Planet Fitness

Planet Fitness maintains a strong presence in the Durham Region with accessible locations in Oshawa, Whitby, and Pickering, bringing its signature “Judgement Free Zone®” philosophy to the local community. Known for its affordable membership model—starting with the classic $10 option and scaling up to the premium “Black Card”—the chain appeals to first-time gym-goers and casual fitness enthusiasts by strictly avoiding “gymtimidation.” These clubs are typically open 24/7 (or 24/5 depending on the location) and feature rows of user-friendly cardio machines, strength circuits, and free weights. For Black Card members, the experience extends beyond the workout floor to the “Black Card Spa,” which offers amenities like HydroMassage beds, massage chairs, and Total Body Enhancement booths, providing a high-value recovery experience at a budget-friendly price point.
