Planet Fitness Midtown

Planet Fitness Midtown, is located directly next to World On Wheels for a Planet and a World that is different from our own.

The Membership is as low as $10.00 per month with a down payment, members can download the app in the App Store or Google Play and there are illustrations of workouts and also a barcode to enter the gym, just in case you forget your keychain. They also offer what they call Pizza Monday and Bagel Tuesday’s, enjoy!
