Planet Fitness Opens in Downtown State College

Planet Fitness in downtown State College has opened its doors to the public.

The gym is located at the Fraser Centre, 118 S. Fraser St., in the former location of H&M, which closed in the summer of 2021. It’s the fitness club’s second Centre Region location, joining one other that opened at the Nittany Mall in 2014 and added an 8,200-square-foot expansion in 2019.

The facility is open 24 hours a day Monday through Thursday, midnight to 9 p.m. on Friday and 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday

Planet Fitness is one of the largest fitness club franchises in the nation with more than 2,000 clubs throughout the country. It markets itself as an affordable gym that fosters a welcoming, non-intimidating environment.

For $10 a month, members have unlimited access to the facility and free fitness training. For $24.99 a month, members have additional access to tanning, massage chairs, use of any Planet Fitness facility in the world, HydroMassages, unlimited guest visits and more. These offers expire on Aug. 28.

The gym is also giving away free day passes for those who stop by the new location today.

A virtual tour of the facility is available on Planet Fitness’ website. It includes four weight racks, more than 20 treadmills and two rows of cycling machines, among other amenities.

The Fraser Street Planet Fitness webpage also includes a “crowd meter” that shows how busy the gym is at certain times of the day.
