 peak join season. The announcement was public, and several guides reported it as if it had already happened.
The national rollout was then paused. On the second quarter 2026 earnings call, management said it was pausing a broad Black Card increase while it tests prices by region and by tier.
As of October 2026, the national price was still $24.99. Price trackers re-checked the company’s own site in September and October 2026, and the increase still had not landed nationally.
Some clubs already charge $29.99. Hampton Bays and Fishkill both showed $29.99 Black Card offers, which is the regional price testing in action, and it is why your club may already show the higher price.
Do not trust a guide that lists $29.99 as the standard Black Card price.
That figure is the announced future price and the price at some clubs, but it is not the national price, and presenting it as standard is wrong.
Re-check the price at Step 2 and at publication.
The pause could end at any time, and a price that is $24.99 today could be $29.99 next quarter, so the article must carry a verification date.
The $10 Classic Promotion
Planet Fitness ran a Classic promotion at $10 a month with $1 down from August 31 through September 10, 2026.
That was a limited-time offer, and it is the closest the price has come to the old $10 rate.
The company plans a limited-time $10 Classic promotion nationwide.
On its October earnings call, management said the promotion would run nationally, and that members who join during it keep the $10 rate as a legacy-protected price.
A legacy-protected rate means your price does not rise when the promotion ends.
If you join at $10 during the promotion, you keep paying $10 while the promotion is over, and that is the cheapest way to lock in a low rate.
The $10 price is not the standard price.
Classic rose from $10 to $15 for new members in 2024, and $10 is now a promotional price, not the everyday price, so do not expect $10 at the checkout page outside a promotion.
Watch for the promotion around New Year.
Planet Fitness runs its biggest promotions in January, and a $10 Classic offer with $1 down is the deal to wait for if you are not in a hurry.
Cost Per Visit: Is Planet Fitness Worth It?
A membership is worth it if the cost per visit beats the alternatives, and Planet Fitness wins that math easily. The test is simple: divide your monthly cost by the number of times you go.
At the national starting prices, Classic costs $229 a year before startup and taxes, and Black Card costs $348.88. Divide by your visits, and the answer appears.
| Visits per week | Visits per year | Classic cost per visit | Black Card cost per visit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 52 | $4.40 | $6.71 |
| 2 | 104 | $2.20 | $3.35 |
| 3 | 156 | $1.47 | $2.24 |
| 4 | 208 | $1.10 | $1.68 |
| 5 | 260 | $0.88 | $1.34 |
At two visits a week, Classic costs about $2.20 per visit.
That figure comes from BudgetSeniors, and it is the number to remember, because two visits a week is the most common pattern for casual members.
At one visit a week, Classic still costs only $4.40 per visit.
That is cheaper than a coffee, and it is cheaper than any day pass, which is why even a light user gets value from the membership.
The membership is not worth it if you never go.
A $15 monthly charge for zero visits is $180 a year for nothing, and the members who feel cheated are the ones who stopped going and kept paying.
Track your visits for the first month. If you go fewer than four times in the first month, freeze or cancel, because the cost per visit only works when you actually show up.
Your muscles will feel sore after the first sessions back, and that soreness is normal after a break from training.
Discounts: Student, Senior, Military, Teen
Planet Fitness has no national student discount, no national senior discount, and no national military discount. That is the honest answer, and it is confirmed by every guide that checked the official site.
Students, seniors, and military members pay the same $15 Classic or $24.99 Black Card as everyone else. There is no student plan, no senior plan, and no military plan on the official website.
Do not pay anyone for a Planet Fitness discount.
If a website sells you a student discount code or a military discount link, it is a scam, because no such discount exists at the national level.
Student Discount: None, Except the Summer Pass
There is no year-round student discount at Planet Fitness. College students join on Classic or Black Card, the same plans offered to everyone, and they pay the same prices.
The one genuine student offer is the High School Summer Pass, which is free for teens aged 14 to 19.
It is a seasonal offer, not a student discount, and it is covered in the teen section below.
If you are a college student, Classic is the cheapest year-round route.
Join during a $1-down offer, and you pay $15 a month plus the $49 annual fee, which is the lowest price Planet Fitness offers to anyone.
Senior Discount: None, But SilverSneakers Works
There is no direct senior discount at Planet Fitness. Seniors pay the regular $15 or $24.99, just like everyone else, and no age-based price exists.
Some seniors can train free through SilverSneakers or Silver&Fit. These are fitness benefits inside qualifying Medicare Advantage or Medigap plans, and participating Planet Fitness clubs accept them.
