FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / PRURGENT

COVINGTON, LA (February 13, 2018)— On February 8, Planet Fitness presented a $5,000 oversized check to the Boys and Girls Club of Southwest Louisiana to honor the official grand opening of its new Covington club, the 14th Louisiana location for franchisee Brandon Robinson.

The donation was given during an 11:00 a.m. ribbon cutting ceremony that took place at the new Planet Fitness club, located at 401 N US Hwy 190. The gift will benefit the Boys & Girls Club’s anti-bullying efforts, and represents Planet Fitness’ commitment to investing in the Covington area community through a number of goodwill initiatives.

“In supporting the Boys & Girls Club of Southeast Louisiana, and their anti-bullying efforts, our hope is to make the world a more judgement-free place one club at a time,” said Brandon Robinson, Franchise Partner.

Planet Fitness has recently been extending its judgement-free philosophy outside of its gym and into the community with its philanthropic initiative, “Judgement Free Generation™.” Together with the Boys & Girls Club of Southeast Louisiana, Planet Fitness aims to empower a generation of children and teens to grow up contributing to a more judgement-free planet—a place where everyone feels accepted and like they belong.

The Covington location is currently offering a deal until Thursday, February 15, for new memberships of just $5 down as an enrollment fee and dues starting at just $10 per month. The PF Black Card® membership, which is $21.99 a month, includes additional amenities such as the ability to bring a guest every day at no added charge, access to all of Planet Fitness’ more than 1,400 locations, as well as access to massage beds and chairs, and tanning, among other benefits*.
