If a person is 14 years old or younger, who must be present when they work out?

When individuals who are 14 years old or younger work out at Planet Fitness, a parent or guardian must be present. This requirement serves several important purposes. Firstly, it ensures the safety and well-being of younger members, as they may need assistance or supervision to navigate exercises, equipment, and safety protocols effectively. Having a parent or guardian present helps promote a responsible fitness environment where appropriate guidance can be provided.

Moreover, this protocol reinforces the commitment of Planet Fitness to creating a family-friendly atmosphere. It acknowledges the importance of parental involvement in promoting healthy habits among youth and encourages family bonding through fitness activities.

Choosing a coach or trainer, a fellow gym member, or allowing the young person to work out alone does not fulfill the requirements for supervision. These options might not guarantee the same level of protection, guidance, or accountability that a parent or guardian provides.
