Looking to get financially fitter, Planet Fitness, one of the largest and fastest-growing franchisors and operators of fitness centers in the US, went public in 2015. Its judgement-free approach to fitness and exceptional value proposition (it offers a wide choice of equipment and low membership fees) has enabled it to grow revenues to $279.8 million in 2014 and to become an industry leader with $1.2 billion in system-wide sales. That year Planet Fitness had more than 7.1 million members and 976 stores in 47 US states, Puerto Rico, and Canada. In June 2015 it opened its 1,000th store. The company is controlled by investor TGS Funds.
