OWASSO, Okla. — Planet Fitness is holding a Valentine’s Day event where visitors can enjoy a free workout at its U.S. locations on Saturday and Sunday.
Visitors are encouraged to bring their spouses, significant others, friends or family to work out this weekend.
Along with a free workout, participants will be able to enjoy a massage chair or HydroMassage.
FOX23 spoke with a personal trainer at a local Planet Fitness about the upcoming event.
“Valentine’s Day is for couples and working out together really helps with accountability, keeps you motivated and people will achieve their goals faster if they have a partner to work out with,” said Jason Harrell, personal trainer at Planet Fitness in Owasso.
Harrell said this is Planet Fitness’s first year doing this event and hopes it will continue in the future if it is successful.
“I think we will, we like to have that metric of what’s working and what isn’t,” said Harrell. “Especially in this community, I have found that we already have a lot of couples anyway, but maybe that would trigger ‘Hey honey, let’s go do this together’ and find out how that works out.”
Harrell talked about how Planet Fitness is getting away from the conventional ‘beginner-only gym.’
“This is a brand new layout for Planet Fitness,” said Harrell. “It’s a more open concept. People are coming in here who have never been to a Planet Fitness and seeing everything that we have. All of the equipment that the traditional gym has, we have as well, and with the membership level that would fit them.”
