Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by us, contain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “envision,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “goal,” “plan,” “prospect,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “assumption,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “contemplate,” “future,” “strategy” and the negative thereof and similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements include these identifying words. Forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding:
•our future financial position;
•business strategy;
•budgets, projected costs and plans;
•future industry growth;
•financing sources;
•potential return of capital initiatives;
•the impact of litigation, government inquiries and investigations; and
•all other statements regarding our intent, plans, beliefs or expectations that do not relate solely to historical facts.
These forward-looking statements are not assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of the business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements and should be evaluated as such. Important factors that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, risks and uncertainties associated with the following:
•Our success depends substantially on the value of our brand, which could be materially and adversely affected by the high level of competition in the health and fitness industry, our ability to anticipate and satisfy consumer preferences, shifting views of health and fitness and our ability to obtain and retain high-profile strategic partnership arrangements.
•Our and our franchisees’ clubs may be unable to attract and retain members, which would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
•Our intellectual property rights, including trademarks, trade names, copyrights and trade dress, may be infringed, misappropriated or challenged by others.
•We and our franchisees rely heavily on information systems, including the use of email marketing, mobile application and social media, and any material failure, interruption or weakness may prevent us from effectively operating our business, damage our reputation or subject us to potential fines or other penalties.
•If we fail to properly maintain the confidentiality and integrity of our data, including member credit card, debit card, bank account information and other personally identifiable information, our reputation and business could be materially and adversely affected.
•The occurrence of cyber incidents, or a deficiency in cybersecurity, could negatively impact our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of confidential information, and/or damage to our employee and business relationships and reputation, all of which could harm our brand and our business.
•If we fail to successfully implement our growth strategy, which includes new club development by existing and new franchisees, our ability to increase our revenues and operating profits could be adversely affected.
•Our planned growth and changes in the industry could place strains on our management, employees, information systems and internal controls, which may adversely impact our business.
•If we cannot retain our key employees and hire additional highly qualified employees, we may not be able to successfully manage our businesses and pursue our strategic objectives.
•Economic, political and other risks associated with our international operations could adversely affect our profitability and international growth prospects.
•Our financial results are affected by the operating and financial results of, our relationships with and actions taken by our franchisees.
•We are subject to a variety of additional risks associated with our franchisees, such as potential franchisee bankruptcies, franchisee changes in control, franchisee turnover, rising costs related to construction of new clubs and maintenance of existing clubs, including rising costs due to inflation and supply chain disruptions, which could adversely affect the attractiveness of our franchise model, and in turn our business, results of operations and financial condition.
•We and our franchisees could be subject to claims related to health and safety risks to members that arise while at both our corporate-owned and franchise clubs.
•Our business is subject to various laws and regulations including, among others, those governing indoor tanning, electronic funds transfer, ACH, credit card, debit card, digital payment options, auto-renewal contracts, membership cancellation rights and consumer protection more generally, and changes in such laws and regulations, failure to comply with existing or future laws and regulations or failure to adjust to consumer sentiment regarding these matters, could harm our reputation and adversely affect our business.
•Our failure to address evolving environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) issues may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
•We are subject to risks associated with leasing property subject to long-term non-cancelable leases.
•If we and our franchisees are unable to identify and secure suitable sites for new franchise clubs, our revenue growth rate and profits may be negatively impacted.
•Opening new clubs in close proximity may negatively impact our existing clubs’ revenues and profitability.
•Our franchisees may incur rising costs related to construction of new clubs and maintenance of existing clubs, including rising costs due to inflation, supply chain disruptions and other market conditions, which could adversely affect the attractiveness of our franchise model, and in turn our business, results of operations and financial condition.
•Our dependence on a limited number of suppliers for equipment and certain products and services could result in disruptions to our business and could adversely affect our revenues and gross profit.
•The accounting treatment of goodwill, equity method investments and other long-lived assets could result in future asset impairments, which would reduce our earnings.
•Planet Fitness' adoption or non-adoption of artificial intelligence could result in an adverse impact on Planet Fitness' financial performance or reputation or otherwise result in liability.
•The other factors identified under the heading “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In light of the significant risks and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements, we caution investors not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which reflect our views only as of the date of this Report. Except as required by law, neither we nor any of our affiliates or representatives undertake any obligation to provide additional information or to correct or update any information set forth in this report, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(1) Business organization
Planet Fitness, Inc. (the “Company”), through its subsidiaries, is a franchisor and operator of fitness centers, with approximately 20.6 million members and 2,741 owned and franchised locations (referred to as clubs) in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada, Panama, Mexico, Australia and Spain as of March 31, 2025.
The Company serves as the reporting entity for its various subsidiaries that operate three distinct lines of business:
•Licensing and selling franchises under the Planet Fitness trade name;
•Owning and operating fitness centers under the Planet Fitness trade name; and
•Selling fitness-related equipment to franchisee-owned clubs.
In 2012 investment funds affiliated with TSG Consumer Partners, LLC (“TSG”), purchased interests in Pla-Fit Holdings.
The Company was formed as a Delaware corporation on March 16, 2015 for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (the “IPO”) and related transactions in order to carry on the business of Pla-Fit Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries (“Pla-Fit Holdings”). As of August 5, 2015, in connection with the recapitalization transactions, the Company became the sole managing member and holder of 100% of the voting power of Pla-Fit Holdings. Pla-Fit Holdings owns 100% of Planet Intermediate, LLC, which has no operations but is the 100% owner of Planet Fitness Holdings, LLC, a franchisor and operator of fitness centers. With respect to the Company, Pla-Fit Holdings and Planet Intermediate, LLC, each entity owns nothing other than the respective entity below it in the corporate structure and each entity has no other material operations.
The Company is a holding company whose principal asset is a controlling equity interest in the membership units (“Holdings Units”) in Pla-Fit Holdings. As the sole managing member of Pla-Fit Holdings, the Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Pla-Fit Holdings, and through Pla-Fit Holdings, conducts its business. As a result, the Company consolidates Pla-Fit Holdings’ financial results and reports a non-controlling interest related to the portion of Holdings Units not owned by the Company.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company held 100.0% of the voting interest and approximately 99.6% of the economic interest in Pla-Fit Holdings and the owners of Holdings Units other than the Company (the “Continuing LLC Owners”) held the remaining 0.4% economic interest in Pla-Fit Holdings. As future exchanges of Holdings Units occur, the economic interest in Pla-Fit Holdings held by Planet Fitness, Inc. will increase.
(2) Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) Basis of presentation and consolidation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented have been reflected. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025. The Company’s significant interim accounting policies include the proportional recognition of national advertising fund expenses within interim periods. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025.

(b) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results. Significant areas where estimates and judgments are relied upon by management in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, valuation of equity-based compensation awards, valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, the evaluation of the recoverability of goodwill and long-lived assets, including intangible assets, allowance for expected credit losses, the present value of lease liabilities, income taxes, including deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the liability for the Company’s tax benefit arrangements.
(c) Fair Value
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1—Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2—Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
Certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of their short-term nature. See Note 3 for investments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and Note 5 for liabilities held at carrying value on the consolidated balance sheet.
(d) Reclassification
Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
(e) Recent accounting pronouncements
The FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, in December 2023. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions and applies to all entities subject to income taxes. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial disclosures.
The FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, in November 2024. The standard requires disaggregated disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of certain expense categories that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 on a prospective basis with the option to apply it retrospectively, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial disclosures.

For marketable securities with unrealized loss positions, the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will hold these securities until maturity or a recovery of the cost basis and they are therefore all categorized as available for sale. No allowance for credit losses was recorded for these securities as of March 31, 2025.
Held-to-maturity debt security
The Company has a debt security investment that consists of redeemable preferred shares with an original contractual maturity in 2026. The investment is classified as held-to-maturity and measured at amortized cost within investments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company reviews its held-to-maturity securities for expected credit losses under ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, on an ongoing basis.
The Company utilizes probability-of-default (“PD”) and loss-given-default (“LGD”) methodologies to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses using historical lifetime loss information for assets with similar risk characteristics, adjusted for management’s expectations. Adjustments for management’s expectations were based on the investee’s recent financial results, current financial position, and forward-looking financial forecasts. Based upon its analysis, the Company recorded a credit loss expense of $292 and $475 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, on the adjustment of its allowance for credit losses within other (gains) losses, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The amortized cost of the Company’s held-to-maturity debt security investment, which includes accrued dividends, was $33,084 and $32,523 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The amortized cost, net of the allowance for expected credit losses, approximates fair value. The Company recognized dividend income of $561 and $528 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, within other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
A roll forward of the Company’s allowance for expected credit losses on its held-to-maturity investment is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
| 2025 | | 2024 |
Beginning allowance for expected credit losses | $ | 18,834 | | | $ | 17,689 | |
Loss on adjustment of allowance for expected credit losses | 292 | | | 475 | |
Write-offs, net of recoveries | — | | | — | |
Ending allowance for expected credit losses | $ | 19,126 | | | $ | 18,164 | |
Equity method investments
For the following investments, the Company recorded its proportionate share of the investees’ earnings, prepared in accordance with GAAP, on a one-month lag, with adjustments to eliminate unrealized profits on intra-entity sales, if any, and the amortization of basis differences, within losses from equity-method investments, net of tax on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2025, the Company determined that no impairment of its equity method investments existed.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held a 22.0% ownership interest in Bravo Fit Holdings Pty Ltd, a franchisee of the Company and club operator in Australia, which is deemed to be a related party, for a total investment carrying value of $12,821 and $12,961, respectively. The difference between the carrying amount of the Company’s investment and the underlying amount of equity in net assets of the investment was $5,635 and $5,374 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. This basis difference is attributable to intangible assets, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average life of 9 years, and equity method goodwill. The Company’s proportionate share of the losses in accordance with the equity method was $283 and $308 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which included the amortization of basis difference of $66 for each period.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held a 33.2% ownership interest in Planet Fitmex, LLC, a franchisee of the Company and club operator in Mexico, which is deemed to be a related party, for a total investment carrying value of $48,478 and $49,000, respectively. The difference between the carrying amount of the Company’s investment and the underlying amount of equity in net assets of the investment was $20,349 and $21,702 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. This basis difference is attributable to intangible assets, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average life of 9 years, and equity method goodwill. The Company’s proportionate share of the losses in accordance with the equity method was $522 and $892 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which included the amortization of basis differences of $174 and $163, respectively.

