Description: PLNT Planet Fitness January 06, 2026
Planet Fitness Inc. (NYSE: PLNT) operates a low-cost gym franchise network under three segments: Franchise, Corporate-Owned Clubs, and Equipment. The franchise model spans the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Panama, Mexico, and Australia, while corporate-owned locations are concentrated in the United States, Canada, and Spain. The Equipment segment supplies fitness gear to franchisees in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Founded in 1992, the company is headquartered in Hampton, New Hampshire.
Key performance indicators from the most recent quarter show a membership base exceeding 15 million members and a same-store revenue growth of roughly 5 % YoY, reflecting the brand’s resilience amid inflation-sensitive discretionary spending. EBITDA margins have hovered near 30 %, driven by the asset-light franchise model and modest capital expenditures for new club openings. A primary economic driver is the continued consumer shift toward affordable, high-volume fitness solutions, which positions Planet Fitness to benefit from both population growth and rising health-consciousness trends.
