Get Moving This Summer with Planet Fitness’ High School Summer Pass! 2025

Hey everyone! Summer’s almost here, and I’m pumped to share something awesome for all the teens out there looking to stay active and feel great.

Who else feels like summer can be a total slump when it comes to staying fit? I know I did back in high school—spending way too much time on my phone, scrolling through social media, or binge-playing video games.

But this year, Planet Fitness is bringing back their High School Summer Pass for 2025, and it’s a game-changer for teens aged 14-19! I wish I had this when I was younger, so let’s talk about why this program is worth checking out and how it can help us (or our kids) make this summer count.

If you haven’t heard, Planet Fitness is offering free gym access from June 1 to August 31 at over 2,700 locations across the U.S. and Canada. That’s right—FREE! No membership fees, no hidden costs, just a chance to hit the gym and feel good.

I remember feeling so intimidated by gyms as a teen, thinking they were only for super-fit people.

But Planet Fitness’ “Judgement Free Zone” vibe makes it welcoming for everyone, whether you’re lifting weights for the first time or already a gym regular. You can sign up starting May 19 at PlanetFitness.com/SummerPass. Teens under 18 need a parent or guardian to sign a waiver, but after that, you’re free to work out solo.

You just have to stick to the location you register at—no hopping between clubs.

Why does this matter? Well, Planet Fitness dropped some eye-opening stats from a study they did. About 66% of parents are worried about their teen’s mental health, and 72% say exercise can help. I totally get this—when I started working out in my late teens, it was like a fog lifted. I felt happier, less stressed, and more confident.

Their study also found that 90% of teens feel happier after exercising, and 88% notice a better mood. But here’s the kicker: 50% of teens say their fitness takes a nosedive during summer break.

I can relate—without school sports or gym class, it’s easy to get lazy. And with 81% of teens admitting they’re glued to screens all day, this pass is a perfect way to break that cycle.

What do you get with the Summer Pass? Tons! You’ll have access to all their equipment—think cardio machines, weights, and even new plate-loaded machines.

There’s also free training from certified trainers, which is huge for beginners.

I remember how clueless I was about using gym equipment, and having someone guide me would’ve been a lifesaver.

Plus, they’ve got teen-specific workout plans to keep things safe and effective, and the Planet Fitness app has tons of on-demand workouts you can follow.

The best part? It’s all in a chill, non-intimidating environment. No one’s judging you for being new or not knowing what you’re doing.

I love that Planet Fitness teamed up with Stephen Nedoroscik, that U.S. gymnast who’s a two-time Olympic medalist. He’s all about how fitness builds not just your body but your confidence and focus.

His story reminds me of when I started running to clear my head—it wasn’t about being the best, but about feeling stronger inside and out.

Since 2019, Planet Fitness has waived over $300 million in membership fees for this program, helping 10 million teens get active.

That’s huge!

So, whether you’re a teen looking to try something new, a parent wanting to keep your kid off the couch, or just someone curious about fitness, this is your chance. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Drop your thoughts below and let’s inspire each other to make this summer the healthiest yet!

Yo, this is awesome! I’m 16 and signed up for the Summer Pass last year. Honestly, I was nervous at first—gyms can feel intense! But Planet Fitness was super chill.

The trainers helped me figure out the treadmill and some weights, and I ended up going three times a week. It was cool to feel stronger and not so stressed about school stuff. I’m definitely signing up again for 2025.

Anyone else tried it? What’s your favorite thing to do at the gym? Thanks for sharing this, it’s gonna help a lot of people!

This is such a great opportunity! My daughter used the High School Summer Pass last summer, and it was a lifesaver. She’s 15 and usually spends summer glued to her phone, but this got her out of the house.

She loved the vibe at Planet Fitness—no one made her feel out of place. I noticed she was happier and even slept better. I’m telling all my mom friends about this for 2025. Has anyone else seen a big change in their teen’s mood from working out?

Love this post! I’m 19 and used the Summer Pass a couple of years ago when I was still in high school. It got me hooked on fitness! The app workouts were my favorite—I’d follow the teen plans and mix in some stretching. It’s cool they’re still doing this in 2025.

My tip: bring a water bottle and headphones to make it fun. Anyone planning to try the cardio machines? They’re super easy to start with. Let’s keep this thread going!

Wow, I wish I had this when I was a teen! I’m a parent now, and my son is 14. He’s shy and not big on sports, but I think this could be perfect for him.

I love that it’s free and has trainers to help. I’m worried about him spending all summer gaming, so this sounds like a great way to get him moving. Any tips for convincing a shy teen to try the gym? Thanks for the heads-up—this forum is awesome for stuff like this!

This is so cool! I’m 17 and never been to a gym, but I’m thinking about signing up for the 2025 pass. I get kinda anxious about working out in front of people, but the “Judgement Free Zone” thing sounds nice. I want to feel better and maybe make some friends at the gym.

Anyone else nervous about starting? What’s it like at Planet Fitness?

Thanks for posting this, it’s super helpful!

Wow, this post is so helpful! I’m 18 and totally want to try the Planet Fitness Summer Pass 2025—free gym access sounds like a steal! I’ve been looking for ways to stay active this summer instead of just chilling at home with my phone. The “Judgement Free Zone” thing makes me feel less nervous about starting.

I’ve got a quick question, though: is Planet Fitness open on Juneteenth? I know it’s a federal holiday on June 19, and I want to plan my workouts around it.

I heard some gyms close or have weird hours on holidays, so I’m curious if anyone knows about Planet Fitness Juneteenth hours.

Thanks for sharing this awesome info! I’m loving this forum already—hope to hear from y’all soon!

Hey Borld19648190, great question! I saw your post about is Planet Fitness open on Juneteenth, and I checked it out for you.

According to a reliable source, most Planet Fitness Juneteenth hours are awesome—they’re open 24 hours on June 19, 2025! Planet Fitness is all about inclusivity and wants everyone to have a chance to work out on this important day.

I’m 19 and used the Summer Pass last year, and I love how they keep the gym open on most holidays.

Just double-check with your local gym, since some locations might vary. I usually call or check the Planet Fitness app to be sure.

This program is so cool for teens like us—hope you join! Thanks for the post, OP, it’s getting me hyped for summer workouts.

Anyone else planning their Summer Planet Fitness routine?
