Is Planet Fitness worth it in 2026?

Planet Fitness keeps charging long after people stop going, and cancellation often requires a visit or a letter. At roughly $210 a year, whether Planet Fitness is worth it comes down to one question: do you actually use it?

Worth it if…
  • You use it most weeks.
  • It's your only service in this category.
  • The value clearly beats the $210/yr.
Cancel it if…
  • You can't recall the last time you used it.
  • You also pay for LA Fitness or Planet Fitness Black Card.
  • It started as a free trial you forgot about.
Before you commit $210/yr

Planet Fitness's own FAQ states cancellation only stops future billing after processing (up to 7 business days) and requires a $58 buyout fee to end a membership early if it has a minimum contract term; the vendor's current page does not explicitly state whether dues or the annual fee already charged are refundable.
