Planet Fitness Workouts
Can I use the Planet Fitness Workouts app without a gym membership?
Yes, you can use a lot of the app for free, including a decent selection of exercises, progress tracking, and scheduling. Full personalized workout plans and certain video libraries are locked behind a Planet Fitness membership, but the free tier is solid for casual home workouts.
What kind of equipment do I need for the workouts in the app?
Most workouts require minimal equipment—the reviewer used just a yoga mat and water bottles as weights for a strength session. The app provides short video demos and written instructions, so you can easily adapt exercises with household items.
Why does the app sometimes lag when I switch between sections quickly?
The app can take a moment to load if you switch between sections quickly, as noted in real-world use. This isn't a dealbreaker, but if it happens, try waiting a second between taps or closing and reopening the app to refresh it.
How do I set workout reminders so I don't forget to exercise?
The app includes a reminder feature that lets you schedule workout alerts. You can set these up in the app's settings to ping you at your preferred time, which is especially helpful if you have a busy schedule with kids or other commitments.
How does Planet Fitness Workouts compare to other fitness apps like those charging $10–$15 per month?
Unlike many paid fitness apps that charge monthly fees just for basic features, Planet Fitness Workouts offers a generous free tier with exercise videos, tracking, and scheduling. For budget-conscious users, it provides solid value without a subscription, and the full experience unlocks with a Planet Fitness membership.
