PHILADELPHIA — The City of Philadelphia, in partnership with the School District of Philadelphia, teamed up with local Planet Fitness clubs ahead of the 2025 High School Summer Pass program. The initiative provides teenagers ages 14-19 with free access to any participating Planet Fitness gym in the U.S. and Canada from June 1 through August 31, 2025.*

“I am committed to ensuring our young people have the opportunities and resources they need to thrive year-round,” said Mayor L. Cherelle Parker. “The Planet Fitness High School Summer Pass program is about more than fitness. It’s about creating safe spaces where our teens can stay active, reduce stress, and build lifelong healthy habits. This partnership reflects our shared belief in the power of prevention, community, and investing in the future of Philadelphia’s youth.”

This program is designed to keep teens active, healthy, and safe over the summer months by providing access to judgment-free, inclusive fitness spaces throughout the city. While the city offers a wide range of enriching summer programs, the Planet Fitness High School Summer Pass Program adds another layer of support, providing teens free access to welcoming fitness spaces where they can stay active, care for their mental wellness, stay engaged, and connect with positive community resources.

“We are excited to collaborate with the City of Philadelphia and Planet Fitness to provide high school students with free access to any Planet Fitness club during the summer months,” said Tony B. Watlington, Sr., Ed.D., Superintendent for the School District of Philadelphia. “As we move forward with implementing Accelerate Philly, our five-year strategic plan, we will continue to prioritize the mental health and well-being of our students. We encourage them to take advantage of this opportunity and engage in physical activity over the summer.”

Now in its fifth year, this program is part of Planet Fitness’s national commitment to youth fitness and empowerment, and reflects a growing public-private partnership model aimed at enhancing community health.

“We’re proud to give teens a place to build lifelong healthy habits through our High School Summer Pass program because fitness is about more than strength; it’s about confidence, wellness, and opportunity,” said Franz Kindler, Chief of Staff at National Fitness Partners. “We’re especially excited to bring this opportunity to Philadelphia, a city that shares our commitment to youth development and wellness, and we’re honored to partner with Mayor Cherelle Parker and the School District of Philadelphia to help make a lasting impact on the lives of students across the city.”

Eligible teens can register online at planetfitness.com/summerpass or at any club location. Youth under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at sign-up.

*Teenagers ages 14 – 19 can visit any Planet Fitness location in the United States and Canada. Teens must work out at the location they signed up at and are not permitted to use other locations. Teens under 18 or the age of majority in the applicable jurisdiction must sign up with a parent or guardian in-club or online at PlanetFitness.com/SummerPass. Once the parent or guardian waiver is signed for teens under 18 or the age of majority in the applicable jurisdiction, teens can work out alone. Students who are already 18 or the age of majority in the applicable jurisdiction do not need a parent or guardian to be present during the sign-up process.
