Step-by-Step Proof: How to Invite a Guest on the Planet Fitness App
By Alexander Ross
Planet Fitness structures its tier pricing around clear financial tradeoffs. The basic Classic tier costs roughly $15 monthly with access confined to a single gym. The Black Card sits at approximately $24.99 to $29.99 monthly, plus annual maintenance fees.
For couples, roommates, or routine gym partners, a single Black Card easily outperforms two individual Classic memberships. Two Classic memberships cost roughly $30 monthly plus double annual enrollment and maintenance fees, which often run between $49 and $59 per person every year. That totals over $450 annually across two basic accounts.
A single Black Card split between two regular training partners reduces the collective cost to around $360 annually, saving roughly $100 to $150 each year. The only tradeoff: the companion cannot train solo. If your schedules align reliably, the shared pass provides significant value.
