Planet Fitness Black Card® Guest Policy
The PF Black Card® membership includes the perk of bringing a guest every time you work out. However, there are age stipulations for these guests:
- Guests must be 18 years old with a valid ID if they are entering the club unaccompanied by a parent or guardian.
- Minors (under 18) can be guests, but they must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the duration of their visit. This ensures that younger guests have adult supervision while utilizing the club's facilities.
Important Considerations for Minors
- Parental Involvement: For all members under 18, parental consent and/or accompaniment are key requirements. This underscores Planet Fitness's commitment to the safety and well-being of its younger patrons.
- Waivers: If you are between 15 and 17 years old, ensure your parent or guardian completes and signs the necessary waiver before you begin your fitness journey at Planet Fitness.
- Accompaniment: For 13 and 14-year-old members, a parent or guardian must be present during their workouts. Similarly, any minor entering as a PF Black Card® guest must also be accompanied by an adult.
Understanding these age guidelines ensures a smooth and compliant experience when joining or visiting Planet Fitness.
