Planet Fitness

About

Planet Fitness in Central Square is a Cambridge branch of the national gym chain known for low-cost memberships and its Judgement Free Zone philosophy. The brand built its identity around making gyms less intimidating for beginners and casual exercisers, with a relaxed atmosphere, cardio machines and strength equipment, and a policy against grunting and weight-dropping that it polices, partly in jest, with its Lunk Alarm.

The chain has grown to thousands of franchised clubs, making it one of the largest fitness brands in the United States. Its model keeps monthly fees low and the environment casual, offering straightforward access to equipment without the price of a high-end club. This location serves the area around Central Square, one of Cambridge’s busiest commercial districts, and is listed with the Central Square Business Improvement District.
