Does Planet Fitness have a sauna?

Ready to turn up the heat?  Like others, you've discovered the immense benefits of a sauna. You love the hot hot heat, and the way it draw toxins and impurities from your skin. We are on the same vibe my friend: that fresh out of the sauna' feeling is purely addictive!

Here at gymscompared.com, people are always asking us if a certain gym has a sauna. And we can clearly see why it makes sense: Folks are either warming up muscles before their workouts, or relaxing sore ones once their session is complete. Bottom line: the sauna is a key amenity to help achieve your fitness goals.

More and more gyms across the country have added a sauna (or two!) for their members—and we've done all the research for you.

Tell me more about saunas at Planet Fitness!

Nope. No sauna at Planet Fitness locations. And we've done our homework: we checked every single web page of theirs, and connected with customer care. Thumbed through Facebook and Instagram pages, too. 

This is a big deal: Planet Fitness is one of the largest gym chains in the country (over 2,000) locations. You've probably also seen their ads and logo plastered across New Years Eve celebrations as well. They likely have a club (or three!) nearby to you. Unfortunately, no Planet Fitness locations have a sauna.

Why don't they have saunas?

We have some pretty good ideas to why they don't:

  • No space! Planet Fitness clubs are on the smaller side: less than 20,000 square feet for the majority of their locations. They decided to use these areas for "traditional gym equipment" such as free-weights, machines and cardio equipment.
  • Not part of their core offering. Planet Fitness focuses on the all night all day availability of a workout: specifically their cardio and strength offerings. Sauna isn't part of that (as well as steam, pool, basketball and more).
  • Would drive up the membership price. With some Planet Fitness gyms offering a $9.99 monthly membership, adding a sauna would definitely increase that price. 

Will Planet Fitness have saunas in the future?

We don't think so. Adding saunas to existing Planet Fitness clubs would require significant building, resource and operational changes—in addition to raising prices. Unless they open brand new locations, we don't think saunas are coming anytime soon. 

Closing thoughts

No saunas at Planet Fitness, sorry folks. From what we gathered, we don't think it's coming in the future either.