Share repurchase program
2022 share repurchase program
On November 4, 2022, the Company’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $500,000, which replaced the 2019 share repurchase program. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased and retired 313,834 shares of Class A common stock for a total cost of $20,005. A share repurchase excise tax of $163 was also incurred.
2024 share repurchase program
On June 13, 2024, the Company’s board of directors conditionally approved a share repurchase program of up to $500,000 (the “2024 Share Repurchase Program”) to replace the 2022 share repurchase program. The 2024 Share Repurchase Program became effective on September 16, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased and retired 544,226 shares of Class A common stock for a total cost of $50,009. A share repurchase excise tax of $444 was also incurred. As of March 31, 2025, there is $449,991 remaining under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program.
The timing of purchases and amount of stock repurchased are subject to the Company’s discretion and dependent upon market and business conditions, the Company’s general working capital needs, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The ability to repurchase shares at any particular time is also subject to the terms of the Indenture governing the Securitized Senior Notes. Purchases may be effected through one or more open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, or a combination of the foregoing.
Preferred stock
The Company had 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized and none issued or outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
(10) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to Planet Fitness, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to Planet Fitness, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.
Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock do not share in the earnings attributable to Planet Fitness, Inc. and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented. Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock are, however, considered potentially dilutive shares of Class A common stock because shares of Class B common stock, together with the related Holdings Units, are exchangeable into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis.

(11) Income taxes
The Company is the sole managing member of Pla-Fit Holdings, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. As a partnership, Pla-Fit Holdings is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by Pla-Fit Holdings is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including the Company, on a pro-rata basis.
Planet Fitness, Inc. is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to the allocable share of any taxable income of Pla-Fit Holdings. The Company’s effective tax rate was 27.4% and 28.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state and local taxes and a remeasurement of deferred tax assets in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company is also subject to taxes in foreign jurisdictions.
Net deferred tax assets of $457,712 and $468,811 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, relate primarily to the tax effects of temporary differences in the book basis as compared to the tax basis of the investment in Pla-Fit Holdings as a result of the secondary offerings, other exchanges, recapitalization transactions and the IPO.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total liability related to uncertain tax positions was $297. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties, if applicable, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Interest and penalties for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were not material.

Tax benefit arrangements
The Company’s acquisition of Holdings Units in connection with the IPO and future and certain past exchanges of Holdings Units for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (or cash at the option of the Company) are expected to produce and have produced favorable tax attributes. In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into two tax receivable agreements, pursuant to which, the Company is required to make payments to certain holders of equity interests or their successors-in-interest (“TRA Holders”). Under the first of those arrangements, the Company generally is required to pay certain existing and previous equity owners of Pla-Fit Holdings, LLC 85% of the applicable tax savings, if any, in U.S. federal and state income tax that the Company is deemed to realize as a result of certain tax attributes of their Holdings Units sold to the Company (or exchanged in a taxable sale) and that are created as a result of (i) the sales of their Holdings Units for shares of Class A common stock and (ii) tax benefits attributable to payments made under the tax receivable agreement (including imputed interest). Under the second tax receivable agreement, the Company generally is required to pay 85% of the amount of tax savings, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize as a result of the tax attributes of certain equity interests previously held by affiliates of TSG that resulted from TSG’s purchase of interests in Pla-Fit Holdings in 2012, and certain other tax benefits. Under both agreements, the Company generally retains the remaining 15% benefit of the applicable tax savings.
In connection with the exchanges that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024, 326,073 Holding Units, respectively, were redeemed by the Continuing LLC Owners for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock, resulting in an increase in the tax basis of the net assets of Pla-Fit Holdings. As a result of the change in the Company’s ownership percentage of Pla-Fit Holdings that occurred in conjunction with the exchanges and issuance of Holding Units, the Company recorded a decrease of $400 to net deferred tax assets, during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As a result of these exchanges and other activity during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company also recognized a deferred tax asset in the amount of $7,519 and a corresponding tax benefit arrangement liability of $2,694, representing approximately 85% of the tax benefits due to the TRA Holders for shares exchanged that were subject to tax benefit arrangements. The offset to the entries recorded in connection with exchanges was to additional paid in capital within stockholders’ deficit.
The Company had a liability of $466,832 and $466,916 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, related to its projected obligations under the tax benefit arrangements.
Projected future payments under the tax benefit arrangements were as follows:

(12) Commitments and contingencies
From time to time, and in the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various claims, charges, and litigation, such as employment-related claims and slip and fall cases.
The Company is not currently aware of any other legal proceedings or claims that the Company believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or result of operations.
(13) Segments
The Company has three reportable segments: (i) Franchise; (ii) Corporate-owned clubs; and (iii) Equipment.
The Company’s operations are organized and managed by type of products and services and segment information is reported accordingly. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews financial performance and allocates resources by reportable segment. There have been no operating segments aggregated to arrive at the Company’s reportable segments. Revenues for all operating segments include only transactions with unaffiliated customers and include no intersegment revenues. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2.
Planet Fitness, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
The Franchise segment includes operations related to the Company’s franchising business in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Panama, Mexico and Australia. The Company records all revenues and expenses of the NAFs within the franchise segment. The Corporate-owned clubs segment includes operations with respect to all Corporate-owned clubs throughout the United States, Canada, and Spain. The Equipment segment includes the sale of equipment to franchisee-owned clubs.
The CODM evaluates the performance of the Company’s reportable segments based on revenue and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that the CODM does not consider in her evaluation of ongoing performance of the segment’s core operations. The CODM utilizes Segment Adjusted EBITDA when making decisions about allocating resources to the segments as well to assess the performance for each segment by comparing the results of each segment and in the compensation of certain employees. No asset information has been provided for these reportable segments as the CODM does not regularly review asset information by reportable segment.

The term “consolidated” refers to the combination of a franchisee’s club with another club located in close proximity with our prior approval. This often coincides with an enlargement, re-equipment and/or refurbishment of the remaining club.
ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this report to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Planet Fitness, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview
We are one of the largest and fastest-growing franchisors and operators of fitness centers in the world by number of members and locations, with a highly recognized national brand. Our mission is to enhance people’s lives by providing a high-quality fitness experience in a welcoming, non-intimidating environment, which we call the Judgement Free Zone. Our bright, clean clubs are typically 20,000 square feet, with a large selection of high-quality, purple and yellow Planet Fitness-branded cardio, circuit- and strength equipment and friendly staff trainers who offer unlimited free fitness instruction to all our members in small groups. We offer this differentiated fitness experience starting at only $15 per month to new members for our standard Classic Card membership. This attractive value proposition is designed to appeal to a broad population, inclusive of all fitness levels from beginners to athletes. We and our franchisees fiercely protect Planet Fitness’ community atmosphere—a place where you do not need to be fit before joining and where progress toward achieving your fitness goals (big or small) is supported and applauded by our staff and fellow members.
As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately 20.6 million members and 2,741 clubs in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada, Panama, Mexico, Australia and Spain. Of our 2,741 clubs, 2,461 are franchised and 280 are corporate-owned.
As of March 31, 2025, we had contractual commitments to open approximately 900 new clubs.
Our segments
We operate and manage our business in three business segments: Franchise, Corporate-owned clubs and Equipment. Our Franchise segment includes operations related to our franchising business in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Panama, Mexico and Australia, as well as revenues and expenses of the NAFs. Our Corporate-owned clubs segment includes operations with respect to all corporate-owned clubs throughout the U.S., Canada, and Spain. The Equipment segment includes the sale of equipment to franchisee-owned clubs in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
We evaluate the performance of our segments and allocate resources to them based on revenue and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, referred to as Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Revenue and Segment Adjusted EBITDA for all operating segments include only transactions with unaffiliated customers and do not include intersegment transactions.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that the Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) does not consider in her evaluation of ongoing performance of the segment’s core operations. For additional information, see Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The following table summarizes revenue and Adjusted EBITDA broken out by our segments:

(1) Corporate and other Adjusted EBITDA includes adjusted corporate overhead costs, such as payroll and related benefit costs and professional services that are not directly attributable to any individual segment and thus are unallocated.
(2) Segment Adjusted EBITDA plus the Adjusted EBITDA of corporate and other is equal to Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric that is not presented in accordance with GAAP. Refer to “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
How we assess the performance of our business
In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of performance and financial measures. The key measures for determining how our business is performing include total monthly dues and annual fees from members (which we refer to as system-wide sales), the number of new club openings, same club sales for both corporate-owned and franchisee-owned clubs, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted net income per share, diluted. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more information.
Number of new club openings
The number of new club openings reflects clubs opened during a particular reporting period for both corporate-owned and franchisee-owned clubs. Opening new clubs is an important part of our growth strategy and we expect the majority of our future new clubs will be franchisee-owned. Before we obtain the certificate of occupancy or report any revenue for new corporate-owned clubs, we incur pre-opening costs, such as rent expense, labor expense and other operating expenses. Our clubs open with an initial start-up period requirement of higher than normal marketing spend and operating expenses may also be higher, particularly as a percentage of monthly revenue. New clubs may not be profitable and their revenue may not follow historical patterns. The following table shows the growth in our corporate-owned and franchisee-owned club base:

