Planet Fitness- 30 Minute Workouts

It's time now for our Home for the Holidays segment. Staying healthy during this time may be difficult, so Planet Fitness has 30-minute workouts to help us all stay on track during this busy season. We're here with President of Connecticut Operations Joe Pepe and trainer Sam Miller. Thanks so much for joining me, you guys. Thank you. A little reporter involvement here today. I'm a busy mom. I'll take a workout wherever I can get it, right? So tell me how this time affects folks. You know, we're busy. We're shopping. We're cooking. We're running around. Not everyone gets in the workout. Exactly. It's a really tough time of the year for maybe staying fit. You know, you have a lot of family in town. You're running around, doing shopping, maybe eating not how you normally would eat. So that's why we offer a 30-minute express workout in all of our facilities, which basically is 20 machines, and it's in a separate area of the club, and it works off a stoplight. So you can come in at any time throughout the day, and you go from machine to machine. When the light's green, you work out. When it goes red, you move on to the next machine. And after 30 minutes, you're done with a total full body workout. So you're just trying to make it really convenient for everyone. Convenient and not make it really simple, easy to follow. Okay. Sam, you're an expert here. What are the kinds of things people do on this circuit? So like Joe said, that it's a full body workout. Yeah. So you start with a cardio exercise when the light turns green, and then you move on to your first strength exercise, and then you move around the room. There's steps involved, but you don't have to use the steps. So you can do other things to bring your heart rate up, such as alternating knees, lifting those knees up. Like that? Like that. If I can do it, anyone can, and that's the truth. We can do skaters side to side, which is popular with a lot, which is taking the toes and tapping it behind and going side to side. Okay. Yeah. So it's really just about moving. Just moving. Right? Yep. Moving, moving. So when the light turns green, you move, and then when light turns red, you get ready for your strength training. And we have abs, biceps, triceps, shoulders. We have back, chest, and then like exercises at the end. So it's an awesome, awesome format. And 30 minutes is really enough. 30 minutes, you're done. All right. Give me one more move here. How about jumping jacks? I can do jumping jacks. All right. Let's go. 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. I get the fancy hair bouncing, and then the workout goes. I like it. Oh, good. Thanks, Jo. Tell me kind of about the holiday specials, Joe, and you know, how those are easy on the wallet this time of year. Absolutely. So from December 1st through the end of the month, we're offering a $99 membership for an entire year. So no extra fees. It comes with this free fitness instruction that Sam and our other trainers lead. Obviously, that 30-minute express workout, just $99, no hidden fees. And for somebody like me, who's not like a fitness expert, kind of dips in, dips out, you guys pride yourself on having a judgment-free zone. Come in, figure it out, no one's judging. Exactly. Clean, comfortable, non-intimidating atmosphere. A place where you can really go at your own pace, feel comfortable, not judged in any way. And we make sure you really feel, you know, like where the machines are. We understand, you know, how to show you how to use those machines and make sure you really feel comfortable. Give me the website where viewers can learn more. Planetfitness.com. Okay, and Sam, leave us with one thought about what we should do during this busy season. I think it's really moving. Yes, yes. It's just keep moving during the holidays and stuff like that. Don't beat yourself up if you get off track. I mean, there's holidays, parties, and stuff like that out there. But the next day is a new day, so just get back on track. Head to Planet Fitness and get your workout in. At the mall, you can take the stairs instead of the elevator, right? Definitely, definitely. Always better. Park at the end of the parking lot. That's what my husband does for exercise. He always parks at the far end of the parking lot and walks into the stores. Well, thanks so much for joining us, you guys. Happy holidays. Appreciate it. Happy holidays to you.
