The newly-opened Planet Fitness location in Toronto at the Galleria Mall (1245 Dupont Street) is receiving an overwhelming response from Canadians looking for a high-quality, non-intimidating gym experience at an unparalleled value. The new 20,000 sq. ft. health club is open 24 hours per day, features brand name cardio and strength equipment, and offers unlimited small group fitness instruction through the pe @ pf® program.
The gym's winning formula includes unbeatable prices, with memberships available for only $10 or $19.99 a month; a non-intimidating Judgement Free Zone®, and no pushy sales people or personal trainers. To further set itself apart, Planet Fitness also offers free pizza and bagels to members once a month as a membership appreciation gesture, while supplies last.
"We're thrilled to have already received such a great response from Canadians," said Chris Rondeau, CEO of Planet Fitness. "We couldn't have imagined a warmer welcome from our friends north of the border."
The Toronto club launch will be followed by a second Canadian location opening in Brampton in Q1 2015. The company also has its franchising process well underway. To date, the brand has received interest from more than 10 franchise groups to purchase nearly 200 clubs across eight provinces coast to coast.