(1) The term “debranded” refers to a franchisee-owned club whose right to use the Planet Fitness brand and marks has been terminated in accordance with the franchise agreement. We retain the right to prevent debranded clubs from continuing to operate as fitness centers. The term “consolidated” refers to the combination of a franchisee’s club with another club located in close proximity with our prior approval. This often coincides with an enlargement, re-equipment and/or refurbishment of the remaining club.
Same club sales
Same club sales refers to year-over-year sales comparisons for the same club sales base of both corporate-owned and franchisee-owned clubs. We define the same club sales base to include those clubs that have been open and for which monthly membership dues have been billed for longer than 12 months. We measure same club sales based solely upon monthly dues billed to members of our corporate-owned and franchisee-owned clubs.
Several factors affect our same club sales in any given period, including the following:
•the number of clubs that have been in operation for more than 12 months;
•the percentage mix and pricing of PF Black Card and standard Classic Card memberships in any period;
•growth in total net memberships per club;
•consumer recognition of our brand and our ability to respond to changing consumer preferences;
•overall economic trends, particularly those related to consumer spending;
•our and our franchisees’ ability to operate clubs effectively and efficiently to meet consumer expectations;
•marketing and promotional efforts;
•local competition;
•trade area dynamics; and
•opening of new clubs in the vicinity of existing locations.
We present same club sales as compared to the same period in the prior year for all clubs that have been open and for which monthly membership dues have been billed for longer than 12 months, beginning with the 13th month and thereafter, as applicable. Same club sales of our international clubs are calculated on a constant currency basis, meaning that we translate the current year’s same club sales of our international clubs at the same exchange rates used in the prior year. Since opening new clubs is a significant component of our revenue growth, same club sales is only one measure of how we evaluate our performance.
Clubs acquired from or sold to franchisees are removed from the franchisee-owned or corporate-owned same club sales base, as applicable, upon the ownership change and for the 12 months following the date of the ownership change. These clubs are included in the corporate-owned or franchisee-owned same club sales base, as applicable, following the twelfth month after the acquisition or sale. These clubs remain in the system-wide same club sales base in all periods. The following table shows our same club sales:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
| 2025 | | 2024 |
Same club sales growth: | | | |
Franchisee-owned clubs | 6.2 | % | | 6.3 | % |
Corporate-owned clubs | 5.1 | % | | 6.2 | % |
System-wide clubs | 6.1 | % | | 6.2 | % |
Number of clubs in same club sales base: | | | |
Franchisee-owned clubs | 2,335 | | | 2,199 | |
Corporate-owned clubs | 258 | | | 235 | |
System-wide clubs | 2,593 | | | 2,443 | |
Total monthly dues and annual fees from members (system-wide sales)
We review the total amount of dues we bill to our members on a monthly basis, which allows us to assess changes in the performance of our corporate-owned and franchisee-owned clubs from period to period, any competitive pressures, local or regional membership traffic patterns and general market conditions that might impact our club performance. System-wide sales is an operating measure that includes monthly membership dues and annual fee billings by franchisees that are not revenue realized by the Company in accordance with GAAP, as well as monthly membership dues and annual fee billings by the Company’s corporate-owned clubs. While the Company does not record sales by franchisees as revenue, and such sales are not
included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company believes that this operating measure aids in understanding how the Company derives its royalty revenue and is important in evaluating its performance. We typically bill monthly dues on or around the 17th of every month and bill annual fees once per year to each member based upon when the member signed their membership agreement. System-wide sales were $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Non-GAAP financial measures
We refer to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted as we use these measures to evaluate our operating performance and we believe these measures are useful to investors in evaluating our performance. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, as presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are supplemental measures of our performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as substitutes for GAAP metrics such as net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Also, in the future we may incur expenses or charges such as those added back to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing performance of the Company’s core operations. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of certain expenses and other items that we believe reduce the comparability of our underlying core business performance from period to period and is therefore useful to our investors. Our Board of Directors also uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key metric to assess the performance of management. Our CODM also uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is Adjusted EBITDA specific to each of our three reportable segments, to assess the financial performance of and allocate resources to our segments in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Corporate overhead costs not directly attributable to any individual segment are not allocated to the three segments and are included in Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA within Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted net income assumes that all net income is attributable to Planet Fitness, Inc., which assumes the full exchange of all outstanding Holdings Units for shares of Class A common stock of Planet Fitness, Inc., adjusted for certain non-cash and other items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations. Adjusted net income per share, diluted, is calculated by dividing Adjusted net income by the total weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding plus any dilutive options and restricted stock units as calculated in accordance with GAAP and assuming the full exchange of all outstanding Holdings Units and corresponding Class B common stock as of the beginning of each period presented. We believe Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, diluted, supplement GAAP measures and enable us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and three months ended March 31, 2024
Revenue
Total revenue was $276.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $248.0 million for three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $28.6 million, or 11.5%.
Franchise segment revenue was $115.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $104.0 million for three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $11.2 million, or 10.7%.
Franchise revenue was $93.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $84.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $9.0 million, or 10.7%. Included in franchise revenue is royalty revenue of $78.3 million, franchise and other fees of $12.5 million, and placement revenue of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to royalty revenue of $72.3 million, franchise and other fees of $9.5 million, and placement revenue of $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Of the $6.0 million increase in royalty revenue, $3.6 million was attributable to a franchise same club sales increase of 6.2%, $1.3 million was attributable to new clubs opened since January 1, 2024 before they move into the same club sales base and $1.0 million was from higher royalties on annual fees. The $2.9 million increase in franchise and other fees was primarily attributable to higher join fees and PF Perks revenue. The $0.5 million increase in placement revenue was primarily driven by higher replacement equipment placements.
National advertising fund revenue was $21.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $19.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $2.2 million, or 10.9%. This increase was attributable to $2.2 million from higher same club sales and new clubs opened since January 1, 2024.
Corporate-owned clubs segment revenue was $133.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $122.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $11.3 million, or 9.2%. This increase was primarily attributable to $6.7 million from the corporate-owned clubs in the same club sales base, of which $4.8 million was attributable to a same club sales increase of 5.1%, $1.5 million was attributable to annual fee revenue and $0.4 million was attributable to other fees. Additionally, $4.6 million was from new clubs opened since January 1, 2024 before they move into the same club sales base.
Equipment segment revenue was $27.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $21.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $6.2 million, or 28.7%. This increase was primarily attributable to $8.9 million of higher revenue from equipment sales to existing franchisee-owned clubs, partially offset by $2.7 million of lower revenue from equipment sales to new franchisee-owned clubs. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had equipment sales to 10 new franchisee-owned clubs compared to 14 in the same period last year.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue, which primarily relates to our equipment segment, was $22.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $19.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $3.5 million, or 18.4%. This increase was primarily attributable to higher replacement equipment sales to franchisee-owned clubs, partially offset by lower equipment sales to new franchisee-owned clubs, as described above.
Club operations
Club operations expense, which relates to our Corporate-owned clubs segment, was $81.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $74.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $7.3 million, or 9.9%. This increase was primarily attributable to $2.3 million from clubs included in our same club sales base as a result of higher rent and occupancy, payroll, and operational expenses and $5.0 million from new clubs opened since January 1, 2024 before they move into the same club sales base, of which $1.7 million was attributable to the opening and operating of seven clubs in Spain.
Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $34.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $29.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $5.1 million, or 17.5%. This increase was primarily attributable to $2.7 million of higher payroll costs, of which $1.7 million was related to stock-based compensation expense, $1.3 million of higher costs relating to travel and consulting and $0.6 million of higher information technology related expenses.
National advertising fund expense
National advertising fund expense was $21.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $19.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $2.2 million, or 10.9%. This increase was primarily a result of higher advertising and marketing expenditures due to higher national advertising revenue as described above.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $38.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $39.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 2.8%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in amortization expense as a result of certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized during the fourth quarter of 2024, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense primarily from new clubs opened since January 1, 2024.
Other (gains) losses, net
Other (gains) losses, net was a $1.2 million gain for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a $0.5 million loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 355.6%. The gain in 2025 was primarily the result of a gain on insurance proceeds received in the current period.
Interest income
Interest income was $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $0.4 million, or 6.4%.
Interest expense
Interest expense primarily consists of interest on long-term debt as well as the amortization of deferred financing costs.
Interest expense was $26.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $21.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $4.8 million, or 22.2%. This increase was primarily from a higher principal balance and blended interest rate on our indebtedness related to the issuance of the 2024 Notes in June 2024.
Other income, net
Other income, net was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Provision for income taxes
Income tax expense was $16.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $14.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $1.9 million, or 13.2%. This increase is primarily attributable to our higher income before taxes in the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The Company’s effective tax rate was 27.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 28.4% in the prior year period. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to remeasurement of deferred tax assets in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Segment results
Franchise
Franchise Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $84.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $76.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $8.7 million, or 11.5%. This increase was primarily attributable to higher franchise and NAF revenue of $9.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, partially offset by $2.2 million of higher NAF expense and $0.4 million of higher selling, general and administrative expense.
Corporate-owned clubs
Corporate-owned clubs Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $45.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $42.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $3.5 million, or 8.1%. This increase was primarily attributable to $4.3 million from the corporate-owned same clubs sales increase of 5.1% and $0.5 million from new clubs opened since January 1, 2024 before they move into the same club sales base, partially offset by $1.2 million from the opening and operating of seven clubs in Spain.
Equipment
Equipment Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $7.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $4.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $2.6 million, or 55.1%. This increase was primarily driven by higher replacement equipment sales to franchisee-owned clubs, as described above, and higher margin equipment sales related to an updated equipment mix as a result of the adoption of the franchise growth model.
Liquidity and capital resources
As of March 31, 2025, we had $343.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, $109.7 million of short-term marketable securities, $76.1 million of long-term marketable securities and $56.6 million of restricted cash.
We require cash principally to fund day-to-day operations, to finance capital investments, to service our outstanding debt and tax benefit arrangements and to address our working capital needs. Based on our current level of operations, we believe that with our available cash balance, the cash generated from our operations, and amounts available under our 2022 Variable Funding Notes will be adequate to meet our anticipated debt service requirements and obligations under our tax benefit arrangements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for at least the next 12 months. Our ability to continue to fund these items could be adversely affected by the occurrence of any of the events described under “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There can be no assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or otherwise to enable us to service our indebtedness, including our Securitized Senior Notes, or to make anticipated capital expenditures. Our future operating performance and our ability to service, extend or refinance our indebtedness will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
Summary of Cash Flows
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
(in thousands) | 2025 | | 2024 |
Net cash provided by (used in): | | | |
Operating activities | $ | 133,927 | | | $ | 89,732 | |
Investing activities | (28,099) | | | (38,644) | |
Financing activities | (55,359) | | | (24,997) | |
Effect of foreign exchange rates on cash | 348 | | | (315) | |
Net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | 50,817 | | | $ | 25,776 | |
Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities of $133.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to $42.1 million of net income and $51.4 million of adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities, primarily consisting of depreciation and amortization, deferred tax expense, stock-based compensation expense, gain on insurance proceeds, amortization of deferred financing costs and other adjustments and a $40.4 million working capital cash inflow. The working capital cash inflow was primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable primarily from collections in 2025, an increase in deferred revenue primarily from increased annual billing and NAF revenue, an increase in lease liabilities primarily from new corporate-owned clubs in 2025, an increase in income taxes payable and a decrease in inventory primarily from the delivery of equipment orders. The working capital cash inflow was partially offset by an increase in restricted assets for the NAF and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses primarily related to equipment orders.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $89.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to $35.0 million of net income and $53.8 million of adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities, primarily consisting of depreciation and amortization, deferred tax expense, amortization of deferred financing costs, stock-based compensation expense and other adjustments, and a $1.0 million working capital cash inflow.
Investing activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $28.1 million compared to $38.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $10.5 million. This decrease is primarily attributable to maturities of marketable securities, net of purchases of $6.7 million, lower capital expenditures of $3.3 million and insurance proceeds of $2.1 million, partially offset by higher cash used for acquisitions and other investments of $1.5 million. Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
(in thousands) | 2025 | | 2024 |
New corporate-owned clubs | $ | 7,385 | | | $ | 6,568 | |
Existing corporate-owned clubs | 11,672 | | | 15,391 | |
Information systems | 3,739 | | | 3,291 | |
Corporate and all other | 259 | | | 1,061 | |
Total capital expenditures | $ | 23,055 | | | $ | 26,311 | |
Financing activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in financing activities was $55.4 million compared to $25.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $30.4 million, which was primarily attributable to an increase in cash used for share repurchases in 2025.
Securitized Financing Facility
Planet Fitness Master Issuer LLC (the “Master Issuer”), a limited-purpose, bankruptcy remote, wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Pla-Fit Holdings, LLC, is the master issuer of outstanding senior secured notes under a securitized financing facility that was entered into in August 2018.
In February 2022, the Master Issuer issued the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes, which allow for the drawing of up to $75 million of 2022 Variable Funding Notes, including a letter of credit facility. The 2022 Variable Funding Notes are undrawn as of March 31, 2025.
There were no material changes to the terms of any debt obligations in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of March 31, 2025.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
As of March 31, 2025, our off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of guarantees of lease agreements for certain franchisees up to a maximum period of ten years with earlier expiration dates possible if certain conditions are met. Our maximum total obligation under these lease guarantee agreements is approximately $4.3 million and would require payment only upon default by the primary obligor. The estimated fair value of these guarantees as of March 31, 2025 was not material, and no accrual has been recorded for our potential obligation under these arrangements.
Critical accounting policies and use of estimates
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and use of estimates from those described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s market risk during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Refer to “Part II. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II-OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
We are currently involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business, most of which are covered by insurance. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these actions will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources nor do we believe that there is a reasonable possibility that we will incur material loss as a result of such actions. However, a significant increase in the number of these claims or an increase in amounts owing under successful claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
Refer to the “Risks Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a discussion of risks to which our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are subject. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the aforementioned Annual Report.
ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
The following table provides information regarding purchases of shares of our Class A common stock by us and our “affiliated purchasers” (as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

