Planet Fitness Wheaton (in Glenmont) Opening Slightly Delayed

Earlier this year we let you know that Planet Fitness announced it will be opening new locations at 6881 New Hampshire Ave. in Takoma Park and 2201 Randolph Rd. in Wheaton (Glenmont). The Takoma Park location has since opened, but the Glenmont location has had to slightly delay its opening from the originally scheduled day of December 20th.

We spoke with a representative from the Rockville location who let us know that due to a few construction delays, the opening has been slightly pushed back. While a new opening date isn’t yet available, the representative let us know that the gym should open by the end of the year (2023).

According to Planet Fitness,the location will offer “state-of-the-art cardio machines and strength equipment, a 30-Minute Express Circuit, fully equipped locker roomsand numerous flat screen televisions. They also will feature a PF Black Card®Spa area with HydroMassage beds, massage chairs, tanning, a RelaxSpace Wellness Pod (where members can relax, reset and focus on their mental health for up to 15 minutes) and a Recovery Lounge offering a multi-sensory experience combining hot, cold and compression therapy.”

Memberships, starting at $10/month for the Classic Card, include free fitness training led by a certified fitness trainer through the pe@pf® program. During a special pre-saleperiod, the PF Black Card® membership will be discounted to $19.99/month. It includes the ability to bring a guest every day at no additional charge, access to all 2,400+ Planet Fitness locations in all 50 states, and access to HydroMassage beds, massage chairs and tanning, among other benefits.

“We heard the community demand and are thrilled toincrease our presence in Montgomery County,” said C. Victor Brick, co-owner of Ohana Growth Partners. “We’ve experienced an outstanding response from the other clubs in the area and look forward to introducing two more Judgement Free facilities, where members can work out to improve their physical and mental health in a non-intimidating environment.”

Last year, Ohana relocated and doubled the size of Planet Fitness Rockville and completed $1.7million worth of renovations to both Planet Fitness Germantown and Planet Fitness Gaithersburg. Itsother Montgomery County clubs include Planet Fitness Silver Spring Southand Planet Fitness Silver Spring.
