TIMONIUM, Md. (June 26, 2023) – Planet Fitness – one of the nation’s largest and fastest-growing franchisors and operators of fitness centers with more members than any other fitness brand –is expanding in Montgomery County.
Ohana Growth Partners, a franchise division of Planet Fitness, will open two locations:
- Planet Fitness Takoma Park: a 28,782-square-foot space in the Takoma Park Shopping Center (6881 New Hampshire Ave., Takoma Park, MD 20912), and

Construction will soon commence, with club openings anticipated by year end.
Both locations will offer state-of-the-art cardio machines and strength equipment, a 30-Minute Express Circuit, fully equipped locker rooms and numerous flat screen televisions. They also will feature a PF Black Card® Spa area with HydroMassage beds, massage chairs, tanning, a RelaxSpace Wellness Pod (where members can relax, reset and focus on their mental health for up to 15 minutes) and a Recovery Lounge offering a multi-sensory experience combining hot, cold and compression therapy.
Memberships, starting at $10/month for the Classic Card, include free fitness training led by a certified fitness trainer through the pe@pf® program.
