The school year is nearing its end for most students, meaning more free time and pent-up energy. Luckily for them, Planet Fitness is once again kicking off its High School Summer Pass program, offering free memberships for teens across the country.

Here’s what Illinois parents should know about the program, including who is eligible and how to enroll.

When does Planet Fitness’ High School Summer Pass start?

How to sign up for 2025 Planet Fitness High School Summer Pass

You can sign up by pre-registering for the summer pass program online. Teens under the age of 18 will need their parent or legal guardian to sign a waiver.

Parents can also sign their teen up for the program in person at any Planet Fitness location. After the waiver is signed, teens are able to work out independently.

High School Summer Pass comes with scholarship opportunity

Those who sign up for a summer pass can enter the Planet Fitness High School Summer Pass Contest for a chance to win scholarship money. 

To enter, students can submit a video that details their experience during the program by uploading it to TikTok and tagging @planetfitness using the hashtags #HSSP23US and #contest. Planet Fitness will award 10 students a $10,000 scholarship each.

Can parents and their teens work out together at Planet Fitness?

Yes, if they have a Planet Fitness membership, the company said. The free program is available only to teens.

Do you need the Planet Fitness App?

Yes, you need to download the Planet Fitness app through the Apple App Store or Google Play to participate in the program.

Parents or teens will have to create an account with the same email used to sign up for the High School Summer Pass. On June 1, the pass will automatically link to the account.

Can participants sign up for any fitness classes?

All participants will have access to the free fitness classes offered through the Planet Fitness PE@PF program.