Check your Medicare Advantage plan before you join. If your plan includes SilverSneakers or Silver&Fit, and your club participates, your membership may cost you nothing at all.
Military Discount: None Confirmed
No universal national military discount was confirmed at Planet Fitness. The guides that checked the official site found no military plan and no military price.
Some individual clubs may offer a local military discount, but it is set by the franchise, not by the company, so ask your home club directly and do not assume it exists.
Teen Membership and the High School Summer Pass
Teens aged 13 to 17 can join Planet Fitness with a parent or guardian’s permission. They pay the same $15 or $24.99 as adults, and there is no teen price.
Members aged 13 and 14 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian whenever they work out. Older teens can work out alone, but the parent or guardian must sign the agreement.
The High School Summer Pass is free for teens aged 14 to 19. It lets teens train free all summer at a participating club, with no long-term commitment and no monthly charge.
The Summer Pass dates conflict by source: one guide says May to August, and another says June 1 to August 31.
Both are presented here by source, and the club page states the exact dates for each year.
Free Trial and Day Pass
Planet Fitness offers a free one-day pass at participating clubs, and it costs $0.
You claim it through the PF app or at the club, and it lets you try the gym before you commit to a membership.
The free pass is the smartest way to join.
Use it to check the equipment, the crowds, and the class times at the hours you would actually train, because a gym that is perfect at noon can be packed at 6 p.m.
Your heart rate stays high after exercise for a while, and that is normal, so use the free pass to test the club at your real training pace.
The paid day fee is a different thing, and Planet Fitness does not publish its amount.
The policy says a non-member aged 18 or older with a photo ID can pay a day fee set by the club, and no national dollar figure exists.
Some articles give a day-pass figure anyway, usually between $5 and $20, but no source supports those numbers, and this guide does not repeat them.
The honest answer is that the amount is set locally and is not published.
If you pay the day fee and join the same club within 30 days, the full amount applies toward your membership fees.
Keep the receipt, because Planet Fitness requires a valid receipt to apply the credit.
Black Card guests pay nothing.
A Black Card member can bring one guest per visit, and the guest trains free, though guests must be 18 or older, or 13 to 17 with a parent or guardian along.
Planet Fitness vs Other Gyms
Planet Fitness is the cheapest national gym for a beginner, but it is not the cheapest gym of all. Crunch, EōS, and Chuze all start at $9.99 a month, which undercuts Classic by $5.
The comparison that matters is the total first-year cost, not the monthly price.
Annual fees change the ranking, and a $9.99 gym with a $59.99 or $89 annual fee can cost more than a $15 gym with a $49 fee.
| Gym | Monthly range | Annual fee | First-year cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Planet Fitness Classic | $15 | $49 | About $230 | Beginners, budget |
| Planet Fitness Black Card | $24.99 | $49 | About $350 | Travel, guests, spa |
| Crunch Fitness | $9.99-$34.99 | Up to $89 | About $210-$270 | Classes, variety |
| EōS Fitness | $9.99-$29.99 | $59.99 | About $180-$240 | Budget, amenities |
| Chuze Fitness | From $9.99 | $59.99 | About $180-$240 | Budget, recovery |
| Anytime Fitness | About $53 average | Varies | About $700+ | 24/7, travel |
| Gold’s Gym | $22.99-$50+ | $39-$59 | About $180-$770 | Serious lifting |
| 24 Hour Fitness | Not published | $69.99 | About $420-$770 | Classes, pools |
Crunch is the closest rival on price and the strongest rival on classes.
Its base plan starts at $9.99, and its higher tiers add group classes, HIIT, and hydro massage, which Planet Fitness does not offer at the same price.
Anytime Fitness costs about twice as much as Planet Fitness.
Its own published national average is about $53 a month, and its first year runs about $700 or more, but it offers 24/7 access at 5,800-plus gyms worldwide.
Gold’s Gym is the choice for serious lifters.
Its prices vary widely by franchise, from about $22.99 to $50 or more a month, and it offers free weights, racks, and a lifting culture that Planet Fitness deliberately avoids.
Planet Fitness wins on price, size, and beginner friendliness.
It is the largest chain by far, with about 20.8 million members according to the Health and Fitness Association’s 2026 Global Report, and it owns the judgement-free, low-cost position.
How to Pay Less at Planet Fitness
Seven steps cut the real cost of a Planet Fitness membership, and none of them requires a discount code. Follow them in order, and the first year costs less than the national figure.
1. Join during a $1-down promotion. Planet Fitness runs $1-down offers often, especially in January, summer, and back-to-school season, and the startup fee drops from up to $59 to $1.