(1) On June 13, 2024, our board of directors conditionally approved a share repurchase program of up to $500,000,000, which became effective on September 16, 2024. Purchases may be effected through one or more open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, or a combination of the foregoing. The Company may terminate the program at any time.
In connection with our IPO, we and the existing holders of Holdings Units entered into an exchange agreement under which they (or certain permitted transferees) have the right, from time to time and subject to the terms of the exchange agreement, to exchange their Holdings Units, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock, for shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and other similar transactions. As an existing holder of Holdings Units exchanges Holdings Units for shares of Class A common stock, the number of Holdings Units held by Planet Fitness, Inc. is correspondingly increased, and a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock are canceled.

None.

PLANET FITNESS, INC.
POLICY FOR RECOUPMENT OF INCENTIVE COMPENSATION
1.Introduction
In accordance with the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Stock Exchange”) and Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the regulations thereunder, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Planet Fitness, Inc. (the “Company”) has adopted this policy (as may be amended from time to time, this “Policy”) providing for the Company’s recoupment of certain incentive-based compensation received by Covered Executives (as defined below) in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to its material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws.
2.Administration
Administration and enforcement of this Policy is delegated to the Compensation Committee of the Board (as constituted from time to time, and including any successor committee, the “Committee”). The Committee is authorized to interpret and construe this Policy and to make all determinations necessary, appropriate, or advisable for the administration of this Policy in its sole discretion. It is intended that this Policy be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 10D of the Exchange Act, the applicable rules or standards adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the listing standards of the Stock Exchange (or any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed). Determinations of the Committee under this Policy need not be uniform with respect to any or all Covered Executives and will be final and binding.
3.Effective Date
This Policy shall be effective as of October 2, 2023 (the “Effective Date”) and shall apply only to Covered Compensation (as defined below) that is received by Covered Executives on or after the Effective Date.
4.Covered Executives
This Policy covers each current or former officer of the Company subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act (each, a “Covered Executive”).
5.Covered Compensation
This Policy applies to any cash-based or equity-based incentive compensation, bonuses, and awards that are received by a Covered Executive and that were based, wholly or in part, upon the attainment of any Financial Reporting Measure (as such term is defined below) (such compensation, “Covered Compensation”). For the avoidance of doubt, none of the following shall be deemed to be Covered Compensation: base salary, a bonus that is paid solely at the discretion of the Committee or Board and not paid from a bonus pool determined by satisfying a Financial Reporting Measure performance goal, and cash or equity-based awards that are earned solely upon satisfaction of one or more subjective or strategic standards. This Policy shall apply to any Covered Compensation received by a person only if: (i) it is received after the person begins service as a Covered Executive; (ii) the person served as a
Covered Executive at any time during the performance period for such Covered Compensation; and (iii) it is received while the Company has a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange or a national securities association. For purposes of this Policy, “Financial Reporting Measure” means (i) any measure that is determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements, and any measure that is derived wholly or in part from such measure (whether or not such measure is presented within the Company’s financial statements or included in a filing made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission), (ii) stock price and (iii) total shareholder return.
6.Financial Restatements; Recoupment
In the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period (such an accounting restatement, a “Restatement”), the Committee shall review the Covered Compensation received by a Covered Executive during the three-year period preceding the Required Financial Restatement Date (as defined below) as well as any transition period that results from a change in the Company’s fiscal year within or immediately following those three completed fiscal years. Regardless of whether the Company files the restated financial statements, the Committee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by governing law, promptly seek recoupment of any Covered Compensation, whether in the form of cash or equity, received by a Covered Executive (computed without regard to any taxes paid), if and to the extent:
a.the amount of the Covered Compensation was calculated based upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of such Restatement; and
b.the amount of the Covered Compensation that would have been received by the Covered Executive had the financial results been properly reported would have been lower than the amount actually awarded (any such amount, “Erroneously-Awarded Compensation”).
For Covered Compensation based on stock price or total shareholder return, where the amount of Erroneously-Awarded Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in a Restatement, the amount of such Covered Compensation that is deemed to be Erroneously-Awarded Compensation will be based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Restatement on the stock price or total shareholder return upon which the Covered Compensation was received, and the Company will maintain and provide to the Stock Exchange documentation of the determination of such reasonable estimate.
For purposes of this Policy, the “Required Financial Restatement Date” is the earlier to occur of:
a.the date the Board, a committee of the Board, or any officer or officers authorized to take such action if Board action is not required, concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare a Restatement; or
b.the date a court, regulator, or other legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare a Restatement.
For the avoidance of doubt, a Covered Executive will be deemed to have received Covered Compensation in the Company’s fiscal period during which the Financial Reporting Measure specified in the award is attained, regardless of when the payment or grant of the Covered Compensation occurs and even if the Covered Executive remains subject to additional payment conditions with respect to such award.
7.Method of Recoupment
The Committee will determine, in its sole discretion, the method for recouping Erroneously-Awarded Compensation, which may include, without limitation:
a.requiring reimbursement of cash incentive compensation previously paid;
b.cancelling or rescinding some or all outstanding vested or unvested equity (and/or equity-based) awards; and/or
c.adjusting or withholding from unpaid compensation or other set-off to the extent permitted by applicable law.
8.Impracticability Exceptions
The Committee shall not be required to seek recoupment of any Erroneously-Awarded Compensation to the extent it determines that:
a.the direct expense paid to a third party to assist in enforcing this Policy would exceed the amount of Erroneously-Awarded Compensation to be recovered;
b.recovery would violate home country law where that law was adopted prior to November 28, 2022 (and the Company has obtained an opinion of home country counsel, acceptable to the Stock Exchange, that recovery would result in such a violation, and provided such opinion to the Stock Exchange); and/or
c.recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to Company employees, to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 401(a)(13) and 411(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder.
9.No Indemnification
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not indemnify any Covered Executive against the loss of any Erroneously-Awarded Compensation or any Covered Compensation that is recouped pursuant to the terms of this Policy, or any claims relating to the Company’s enforcement of its rights under this Policy, and shall not pay or reimburse any Covered Executive for the purchase of a third-party insurance policy to fund potential recovery obligations.
10.Severability
If any provision of this Policy or the application of any such provision to any Covered Executive shall be adjudicated to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Policy, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to render any such provision or application enforceable.
11.Amendments
The Committee may amend, modify or terminate this Policy in whole or in part at any time and may adopt such rules and procedures that it deems necessary or appropriate to implement this Policy or to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
12.No Impairment of Other Remedies
The remedies under this Policy are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any legal and equitable claims the Company may have, the Company’s ability to enforce, without duplication, the recoupment provisions set forth in any separate Company policy or in any Company plan, program or agreement (each, a “Separate Recoupment Policy” and collectively, the “Separate Recoupment Policies”), or any actions that may be imposed by law enforcement agencies, regulators or other authorities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that there is a conflict between the application of this Policy to a Covered Executive in the event of a Restatement and any additional recoupment provisions set forth in a Separate Recoupment Policy to which a Covered Executive is subject, the provisions of this Policy shall control. The Company may also adopt additional Separate Recoupment Policies in the future or amend existing policies as required by law or regulation.

