They will also have 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 hot, cold, and compression therapy.
Memberships, which start at $10/month for the Classic Card, include free fitness training led by a certified fitness trainer through the pe@pf program. During a special pre-sale period, the PF Black Card membership will be discounted to $19.99/month.

“We heard the community demand and are thrilled to increase our presence in Montgomery County,” said C. Victor Brick, co-owner of Ohana Growth Partners. “We’ve experienced an outstanding response from the other clubs in the area and look forward to introducing two more Judgement Free facilities, where members can work out to improve their physical and mental health in a non-intimidating environment.”
The area is home to more than 20 Planet Fitness gyms, with one opening in downtown Silver Spring in 2017. Ohana Growth Partners, headquartered in Timonium, owns and operates 75 Planet Fitness health clubs in Maryland, the District of Columbia, Tennessee, Florida, Washington, and California, according to its LinkedIn page.
