Fitness and wellness are more popular than ever, with people of all ages embracing healthier lifestyles. Strength training, in particular, has become a key focus — not just for athletes but for anyone looking to improve overall health. Medical professionals are also encouraging strength-based workouts, especially for those using GLP-1 medications, as part of a well-rounded wellness plan.

Planet Fitness makes it simple to get started. With a welcoming, judgment-free atmosphere and a No Gymtimidation® philosophy, it’s a space where beginners and seasoned gym-goers alike can feel comfortable. Even better: All locations now offer even more plate-loaded strength equipment, making it easier than ever to build strength and confidence. Plus, you can take advantage of the benefits of recovery amenities in the Black Card Spa featuring HydroMassage™ beds, massage chairs, CyroLounge and Red Light Total Body recovery.

With nine locally owned locations across the Columbia Metro Area, there’s a Planet Fitness within 12 minutes of most residents.

Pro tip: You can join now for $1 down through April 16.