Exhibit 10.2
PLANET FITNESS, INC.
2025 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
1.DEFINED TERMS
Exhibit A, which is incorporated by reference, defines the terms used in the Plan and sets forth certain operational rules related to those terms.
2.PURPOSE
The Plan has been established to advance the interests of the Company by providing for the grant to Participants of Stock, and Stock-based Awards.
3.ADMINISTRATION
The Plan will be administered by the Administrator. The Administrator has discretionary authority to interpret the Plan and any Awards; determine eligibility for and grant Awards; determine the exercise price, base value from which appreciation is measured, or purchase price, if any, applicable to any Award; determine, modify or waive the terms and conditions of any Award; determine the form of settlement of Awards (whether in cash, shares of Stock or other property); prescribe forms, rules and procedures relating to the Plan; and otherwise do all things necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of the Plan. Determinations of the Administrator made under the Plan will be conclusive and will bind all parties.
4.LIMITS ON AWARDS UNDER THE PLAN
a.Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided herein, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be delivered in satisfaction of Awards under the Plan is (i) 5,300,000 shares, plus (ii) the number of shares of Stock underlying awards granted under the Prior Plan that on or after the Date of Adoption expire or become unexercisable without having been exercised or are forfeited to or repurchased by the Company for cash, settled in cash or withheld by the Company in payment of an exercise price or in satisfaction of tax withholding requirements or otherwise become available again for grant under the Prior Plan, in each case in accordance with its terms (in the case of this subclause (ii), not to exceed 381,700 shares of Stock). Up to the total number of shares available for Awards to employee Participants may be issued in satisfaction of ISOs, but nothing in this Section 4(a) will be construed as requiring that any, or any fixed number of, ISOs be awarded under the Plan. The limits set forth in this Section 4(a) shall be construed to comply with Section 422. For purposes of this Section 4(a), the number of shares of Stock delivered in satisfaction of Awards will be determined by including the number of shares of Stock withheld by the Company in payment of the exercise price or purchase price of the Award or in satisfaction of tax withholding requirements with respect to the Award but, for the avoidance of doubt, without including any shares of Stock underlying Awards settled in cash or that otherwise expire or become unexercisable without having been exercised or that are forfeited to or repurchased by the Company due to failure to vest. To the extent
consistent with the requirements of Section 422 and the regulations thereunder, and with other applicable legal requirements (including applicable stock exchange requirements), Stock issued under awards of an acquired company that are converted, replaced or adjusted in connection with the acquisition shall not reduce the number of shares of Stock available for Awards under the Plan.
b.Type of Shares. Stock delivered by the Company under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Stock, treasury Stock or previously issued Stock acquired by the Company. No fractional shares of Stock will be delivered under the Plan.
c.Non-Employee Director Limits. In the case of a Director, the maximum aggregate value of all compensation granted or paid to any Director with respect to any calendar year, including Awards granted under the Plan and cash fees or other compensation paid by the Company to such Director outside of the Plan for his or her services as a Director during such calendar year, shall be $750,000 in the aggregate ($1,000,000 in the aggregate with respect to a non-employee chairperson of the Board or lead Director), calculating the value of any Awards based on the grant date fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 (or any successor provision), assuming a maximum payout, if applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitation in this Section 4(c) will not apply to any compensation granted or paid to a Director for his or her services to the Company or any of its Affiliates other than as a Director, including, without limitation, as a consultant or advisor to the Company or any of its Affiliates.
5.ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION
The Administrator will select Participants from among key Employees and directors of, and consultants and advisors to, the Company and its Affiliates. Eligibility for ISOs is limited to individuals described in the first sentence of this Section 5 who are employees of the Company or of a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” of the Company as those terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code. Eligibility for Stock Options, other than ISOs, and SARs is limited to individuals described in the first sentence of this Section 5 who are providing direct services on the date of grant of the Award to the Company or to a subsidiary of the Company that would be described in the first sentence of Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iii)(E) of the Treasury Regulations.
6.RULES APPLICABLE TO AWARDS
(a)All Awards.
(1)Award Provisions. The Administrator will determine the terms of all Awards, subject to the limitations provided herein. No term of an Award shall provide for automatic “reload” grants of additional Awards upon the exercise of a Stock Option or SAR. By accepting (or, under such rules as the Administrator may prescribe, being deemed to have accepted) an Award, the Participant will be deemed to have agreed to the terms of the Award and the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, awards of an acquired company that are converted, replaced or adjusted in
connection with the acquisition may contain terms and conditions that are inconsistent with the terms and conditions specified herein, as determined by the Administrator.
(2)Term of Plan. No Awards may be made after ten years from the date the Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, but previously granted Awards may continue beyond that date in accordance with their terms.
(3)Transferability. Neither ISOs nor, except as the Administrator otherwise expressly provides in accordance with the last sentence of this Section 6(a)(3), other Awards may be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During a Participant’s lifetime, ISOs (and, except as the Administrator otherwise expressly provides in accordance with the last sentence of this Section 6(a)(3), SARs and NSOs) may be exercised only by the Participant. The Administrator may permit the gratuitous transfer (i.e., transfer not for value) of Awards other than ISOs to any transferee eligible to be covered by the provisions of Form S-8 (under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), subject to such limitations as the Administrator may impose.
(4)Vesting, etc. The Administrator will determine the time or times at which an Award will vest or become exercisable and the terms on which a Stock Option or SAR will remain exercisable. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator may at any time accelerate the vesting or exercisability of an Award, regardless of any adverse or potentially adverse tax or other consequences resulting from such acceleration. Unless the Administrator expressly provides otherwise, however, the following rules will apply if a Participant’s Employment ceases:
(A)Immediately upon the cessation of the Participant’s Employment and except as provided in (B) and (C) below, each Stock Option and SAR that is then held by the Participant or by the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, will cease to be exercisable and will terminate and all other Awards that are then held by the Participant or by the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, to the extent not already vested, will be forfeited.
(B)Subject to (C) and (D) below, all Stock Options and SARs held by the Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the Participant’s Employment, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) a period of three months or (ii) the period ending on the latest date on which such Stock Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this Section 6(a)(4), and will thereupon immediately terminate.
(C)Subject to (D) below, all Stock Options and SARs held by a Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the Participant’s Employment due to his or her death or due to the
termination of the Participant’s Employment by the Company due to his or her Disability, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) a period of twelve (12) months or (ii) the period ending on the latest date on which such Stock Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this Section 6(a)(4), and will thereupon immediately terminate.
(D)All Awards (whether or not vested or exercisable) held by a Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the Participant’s Employment will immediately terminate upon such cessation of Employment if the termination is for Cause or occurs in circumstances that in the sole determination of the Administrator would have constituted grounds for the Participant’s Employment to be terminated for Cause.
(5)Additional Restrictions. The Administrator may cancel, rescind, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict any Award at any time, and may provide that any proceeds from the exercise or disposition of any Award or Stock acquired under any Award, and any other amounts received in respect of any Award or Stock acquired under any Award will be subject to forfeiture and disgorgement to the Company, with interest and other related earnings, if the Participant is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Award agreement and the Plan, or if the Participant breaches any agreement with the Company or its Affiliates with respect to noncompetition, non-solicitation, no-hire, non-disparagement, invention assignment, confidentiality or other restrictive covenant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator may recover Awards made under the Plan and payments or shares of Stock delivered under or gain in respect of any Award in accordance with any applicable Company clawback, recoupment or similar policy or policies, including the Company’s Executive Compensation Recoupment Policy and the Company’s Policy for Recoupment of Incentive Compensation, as such policy or policies may be amended and in effect from time to time, or as otherwise required by applicable law or applicable stock exchange listing standards, including, without limitation, Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In addition, each Award will be subject to any policy of the Company or any of its subsidiaries that relates to trading on non-public information and permitted transactions with respect to shares of Stock, including limitations on hedging and pledging. Each Participant, by accepting or being deemed to have accepted an Award under the Plan, agrees (or will be deemed to have agreed) to the terms of this Section 6(a)(5) and to any clawback, recoupment or similar policy of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and further agrees (or will be deemed to have further agreed) to cooperate fully with the Administrator, and to cause any and all permitted transferees of the Participant to cooperate fully with the Administrator, to effectuate any forfeiture or disgorgement described in this Section 6(a)(5). Neither the Administrator nor the Company nor any other person, other than the Participant and his or her permitted transferees, if any, will be responsible for any adverse tax or other consequences to a Participant or his or her permitted transferees, if any, that may arise in connection with this Section 6(a)(5).
(6)Taxes. The grant of an Award and the issuance, delivery, vesting and retention of Stock, cash or other property under an Award are conditioned upon full satisfaction by the Participant of all tax and other withholding requirements with respect to the Award. The Administrator will prescribe such rules for the withholding of taxes and other amounts with respect to any Award as it deems necessary. Each Participant agrees to promptly remit to the Company or an Affiliate, in cash, the full amount of all taxes required to be withheld in connection with an Award unless the Administrator, in its sole discretion, provides alternative means for satisfying the Company’s tax withholding requirements. The Administrator may, but need not, hold back shares of Stock from an Award or permit a Participant to tender previously owned shares of Stock in satisfaction of tax or other withholding requirements (but not in excess of the minimum withholding required by law or such greater amount that would not result in adverse accounting consequences to the Company in the discretion of the Administrator). Any amounts withheld pursuant to this Section 6(a)(6) will be treated as though such amounts had been paid directly to the Participant. In addition, the Company may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax and other withholding amounts from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a Participant from the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company.
(7)Dividend Equivalents, etc. The Administrator may provide for the payment of amounts (on terms and subject to conditions established by the Administrator) in lieu of cash dividends or other cash distributions with respect to Stock subject to an Award whether or not the holder of such Award is otherwise entitled to share in the actual dividend or distribution in respect of such Award; provided, however, that (a) dividends or dividend equivalents relating to an Award that, at the dividend payment date, remains subject to a risk of forfeiture (whether service-based or performance-based) shall be subject to the same risk of forfeiture as applies to the underlying Award and (b) no dividends or dividend equivalents shall be payable with respect to Stock Options or SARs. Any entitlement to dividend equivalents or similar entitlements will be established and administered either consistent with an exemption from, or in compliance with, the applicable requirements of Section 409A.
(8)Rights Limited. Nothing in the Plan or any Award will be construed as giving any person the right to be granted an Award or to continued employment or service with the Company or its Affiliates, or any rights as a stockholder except as to shares of Stock actually issued under the Plan. The loss of existing or potential profit in Awards will not constitute an element of damages in the event of a termination of Employment for any reason, even if the termination is in violation of an obligation of the Company or any Affiliate to the Participant.
(9)Coordination with Other Plans. Awards under the Plan may be granted in tandem with, or in satisfaction of or substitution for, other Awards under the Plan or awards made under other compensatory plans or programs of the Company or its Affiliates. For example, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, awards under other compensatory plans or programs of the Company or its Affiliates may be
settled in Stock (including, without limitation, Unrestricted Stock) if the Administrator so determines, in which case the shares delivered will be treated as awarded under the Plan (and will reduce the number of shares thereafter available under the Plan in accordance with the rules set forth in Section 4).
(10)Section 409A.
(A)Without limiting the generality of Section 11(b) hereof, each Award will contain such terms as the Administrator determines, and will be construed and administered, such that the Award either qualifies for an exemption from the requirements of Section 409A or satisfies such requirements.
(B)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or any Award agreement, the Administrator may unilaterally amend, modify or terminate the Plan or any outstanding Award, including, without limitation, changing the form of the Award, if the Administrator determines that such amendment, modification or termination is necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of an additional tax, interest or penalty under Section 409A.
(C)If a Participant is determined on the date of the Participant’s termination of Employment to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code, then, with regard to any payment that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, to the extent applicable, payable on account of a “separation from service”, such payment will be made or provided on the date that is the earlier of (i) the first business day following the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” and (ii) the date of the Participant’s death (the “Delay Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments delayed pursuant to this Section 6(a)(10)(C) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single lump sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) will be paid, without interest, on the first business day following the expiration of the Delay Period in a lump sum and any remaining payments due under the Award will be paid in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them in the applicable Award agreement.
