Planet Fitness Workouts is designed for people who need practical guidance while exercising at home or learning how to use equipment in a gym. It combines on-demand digital workouts with tutorials, exercise videos, progress information, facility access tools, and selected Planet Fitness offers.
Choosing a workout for your current fitness needs
The on-demand workout library is intended for individuals at different stages of their fitness journey. Users can select a workout and follow instructions from home rather than relying on a visit to a gym or a hired trainer. The source describes the workouts as free and says they are created by professional trainers.
Home sessions can be completed with available exercise equipment such as dumbbells or a pull-up bar. When those items are not available, the source says users may use similar items provided they are safe for exercise. This makes the workout library relevant both to people with basic equipment and to those following body-focused routines.
Learning exercises and gym equipment
For someone who is unfamiliar with a machine or unsure how to perform an exercise, the app provides tutorials and videos with demonstrations. The examples in the source include guidance for using a shoulder press and exercises aimed at strengthening the hamstrings.
These demonstrations connect the exercise itself with instructions for using gym equipment. That can help beginners understand what a movement involves before attempting it, while also giving gym members a reference for working through a planned routine.
Following progress through a planned routine
The app can start with a pre-planned workout program and retain information about exercise activity. The source identifies exercise time, exercise type, and calories consumed and burned among the information recorded.
This information is presented in the “My Journey” tab, where users can review an analysis of their progress. The app may also provide advice and adjustments when someone has moved away from their planned path. This section therefore brings workout activity and progress information together rather than leaving each session as an isolated task.
Joining live training sessions
In addition to recorded workouts and tutorials, Planet Fitness Workouts supports live training sessions. Users can participate in real-time workouts through the app, and alerts can be set to provide notifications before a session begins.
The live-session option serves a different purpose from the on-demand library: it gives users a scheduled training opportunity, while the library is available for choosing a workout according to the user's own timing. Both formats are described as ways to stay engaged with exercise.
Using gym access and member benefits
The app can be used with Planet Fitness gym facilities by members who need to enter with their phone. The source also states that a gym membership is not required to use the app, so access to the digital workout material and access to member facilities are separate aspects of the service.
Users can find exclusive discounts and discount coupons through the app. The source also describes benefits connected with Planet Fitness membership, including offers related to clothing, food, and travel services from certain brands. Referring a friend through the app may provide rewards, and the source mentions a one-month free use of Planet Fitness services as a referral incentive.
