Fraser Valley/Toronto – – Planet Fitnes is inviting high schoolers ages 14 – 19** to work out for free at any of its more than 50 Planet Fitness locations across Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick from May 16 through August 31 as part of the High School Summer Pass initiative.
This includes Abbotsford and Chilliwack.
High School Summer Pass was formally known as Teen Summer Challenge, which was the first program of its kind launched in 2019 and saw more than 900,000 teens sign-up and complete more than 5.5 million workouts over a three-and-a-half-month period across the U.S. and Canada.
According to Statistics Canada, one-third (37.2 per cent) of youth aged 12 to 17 met the Canadian Guidelines for Children and Youth physical activity recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to half (50.8 per cent) of youth pre-pandemic***.
High schoolers can visit PlanetFitness.ca/SummerPass to pre-register and get a reminder to formally sign up when the program officially kicks off on Monday, May 16. Teens under 18 must register with a parent or guardian online or in-club.