(D)For purposes of Section 409A, each payment made under the Plan or any Award will be treated as a separate payment.
(E)With regard to any payment considered to be nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, to the extent applicable, that is payable upon a change in control of the Company or other similar event, to the extent required to avoid the imposition of an additional tax, interest or penalty under Section 409A, no amount will be payable unless such change in control constitutes a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations.
(b)Stock Options and SARs.
(1)Time and Manner of Exercise. Unless the Administrator expressly provides otherwise, no Stock Option or SAR will be deemed to have been exercised until the Administrator receives a notice of exercise (in form acceptable to the Administrator), which if the Administrator so determines may be an electronic notice, signed (including electronic signature in form acceptable to the Administrator) by the appropriate person and accompanied by any payment required under the Award. A Stock Option or SAR exercised by any person other than the Participant will not be deemed to have been exercised until the Administrator has received such evidence as it may require that the person exercising the Award has the right to do so. The Administrator may impose conditions on the exercisability of Awards, including limitations on the time periods during which Awards may be exercised or settled.
(2)Exercise Price. The exercise price (or the base value from which appreciation is to be measured) of each Stock Option or SAR will be no less than 100% (or in the case of an ISO granted to a ten-percent shareholder within the meaning of subsection (b)(6) of Section 422, 110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to the Award, determined as of the date of grant, or such higher amount as the Administrator may determine in connection with the grant. Except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (which term shall include, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of shares) or as otherwise contemplated by Section 7 of the Plan, (i) the terms of outstanding Stock Options or SARs, as applicable, may not be amended to reduce the exercise prices of such Stock Options or the base values from which appreciation under such SARs are to be measured, (ii) outstanding Stock Options or SARs may not be cancelled in exchange for Stock Options or SARs that have an exercise price or base value that is less than the exercise price or base value of the original Stock Options or SARs, and (iii) the Company may not cancel outstanding Stock Options or SARs that have an exercise price or base value greater than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of such cancellation in exchange for cash or other consideration, in each case, other than in accordance with the stockholder approval requirements of the New York Stock Exchange.
(3)Payment of Exercise Price. Where the exercise of an Award is to be accompanied by payment, payment of the exercise price will be by cash or check acceptable to the Administrator or by such other legally permissible means, if any, as may be acceptable to the Administrator.
(4)Maximum Term. Stock Options and SARs will have a maximum term not to exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant (or five (5) years from the date of grant in the case of an ISO granted to a ten-percent shareholder described in Section 6(b)(2) above).
7.EFFECT OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
(a)Mergers, etc. Except as otherwise provided in an Award agreement, the following provisions will apply in the event of a Covered Transaction:
(1)Assumption or Substitution. If the Covered Transaction is one in which there is an acquiring or surviving entity, the Administrator may (but, for the avoidance of doubt, need not) provide (i) for the assumption or continuation of some or all outstanding Awards or any portion thereof or (ii) for the grant of new awards in substitution therefor by the acquiror or survivor or an affiliate of the acquiror or survivor.
(2)Cash-Out of Awards. Subject to Section 7(a)(5) below, the Administrator may (but, for the avoidance of doubt, need not) provide for payment (a “cash-out”), with respect to some or all Awards or any portion thereof, equal in the case of each affected Award or portion thereof to the excess, if any, of (A) the fair market value of one share of Stock times the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award or such portion, over (B) the aggregate exercise or purchase price, if any, under the Award or such portion (in the case of an SAR, the aggregate base value above which appreciation is measured), in each case on such payment terms (which need not be the same as the terms of payment to holders of Stock) and other terms, and subject to such conditions, as the Administrator determines; it being understood that if the exercise or purchase price (or base value) of an Award is equal to or greater than the fair market value of one share of Stock, the Award may be cancelled with no payment due hereunder.
(3)Acceleration of Certain Awards. Subject to Section 7(a)(5) below, the Administrator may (but, for the avoidance of doubt, need not) provide that any Award requiring exercise will become exercisable, in full or in part and/or that the delivery of any shares of Stock remaining deliverable under any outstanding Award of Stock Units (including Restricted Stock Units and Performance Awards to the extent consisting of Stock Units) will be accelerated in full or in part, in each case on a basis that gives the holder of the Award a reasonable opportunity, as determined by the Administrator, following exercise of the Award or the delivery of the shares, as the case may be, to participate as a stockholder in the Covered Transaction.
(4)Termination of Awards Upon Consummation of Covered Transaction. Except as the Administrator may otherwise determine, each Award will automatically terminate (and in the case of outstanding shares of Restricted Stock, will automatically be forfeited) upon consummation of the Covered Transaction, other than Awards assumed pursuant to Section 7(a)(1) above.
(5)Additional Limitations. Any share of Stock and any cash or other property delivered pursuant to Section 7(a)(1), Section 7(a)(2) or Section 7(a)(3) above with respect to an Award may, in the discretion of the Administrator, contain such restrictions, if any, as the Administrator deems appropriate, including to reflect any performance or other vesting conditions to which the Award was subject and that did not
lapse (and were not satisfied) in connection with the Covered Transaction. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, a cash-out under Section 7(a)(2) above or acceleration under Section 7(a)(3) above will not, in and of itself, be treated as the lapsing (or satisfaction) of a performance or other vesting condition. In the case of Restricted Stock that does not vest and is not forfeited in connection with the Covered Transaction, the Administrator may require that any amounts delivered, exchanged or otherwise paid in respect of such Stock in connection with the Covered Transaction be placed in escrow or otherwise made subject to such restrictions as the Administrator deems appropriate to carry out the intent of the Plan.
(6)Uniform Treatment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrator need not treat Participants or Awards (or portions thereof) in a uniform manner, and may treat different Participants and/or Awards differently, in connection with a Covered Transaction.
(b)Changes in and Distributions with Respect to Stock.
(1)Basic Adjustment Provisions. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split or combination of shares (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization or other change in the Company’s capital structure that constitutes an equity restructuring within the meaning of FASB ASC Topic 718 (or any successor provision), the Administrator will make appropriate adjustments to the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be delivered under the Plan and to the number and kind of shares of stock or securities subject to Awards then outstanding or subsequently granted, any exercise or purchase prices (or base values) relating to Awards and any other provision of Awards affected by such change.
(2)Certain Other Adjustments. The Administrator may also make adjustments of the type described in Section 7(b)(1) above to take into account distributions to stockholders other than those provided for in Section 7(a) and 7(b)(1), or any other event, if the Administrator determines that adjustments are appropriate to avoid distortion in the operation of the Plan, having due regard for the qualification of ISOs under Section 422 and the requirements of Section 409A, where applicable.
(3)Continuing Application of Plan Terms. References in the Plan to shares of Stock will be construed to include any stock or securities resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.
8.LEGAL CONDITIONS ON DELIVERY OF STOCK
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Stock pursuant to the Plan or to remove any restriction from shares of Stock previously delivered under the Plan until: (i) the Company is satisfied that all legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been addressed and resolved; (ii) if the outstanding Stock is at the time of delivery listed on any stock exchange or national market system, the shares to be delivered have been
listed or authorized to be listed on such exchange or system upon official notice of issuance; and (iii) all conditions of the Award have been satisfied or waived. The Company may require, as a condition to exercise of the Award, such representations or agreements as counsel for the Company may consider appropriate to avoid violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state or non-U.S. securities law. Any Stock required to be issued to Participants under the Plan will be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator may deem appropriate, including book-entry registration or delivery of stock certificates. In the event that the Administrator determines that Stock certificates will be issued to Participants under the Plan, the Administrator may require that certificates evidencing Stock issued under the Plan bear an appropriate legend reflecting any restriction on transfer applicable to such Stock, and the Company may hold the certificates pending lapse of the applicable restrictions.
9.AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
The Administrator may at any time or times amend the Plan or any outstanding Award for any purpose which may at the time be permitted by law, and may at any time terminate the Plan as to any future grants of Awards; provided, that, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, the Administrator may not, without the Participant’s consent, alter the terms of an Award so as to affect materially and adversely the Participant’s rights under the Award, unless the Administrator expressly reserved the right to do so at the time the Award was granted. Any amendments to the Plan will be conditioned upon stockholder approval only to the extent, if any, such approval is required by law (including the Code and applicable stock exchange requirements), as determined by the Administrator. For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting the Administrator’s rights hereunder, no adjustment to any Award pursuant to the terms of Section 7 or Section 12 hereof will be treated as an amendment requiring a Participant’s consent.
10.OTHER COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS
The existence of the Plan or the grant of any Award will not in any way affect the Company’s right to award a person bonuses or other compensation in addition to Awards under the Plan.
11.MISCELLANEOUS
(a)Waiver of Jury Trial. By accepting or being deemed to have accepted an Award under the Plan, to the maximum extent permitted by law, each Participant waives (or will be deemed to have waived) any right to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim concerning any rights under the Plan and any Award, or under any amendment, waiver, consent, instrument, document or other agreement delivered or which in the future may be delivered in connection therewith, and agrees (or will be deemed to have agreed) that any such action, proceedings or counterclaim will be tried before a court and not before a jury. By accepting (or being deemed to have accepted) an Award under the Plan, each Participant certifies that no officer, representative, or attorney of the Company has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the Company would not, in the event of any action, proceeding or counterclaim, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, nothing herein is to be construed as limiting the ability of the Company and a Participant to agree to submit disputes
arising under the terms of the Plan or any Award made hereunder to binding arbitration or as limiting the ability of the Company to require any eligible individual to agree to submit such disputes to binding arbitration as a condition of receiving an Award hereunder.
(b)Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, neither the Company, nor any Affiliate, nor the Administrator, nor any person acting on behalf of the Company, any Affiliate, or the Administrator, will be liable to any Participant or to the estate or beneficiary of any Participant or to any other holder of an Award by reason of any acceleration of income, or any additional tax (including any interest and penalties), asserted by reason of the failure of an Award to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 or Section 409A or by reason of Section 4999 of the Code, or otherwise asserted with respect to the Award.
(c)Unfunded Plan. The Company’s obligations under the Plan are unfunded, and no Participant will have any right to specific assets of the Company in respect of any Award. Participants will be general unsecured creditors of the Company with respect to any amounts due or payable under the Plan.
12.ESTABLISHMENT OF SUB-PLANS
The Administrator may from time to time establish one or more sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of satisfying applicable blue sky, securities or tax laws of various jurisdictions. The Administrator will establish such sub-plans by adopting supplements to the Plan setting forth (i) such limitations on the Administrator’s discretion under the Plan as it deems necessary or desirable and (ii) such additional terms and conditions not otherwise inconsistent with the Plan as it deems necessary or desirable. All supplements so established will be deemed to be part of the Plan, but each supplement will apply only to Participants within the affected jurisdiction (as determined by the Administrator).
13.GOVERNING LAW
(a)Certain Requirements of Corporate Law. Awards will be granted and administered consistent with the requirements of applicable Delaware law relating to the issuance of stock and the consideration to be received therefor, and with the applicable requirements of the stock exchanges or other trading systems on which the Stock is listed or entered for trading, in each case, as determined by the Administrator.
(b)Other Matters. Except as otherwise provided by the express terms of an Award agreement, under a sub-plan described in Section 12 or as provided in Section 13(a) above, the provisions of the Plan and of Awards under the Plan and all claims or disputes arising out of or based upon the Plan or any Award under the Plan or relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof will be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of New Hampshire without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.
(c)Jurisdiction. Subject to Section 11(a) above, by accepting (or being deemed to have accepted) an Award, each Participant agrees or will be deemed to have agreed to (a) submit
irrevocably and unconditionally to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located within the geographic boundaries of the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the Plan or any Award; (b) not commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the Plan or an Award, except in the federal and state courts located within the geographic boundaries of the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire; and (c) waive, and not assert, by way of motion as a defense or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that he or she is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts that his or her property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that the Plan or an Award or the subject matter thereof may not be enforced in or by such court.
EXHIBIT A
Definition of Terms
The following terms, when used in the Plan, will have the meanings and be subject to the provisions set forth below:
“Administrator”: The Compensation Committee, except that the Compensation Committee may delegate (i) to one or more of its members (or one or more other members of the Board (including the full Board)) such of its duties, powers and responsibilities as it may determine; (ii) to one or more persons or bodies the power to grant Awards to the extent permitted by Section 152(b) or Section 157(c) of the Delaware General Corporate Law; and (iii) to such Employees or other persons as it determines such ministerial tasks as it deems appropriate.

