Planet Fitness Laurel Undergoes $905K+ Renovation

TIMONIUM, Md. (Aug. 20, 2024) Planet Fitness – one of the nation’s largest and fastest-growing franchisors and operators of fitness centers with more members than any other fitness brand – has completed over $905 thousand worth of renovations at its Laurel, Md. location (9644 Fort Meade Rd., Laurel, MD, 20707).

The 21,000-square-foot club originally opened in November 2013, and recently underwent an eight-week makeover. An updated Black Card Spa® area features new tanning beds, HydroMassage lounger, massage chairs, red light therapy booth and a Recovery Lounge – which offers a multi-sensory experience combining hot, cold and compression therapy to help members relieve pain, recover and improve circulation.

Additional improvements include new TVs, interior and exterior signage, lobby and Black Card Spa® tiles, rubber flooring, wallcovering and paint throughout.

To celebrate its “grand reopening,” the club is offering membership specials – join with $1 down for the Classic Card membership – which includes free fitness training led by a certified fitness trainer through the pe@pf® program – or the PF Black Card® membership – which includes the ability to bring a guest every day at no additional charge, access to all 2,600+ Planet Fitness locations in all 50 states and access to the Black Card Spa® area, among other benefits. (Offer good through Sept. 13 through 30.)

“We are committed to reinvesting in the Laurel community and are thrilled to showcase our new amenities to our existing and soon-to-be members,” said Justin Drummond, president of Ohana Growth Partners (OGP), one of the largest franchise divisions of Planet Fitness. “Already, we’ve experienced an outstanding response from the community and encourage everyone to come check out the club, meet our friendly staff, get a tour and see what the Judgement Free Zone® is all about.”

Open and staffed 24/7, Planet Fitness Laurel features state-of-the-art cardio machines and strength equipment, 30-Minute Express Circuit, fully equipped locker rooms with day lockers and showers, numerous flat screen televisions, and more in a hassle-free, non-intimidating environment.
