West Columbia, SC (June 10) — Local Planet Fitness franchisee, Lev Management, has opened their eighth Midlands location on June 10th at 2410 Augusta Road in West Columbia. Planet Fitness is known for providing a high-quality experience at an exceptional value, where members enjoy a hassle-free, non-intimidating environment. The new facility spans nearly 26,000 square feet and will be open and staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The state-of-the-art fitness center features Matrix cardio machines and strength equipment, a 30-Minute Express Circuit, fully equipped locker rooms with day lockers and showers, numerous flat screen televisions, and free fitness training. The Black Card Spa area includes HydroMassage beds, massage chairs, a Red Light Recovery booth, and more. This location also offers European-style hybrid tanning and light therapy, the first of its kind in the Carolinas, as well as the newly released Cryo-Recovery Lounge.
“We’re thrilled to further expand our Judgement Free fitness experience in Columbia, and we encourage everyone to come check out the new club, meet our friendly staff, get a tour and see what the Judgement Free Zone is all about,” said Brian Bobenage of Lev Management. “At Planet Fitness, we believe everyone’s fitness is essential, both physically and mentally. We look forward to providing all that the Judgement Free Zone has to offer and becoming an integral part of the community for many years to come.”
Mr. Bobenage emphasized that the pandemic has underscored the importance of fitness for good health and improved illness outcomes. To ensure the safety of their members, all Lev Management Planet Fitness locations feature a state-of-the-art air purification system that eliminates viruses, bacteria, mold, and other contaminants from the air. Additionally, surface cleaning is continuously performed by staff during every shift. Members can be confident in a clean and comfortable environment to meet their fitness goals.
Planet Fitness offers two membership types. The Classic membership provides low-cost access to the home gym. The Black Card Membership includes benefits such as bringing a workout friend every day at no additional charge, access to over 2400+ fitness locations, and access to the Black Card Spa.
Furthermore, Planet Fitness has extended its judgement-free philosophy beyond its gyms with its national philanthropic initiative, “The Judgement Free Generation.” In collaboration with Boys and Girls Clubs of America, Planet Fitness aims to empower a generation of teens to grow up contributing to a more judgement-free planet. A ribbon-cutting event is planned for July, which will include a donation to the Boys and Girls Club of the Midlands.
In addition, on June 1st, Planet Fitness officially kicked off its High School Summer Pass program, allowing high schoolers aged 14-19 to work out for free this summer through August 31st.