In the case of any other
Participant, “Cause” will mean, as determined by the Administrator in its reasonable judgment, (i) a substantial failure of the Participant to perform the Participant’s duties and responsibilities to the Company or any of its Affiliates or substantial negligence in the performance of such duties and responsibilities; (ii) the commission by the Participant of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; (iii) the commission by the Participant of theft, fraud, embezzlement, material breach of trust or any material act of dishonesty involving the Company or any of its Affiliates; (iv) a significant violation by the Participant of the Code of Ethics or Code of Ethics for Senior Financial & Executive Officers of the Company or its Affiliates, of any other material policy of the Company or its Affiliates or of any statutory or common law duty of loyalty to the Company or its Affiliates; (v) a material breach of any of the terms of the Plan or any Award made under the Plan, or of the terms of any other agreement between the Company or Affiliates and the Participant; or (vi) other conduct by the Participant that could be expected to be harmful to the business, interests or reputation of the Company or its Affiliates.
“Change in Control”: The first to occur of any of the following events:

(ii) The consummation of the merger or consolidation of the Company with any other company, other than (a) a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, more than 60% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation and (b) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) after which no “person” “beneficially owns” (with the determination of such “beneficial ownership” on the same basis as set forth in clause (i) of this definition) securities of the Company or the surviving entity of such merger or consolidation representing 40% or more of the combined voting power of the securities of the Company or the surviving entity of such merger or consolidation;
(iii) If during any period of two (2) consecutive years (not including any period prior to the date the Plan was initially adopted), individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who has conducted or threatened a proxy contest, or has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clause (i), (ii) or (iv) of this definition) whose election by the
Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office, who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; or
(iv) The complete liquidation of the Company or the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any amount constituting “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A would become payable under the Plan, or the time or form of payment under the Plan would be affected, by reason of a Change in Control or a termination of employment following a Change in Control, to the extent necessary to avoid adverse tax consequences under Section 409A, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred unless the event or circumstances constituting the Change in Control would also constitute a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets, within the meaning of Code subsection Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
“Code”: The U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as from time to time amended and in effect, or any successor statute as from time to time in effect.
“Company”: Planet Fitness, Inc.
“Compensation Committee”: The Compensation Committee of the Board.
“Covered Transaction”: Any of (i) a consolidation, merger, or similar transaction or series of related transactions, including a sale or other disposition of stock, in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or that results in the acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s then outstanding common stock by a single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all the Company’s assets, (iii) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or (iv) any other similar transaction the Administrator determines to be a Covered Transaction. Where a Covered Transaction involves a tender offer pursuant to which at least a majority of the Company’s then outstanding common stock is purchased by a single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert that is reasonably expected to be followed by a merger described in clause (i) (as determined by the Administrator), the Covered Transaction shall be deemed to have occurred upon consummation of the tender offer.
“Date of Adoption”: The date the Plan is approved by the Board.
“Director”: A member of the Board who is not an Employee.
“Disability”: In the case of any Participant who is party to an effective employment or severance-benefit agreement with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company that contains a definition of “Disability,” the definition set forth in such agreement will apply with respect to such Participant under the Plan for so long as such agreement is in effect. In the case of any other Participant, a permanent disability as defined in the long-term disability plan maintained by the Company or one of its Affiliates, or as defined from time to time by the Company in its sole
discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any case in which a benefit that constitutes or includes “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A would be payable by reason of Disability, the term “Disability” will mean a disability described in Section 1.409A-3(i)(4)(i)(A) of the Treasury Regulations.
“Employee”: Any person who is employed by the Company or an Affiliate.
“Employment”: A Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Company or an Affiliate. Employment will be deemed to continue, unless the Administrator expressly provides otherwise either at the time an Award is granted or at any time thereafter, so long as the Participant is employed by, or otherwise is providing services in a capacity described in Section 5 of the Plan to the Company or an Affiliate. If a Participant’s employment or other service relationship is with an Affiliate and that entity ceases to be an Affiliate, the Participant’s Employment will be deemed to have terminated when the entity ceases to be an Affiliate unless the Participant transfers Employment to the Company or its remaining Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing and the definition of “Affiliate” above, in construing the provisions of any Award relating to the payment of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (subject to Section 409A) upon a termination or cessation of Employment, references to termination or cessation of employment, separation from service, retirement or similar or correlative terms will be construed to require a “separation from service” (as that term is defined in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations, after giving effect to the presumptions contained therein) from the Company and from all other corporations and trades or businesses, if any, that would be treated as a single “service recipient” with the Company under Section 1.409A-1(h)(3) of the Treasury Regulations. The Company may, but need not, elect in writing, subject to the applicable limitations under Section 409A, any of the special elective rules prescribed in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations for purposes of determining whether a “separation from service” has occurred. Any such written election will be deemed a part of the Plan.
“Fair Market Value”: As of a particular date, (i) the closing price for a share of Stock reported on the New York Stock Exchange (or any other national securities exchange on which the Stock is then listed) for that date or, if no closing price is reported for that date, the closing price on the immediately preceding date on which a closing price was reported or (ii) in the event that the Stock is not traded on a national securities exchange, the fair market value of a share of Stock determined by the Administrator consistent with the rules of Section 422 and Section 409A, to the extent applicable.
“ISO”: A Stock Option intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422. Each Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan will be treated as providing by its terms that it is to be an NSO unless, as of the date of grant, it is expressly designated as an ISO in the applicable Award agreement.
“NSO”: A Stock Option that is not intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422.
“Participant”: A person who is granted an Award under the Plan.

