For those who prefer to pay upfront rather than monthly, Planet Fitness offers prepaid options, and here’s what you need to know:
- Prepaid Membership: Planet Fitness offers a prepaid membership option, often referred to as a “Paid in Full” membership, which can cost around $199 for a year for the Classic membership. This is potentially a cost-saving option compared to paying monthly at $15/month for 12 months ($180) plus a $49 annual fee, totaling $229. The prepaid option at $199 offers a discount of about $30, though exact pricing may vary by location.
- Payment Options: Members typically pay via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) from a checking account, which is the preferred method for convenience and continuity. Some clubs may accept credit card payments, but this can vary, so it’s best to confirm with your local gym.
Always check with your local Planet Fitness club for the latest details on prepaid memberships and payment methods to ensure you get the best deal.
