When is the annual fee applied for a Planet Fitness membership?

The annual fee for a Planet Fitness membership is applied on the first of the month two months after a member joins. This structure is designed to allow new members some time to enjoy their fitness journey without the immediate burden of an annual fee. Typically, when someone signs up, they might not have to worry about this charge until they have had a couple of months to settle in and fully utilize their membership. Therefore, it’s an incentive for new members to get acclimated and start benefiting from the gym before having to deal with additional costs.

Other options suggest the fee could be charged at different times, such as at enrollment or shortly after joining. However, the policy is set to ensure that members first experience the gym's offerings before that fee is enforced. This timing also usually aligns with billing cycles for many gyms, providing a more streamlined process for members.
