my new fitness plan {get a membership to planet fitness for $10 a month!}

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Planet Fitness. I received a membership to Planet Fitness to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. #MC #PlanetFitness

As a former classical ballet dancer and ballet instructor, I’ve been a little bit spoiled in my fitness routine. Growing up in a dance studio allowed me to exercise and improve my fitness levels while being surrounded by great music, supportive friends, and talented faculty members. Even when I was training at a professional level, it was never hard for me to maintain the motivation to go to class because it was a fun, supportive, and non-intimidating atmosphere. While I feel so blessed to have received phenomenal training, my dance background has made exercising as an adult incredibly disappointing. I remember the first time I went to a gym with the intention of buying an annual membership. The facilities and equipment were outdated and in less-than-stellar condition, and the clients seemed a little on the intense side. I wanted to go to the free weights station, but I stuck to my cardio machine because I didn’t want to have to squeeze in between a bunch of competitive body builders to grab the 10 pound weights. My visit lasted a total of twenty minutes, and I did not buy a membership. Thankfully, I think I’ve finally found a health club that is the perfect fit: Planet Fitness.

Planet Fitness has a goal to make everyone feel comfortable when they’re first joining a health  club. They celebrate the idea that people are trying to get healthier at their facilities, so they don’t judge how or why you go about it.  I LOVE this philosophy.  Starting tomorrow, I will be working towards my health and fitness goals at Planet Fitness, and I couldn’t be more excited. After searching high and low for my ideal health club, I couldn’t believe that Planet Fitness offered all of the items on my checklist: affordable membership rates, stellar facilities, and a non-competitive atmosphere.

If you’re looking for a new health club, now is the perfect time to get started. Planet Fitness is launching a national 10-day membership sale at participating locations nationwide from October 1-10 in honor of October 10th (10/10) and the start of the fall season! Head to Planet Fitness by October 10th, and you can join the health club for only $10 down with a $10 monthly payment and no commitment! I’m not sure if the ridiculously low monthly rate or the awesome facilities is the best part of this offer, but seriously- you’re not going to find a better deal than this one! After seeing their amazing facilities and unbeatable rates, it’s completely understandable why Planet Fitness is the fastest-growing full-size health club franchise in the country.

Here a few of the Planet Fitness perks that I’m most excited about:

• Access to their top-notch facilities including: high-quality cardio and strength training equipment, fully equipped locker rooms with day lockers and showers, and flat screen TVs. Most clubs also include a 30-minute express circuit and 12 minute ab circuit.
• Unlimited fitness instruction with all memberships.
• As a little reward for working out, Planet Fitness offers free pizza on the first Monday of the month and free bagels on the second Tuesday of the month for their members!
• Non-intimidating atmosphere and Judgement Free Zone

It’s hard enough for me to get myself to go work out, so it’s extremely important that I like the atmosphere of my health club. It’s so nice to know that I can workout in the Planet Fitness Judgment Free Zone at my own pace with my own exercise style. Instead of judging each other for choosing a different way/intensity level to exercise or a different diet to follow, let’s support each others’ health and fitness journeys.

Unlike previous years, I’m not going to wait until January to start my new health and fitness regimen. I’m planning on starting my new routine right now in preparation for the holidays and continue into the New Year! The Planet Fitness October Promotion is such an amazing deal that there’s no reason to wait. It’s basically like getting access to a gym for 33 cents a day. You’ll feel better for the craziness that is the fall/winter holidays, and you’ll look better for all of your holiday photos!

 I’m making a personal goal to head to my local Planet Fitness health club at least four times a week for at least an hour.  I’m aiming to improve my cardio level and bump up my strength by January! Of course, I’d like to lose a few pounds, but I’m honestly more concerned with how my jeans fit than a number on a scale! My Planet Fitness Black Card membership is definitely going to help me achieve these goals, and I couldn’t be more excited to  get started!

So who’s with me? I’d love to have a few online workout buddies to stay motivated with!
