Planet Fitness, the health club franchise known for its “Judgement Free Zone” extended its inclusive philosophy outside of its gyms with the unveiling of the nation’s first mini Planet Fitness gym housed within a Boys & Girls Club.
The new fitness facility was built in the Boys & Girls Club of Manchester, NH and will provide nearly 1,700 kids and teens the ability to work out and learn how to live a healthier lifestyle, and most importantly, do so without being judged or bullied.
The center was unveiled on September 6 – the first day of school locally in New Hampshire – with Boys & Girls Club of Manchester staff, Club kids and teens, Planet Fitness representatives and Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas.
The brand’s signature purple and yellow colors and branded equipment give the look and feel of other Planet Fitness clubs throughout the country.
The inaugural unveiling is part of the company’s national philanthropic initiative, The Judgement Free Generation, which launched in March with a $1.3M commitment to Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Stomp Out Bullying to fund pro-kindness and anti-bullying programs nationwide.
The movement is designed to combat the bullying faced by teens and empower a generation of teens to choose kindness and accept and respect one another
