Becky Zirlen, senior director of communications for Planet Fitness, told The TRiiBE in an email on Sept. 16 that the closure only impacts the location on 47th Street. The gym “has terminated its relationship with the franchise owner,” the email read. No reason was given behind the stated landlord-tenant dispute. Zirlen didn’t share the exact date the gym closed.
Zirlen said that members would be able to transfer their membership and use a nearby Planet Fitness location for free until November 2024. The website currently states the “club is closed,” inviting members to use other nearby locations.
The owner of the Planet Fitness location could not immediately be reached. The phone number for the gym was disconnected upon calling.