2. Wait for the $10 Classic promotion. The company plans a limited-time $10 Classic offer nationwide, and members who join during it keep the $10 rate as a legacy-protected price.
3. Pick Classic unless you need Black Card perks. Classic saves $119.88 a year over Black Card, and the saving is real money if you never use the spa or bring a guest.
4. Share a Black Card with a friend. One Black Card at $24.99 a month covers you and one guest per visit, which is cheaper than two Classic memberships at $30 a month.
5. Use the free day pass before you join. The $0 one-day pass lets you test the club at your real training hours, so you do not pay for a gym you will not use.
6. Check your Medicare Advantage plan first. If your plan includes SilverSneakers or Silver&Fit, and your club participates, your membership may cost nothing.
7. Cancel before the annual fee date if you leave.
Cancel by the 25th of the month before your annual-fee month, and at least 7 to 8 days before the fee date, and you skip the $49 charge.
How to Cancel a Planet Fitness Membership
Cancelling is part of the real cost, and this guide keeps it short because the full guide exists separately.
The three channels are the online member portal, a visit to your home club, and certified mail.
Cancel by the 10th of the month to stop next month’s dues, because dues draft on the 17th. Cancel by the 25th of the month before your annual-fee month to skip the $49 fee.
If you end a 12-month minimum-term membership early, the $58 buyout applies. If you are past the term, or on a no-commitment plan, cancelling is free.
For the full portal steps, the certified-mail letter template, and the dispute walkthrough, read the companion guide on how to cancel a Planet Fitness membership online.
Key Takeaways
Planet Fitness costs $15 a month for Classic or $24.99 a month for Black Card, plus a $49 annual fee.
The first year is $229 for Classic or $348.88 for Black Card, before startup fees and taxes.
Your club’s price may differ. Bronx charges $37.99 for Black Card with no annual fee, Hampton Bays and Fishkill charge $29.99 with a $59 fee, and Seat Pleasant charges the national $24.99.
The $29.99 Black Card increase was announced, then paused. The national price is still $24.99 as of October 2026, while some clubs already charge $29.99 under regional price tests.
There is no student, senior, or military discount. The real free routes are the High School Summer Pass for teens 14 to 19 and SilverSneakers or Silver&Fit through Medicare Advantage.
The free day pass costs $0, and the paid day fee is not published. Do not trust any article that gives you a day-pass dollar figure, because Planet Fitness does not publish one.
Join during a $1-down offer, and wait for the $10 Classic promotion if you can. Those two moves cut the first-year cost more than any other choice you make.
At two visits a week, Classic costs about $2.20 per visit. That is the number that decides whether the membership is worth it, and it only works if you actually go.

Yes, with Black Card. A Black Card member can bring one guest per visit at no cost to the guest. Classic has no guest privilege.
How much is Planet Fitness for a couple?
One Black Card at $24.99 a month covers you and one guest per visit, which is cheaper than two Classic memberships at $30 a month. The annual fee is $49 either way.
What is the cheapest Planet Fitness membership?
Classic at $15 a month is the cheapest year-round plan. The cheapest way to join is Classic during a $1-down offer, or during the planned $10 Classic promotion.
Is Planet Fitness worth the money?
At two visits a week, Classic costs about $2.20 per visit, which beats every alternative.
It is not worth it if you never go, because $15 a month for zero visits is $180 a year for nothing.
What is included in the Classic membership?
Classic includes access to your home club, cardio machines, strength equipment, free fitness training, locker rooms, and showers. It does not include other clubs, guests, or spa perks.
What is included in the Black Card membership?
Black Card includes everything in Classic, plus any club worldwide, one guest per visit, tanning, massage chairs, HydroMassage, Total Body Enhancement, and 50% off select cooler drinks at participating clubs.
How much does it cost to cancel Planet Fitness?
Nothing, if you are past a 12-month minimum term or on a no-commitment plan. Ending a 12-month term early costs a $58 buyout fee. See the companion cancellation guide for the full steps.
Conclusion
How much is a Planet Fitness membership comes down to two numbers: $15 for Classic, $24.99 for Black Card, plus a $49 annual fee.
The first year is $229 or $348.88 before startup fees and taxes, and your club’s page is the only number that counts.
Check your club’s price before you join, wait for a $1-down offer if you can, and use the free day pass to test the club at your real training hours.
The cheapest gym is only cheap if you actually go.
Re-verify the prices on planetfitness.com and on your club’s page before you join. Prices vary by club, promotions change often, and the $29.99 Black Card increase could land at any time.
