Planet Fitness charges an annual fee, but does it waive it?

The start of the month means a lot to people who pay their own bills.For a lot of people, it is the day where all of our bills are due.We have to pay rent, car insurance, and Planet Fitness charges for a lot of people.The people were upset and asked, "Why did Planet Fitness charge me $39?"The answer got people excited.

According to the FAQ page of Planet Fitness, there is an annual fee of $39 that goes towards club maintenance and upkeep.The time of the year when this fee is due is July 1, 2020.The charge is usually a surprise to most people, but this year it has caused a huge uproar on social media.

As a result of the worldwide Pandemic, many businesses were forced to close as we were urged to distance ourselves.During that time, gym-goers were not charged their fees, according to the Planet Fitness FAQ page.

"While our locations are currently closed, we have frozen all memberships on your behalf," the customer service page reads.Fees will not be charged until the club reopens.If you want to cancel your membership, you can send a certified letter to your club.If you have questions about your membership, please contact our member services department.

People had no idea why their gym's $39 was removed from their bank account on July 1st.Everyone who didn't pay their membership fees was charged $39.Why?There was no warning that the company would be charging people.

Planet Fitness has reached out to Distractify to clarify that members were notified about their annual fee.

If a member's annual fee date was going to change, all members with an email on file were notified in advance of the club reopening.

The annual fee is a one-time fee according to the membership agreement.Unlike monthly membership dues, it is not based on the number of days open and is a maintenance fee.

The annual fee is not deferred during a membership freeze according to the official account.You will have to pay your annual fee by the original date.If you have questions about billing, please contact your club directly.

It's wrong to take membership fees when people are not going to the gym.I canCEL it because I didn't notice the money came out last month.

We are still waiting for a response from you all.You have the nerve to charge membership renewals in full even though people are staying home because of the Pandemic?Many of your customers tried to cancel on your website.Please reply.

With no one answering the phones and their local gym closing, it was impossible to get a hold of anyone to cancel their memberships.

Hey, Jordan!The annual fee goes towards club maintenance and upkeep.The signed membership agreement has information on this.If you have questions about billing, please contact your club.Thank you!Hayley.

3 months ago, I tried to call PlanetFitness to cancel.I was unable to cancel over the phone, so I had to go to the gym and pay a membership fee.You are not doing right by the customers, please fix it!A person wrote.

3 months ago, honestly, I tried to call PlanetFitness to cancel.I was unable to cancel over the phone, so I had to go to the gym and pay a membership fee.You are not doing right by the customers.

When I'm not working, you will charge me an annual fee.You guys closed for 3 or 4 months.What is wrong with America today?You can say "shame" on all of them.

Planet fitness will charge $42 like we were closed last month.

According to CBS News, on June 29, over 200 gym goers were exposed to COVID-19 after someone attended the gym without realizing they had the virus.

The gym is expected to reopen on Tuesday at 6 a.m., according to CBS.A third party cleaning crew will clean the facilities before they reopen.

Our Morgantown location has been closed for an additional deep cleaning out of an abundance of caution.

It does not give people a lot of confidence that even if Planet Fitness is open, it is safe to do so.Customers want the gym company to return all the yearly fees taken from their bank accounts.It would be easier for them to cancel.