This agreement (this “Agreement”) evidences an award (the “Award”) of restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units”) granted by Planet Fitness, Inc. (the “Company”) to the undersigned (the “Grantee”) pursuant to and subject to the terms of the Planet Fitness, Inc. 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”).
1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. On the grant date set forth above (the “Grant Date”) the Company granted to the Grantee an award consisting of the right to receive, without payment but subject to the terms and conditions provided herein and in the Plan, one share of Stock (a “Share”) with respect to each Restricted Stock Unit forming part of the Award, in each case, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7 of the Plan in respect of transactions occurring after the date hereof. The Restricted Stock Units are granted to the Grantee in connection with the Grantee’s service as a non-employee director with the Company.
2. Vesting, etc. The Award shall vest in full on the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date or the next annual meeting of shareholders (“Vesting Date”), subject to the Grantee’s continued service as a member of the Board through such date. If the Grantee’s service as a member of the Board ceases for any reason prior to the Vesting Date, the Award, to the extent not already vested, will be automatically and immediately forfeited for no consideration.
3. Delivery of Shares. Subject to Section 5 below, the Company shall, as soon as practicable upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units (but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year in which such Restricted Stock Units vest), effect delivery of the Shares with respect to such vested Restricted Stock Units to the Grantee. No Shares will be issued pursuant to this Award unless and until all legal requirements applicable to the issuance or transfer of such Shares have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Administrator.
4. Dividends; Other Rights. The Award shall not be interpreted to bestow upon the Grantee any equity interest or ownership in the Company prior to the date on which the Company actually delivers Shares to the Grantee (if any). The Grantee is not entitled to vote any Shares by reason of the granting of this Award or to receive or be credited with any dividends declared and payable on any Share prior to the date on which any such Share is delivered to the Grantee hereunder. The Grantee shall have the rights of a shareholder only as to those Shares, if any, that are actually delivered under this Award.
5. Forfeiture; Recovery of Compensation.
(a) The Administrator may cancel, rescind, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict the Award at any time if the Grantee is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Agreement and the Plan.
(b) By accepting, or being deemed to have accepted, the Award, the Grantee expressly acknowledges and agrees that his or her rights (and those of any permitted transferee) under the Award, including to any Shares acquired under the Award or any proceeds from the disposition thereof, are subject to Section 6(a)(5) of the Plan (including any successor provision). Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed as limiting the general application of Section 9 of this Agreement.
6. Nontransferability. Neither the Award nor the Restricted Stock Units may be transferred except in accordance with Section 6(a)(3) of the Plan.
7. Certain Tax Matters.
(a) The Grantee expressly acknowledges and agrees that he or she shall be responsible for satisfying and paying all taxes arising from or due in connection with the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and/or the delivery of any Shares hereunder. The Company shall have no liability or obligation relating to the foregoing.
(b) The Grantee expressly acknowledges that because this Award consists of an unfunded and unsecured promise by the Company to deliver Shares in the future, subject to the terms hereof, it is not possible to make a so-called “83(b) election” with respect to the Award.
(c) The Award is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A and the Plan and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company or any of its Affiliates be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Grantee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.
8. Effect on Service. Neither the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, nor the delivery of Shares upon vesting of the Award, will give the Grantee any right to be retained in the service of the Company or any of its Affiliates, affect the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to discharge or discipline the Grantee at any time, or affect any right of the Grantee to terminate his or her service at any time.
9. Provisions of the Plan. This Agreement is subject in its entirety to the provisions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Plan as in effect on the Grant Date has been made available to the Grantee. By accepting, or being deemed to have accepted, the Award, the Grantee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.
10. Acknowledgements. By accepting, or being deemed to have accepted, the Award, the Grantee agrees to be bound by, and agrees that the Award and the Restricted Stock Units are subject in all respects to, the terms of the Plan. The Grantee further acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, (ii) this Agreement may be executed and exchanged using facsimile, portable document format (PDF) or electronic signature, which, in each case, shall constitute an original signature for all purposes hereunder and (iii) such signature by the Company will be binding against the Company and will create a legally binding agreement when this Agreement is countersigned by the Grantee.

(the “Company”) to the undersigned (the “Grantee”) pursuant to and subject to the terms of the Planet Fitness, Inc. 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”).
1. Grant of [INSERT TYPE OF UNITS]. On the grant date set forth above (the “Grant Date”) the Company granted to the Grantee an award consisting of the right to receive, without payment but subject to the terms and conditions provided herein and in the Plan, one share of Stock (a “Share”) with respect to each [INSERT TYPE OF UNITS] forming part of the Award, in each case, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7 of the Plan in respect of transactions occurring after the date hereof. The [INSERT TYPE OF UNITS] are granted to the Grantee in connection with the Grantee’s Employment with the Company.
2. Vesting, etc. [INSERT TIME BASED OR PERFORMANCE BASED VESTING CONDITIONS AND SCHEDULE, AS APPLICABLE] subject to the Grantee’s continued Employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date. If the Grantee’s Employment with the Company ceases for any reason, except as expressly provided for in the Plan or in a written employment or severance agreement between the Grantee and the Company (or a severance plan under which the Grantee has been designated as a participant entitled to receive benefits) that is in effect at the time of such termination, the Award, to the extent not already vested, will be automatically and immediately forfeited for no consideration.
3. Delivery of Shares. Subject to Section 5 below, the Company shall, as soon as practicable upon the vesting of the [INSERT TYPE OF UNITS] (but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year in which such [INSERT TYPE OF UNITS] vest), effect delivery of the Shares with respect to such vested [INSERT TYPE OF UNITS] to the Grantee. No Shares will be issued pursuant to this Award unless and until all legal requirements applicable to the issuance or transfer of such Shares have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Administrator.
4. Dividends; Other Rights. The Award shall not be interpreted to bestow upon the Grantee any equity interest or ownership in the Company prior to the date on which the Company actually delivers Shares to the Grantee (if any). The Grantee is not entitled to vote
any Shares by reason of the granting of this Award or to receive or be credited with any dividends declared and payable on any Share prior to the date on which any such Share is delivered to the Grantee hereunder. The Grantee shall have the rights of a shareholder only as to those Shares, if any, that are actually delivered under this Award.
5. Forfeiture; Recovery of Compensation.
(a) The Administrator may cancel, rescind, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict the Award at any time if the Grantee is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Agreement and the Plan.
(b) By accepting, or being deemed to have accepted, the Award, the Grantee expressly acknowledges and agrees that his or her rights (and those of any permitted transferee) under the Award, including to any Shares acquired under the Award or any proceeds from the disposition thereof, are subject to Section 6(a)(5) of the Plan (including any successor provision). The Grantee further agrees to be bound by the terms of any clawback or recoupment policy or policies of the Company that apply to incentive compensation that includes Awards such as the [INSERT TYPE OF UNITS]. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed as limiting the general application of Section 9 of this Agreement.
6. Nontransferability. Neither the Award nor the [INSERT TYPE OF UNITS] may be transferred except in accordance with Section 6(a)(3) of the Plan.

No Shares will be transferred pursuant to the vesting of the [INSERT TYPE OF UNITS] unless and until the Grantee has remitted to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state or local withholding tax requirements, or has made other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator with respect to such taxes. The Company may require the Grantee to satisfy the Grantee’s withholding tax obligations hereunder by instructing and authorizing the Company and the brokerage firm determined acceptable to (or designated by) the Company for such purpose to sell on the Grantee’s behalf a whole number of Shares from those Shares otherwise deliverable to the Grantee hereunder as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy such withholding tax obligations. In such a case, the Grantee shall be solely responsible for all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the services provided by such brokerage firm. The Grantee authorizes the Company and its Affiliates to withhold any such amounts from any amounts otherwise owed to the Grantee, but nothing in this paragraph shall
be construed as relieving the Grantee of any liability for satisfying his or her obligations under the preceding provisions of this Section. The Company shall have no liability or obligation relating to the foregoing.
(b) The Grantee expressly acknowledges that because this Award consists of an unfunded and unsecured promise by the Company to deliver Shares in the future, subject to the terms hereof, it is not possible to make a so-called “83(b) election” with respect to the Award.
(c) The Award is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A and the Plan and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent.

8. Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of the [INSERT TYPE OF UNITS], nor the delivery of Shares upon vesting of the Award, will give the Grantee any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Affiliates, affect the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to discharge or discipline the Grantee at any time, or affect any right of the Grantee to terminate his or her employment at any time.
9. Provisions of the Plan. This Agreement is subject in its entirety to the provisions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Plan as in effect on the Grant Date has been made available to the Grantee. By accepting, or being deemed to have accepted, the Award, the Grantee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.

Grantee’s employment in accordance with their terms, and that the Grantee has complied with and will continue to comply with the terms of the Clawback Policies.

Planet Fitness, Inc.
2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan
Non-statutory Stock Option Agreement
This agreement (the “Agreement”) evidences a stock option granted by Planet Fitness, Inc. (the “Company”) to the undersigned (the “Optionee”), pursuant to and subject to the terms of the Planet Fitness, Inc. 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”).
1.Grant of Stock Option. The Company grants to the Optionee on the date set forth above (the “Date of Grant”) an option (the “Stock Option”) to purchase, on the terms provided herein and in the Plan, up to the number of shares of Stock set forth above (the “Shares”) with an exercise price per Share as set forth above, in each case subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7 of the Plan in respect of transactions occurring after the date hereof.
The Stock Option evidenced by this Agreement is a non-statutory option (that is, an option that is not intended to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code) and is granted to the Optionee in connection with the Optionee’s employment by the Company and its qualifying subsidiaries. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, “qualifying subsidiary” means a subsidiary of the Company as to which the Company has a “controlling interest” as described in Treas. Regs. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(iii)(E)(1).
2.Meaning of Certain Terms. Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein have the same meaning as in the Plan.
3.Vesting; Method of Exercise; Treatment of the Stock Option upon Cessation of Employment.
(a)Vesting. As used herein with respect to the Stock Option or any portion thereof, the term “vest” means to become exercisable and the term “vested” as applied to the Stock Option (or any portion thereof) means that the Stock Option (or portion thereof) is then exercisable, subject in each case to the terms of the Plan. Unless earlier terminated, forfeited, relinquished or expired, the Stock Option will vest as to one-fourth (1/4) of the Shares subject to the Stock Option on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Date of Grant (each, a “vesting anniversary date” and the fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant, the “final vesting anniversary date”). The number of Shares that vest on any of the foregoing dates will be rounded down to the nearest whole Share, with the Stock Option becoming vested as to 100% of the Shares on the final vesting anniversary date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shares subject to the Stock Option shall not vest on any vesting anniversary date unless the Optionee has remained in continuous Employment with the Company from the Date of Grant through the applicable vesting anniversary date.
(b)Exercise of the Stock Option. No portion of the Stock Option may be exercised until such portion vests. Each election to exercise any vested portion of the Stock Option will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and shall be in writing or electronic form acceptable to the Administrator, signed (including by electronic signature) by the Optionee or a permitted transferee, if any (or in such other form as is acceptable to the Administrator). Each such exercise election must be received by the Company at its principal office or by such other party as the Administrator may prescribe and be accompanied by payment in full as provided in the Plan. The exercise price may be paid (i) by cash or check acceptable to the Administrator, (ii) to the extent permitted by the Administrator, through a broker-assisted cashless exercise program acceptable to the Administrator, (iii) by such other means, if any, as may be acceptable to the Administrator, or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing permissible forms of payment. In the event that the Stock Option is exercised by a person other than the Optionee, the Company will be under no obligation to deliver the Shares unless and until it is satisfied as to the authority of such person to exercise the Stock Option and compliance with applicable securities laws. The latest date on which the Stock Option or any portion thereof may be exercised will be the 10th anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Final Exercise Date”). If the Stock Option is not exercised by the Final Exercise Date, the Stock Option or any remaining portion thereof will thereupon immediately terminate.
(c)Treatment of the Stock Option upon Cessation of Employment. If the Optionee’s Employment ceases, except as expressly provided for in the Plan or in a written employment or severance agreement between the Optionee and the Company (or a severance plan under which the Optionee has been designated as a participant entitled to receive benefits) that is in effect at the time of such termination, the Stock Option, to the extent not already vested will be immediately forfeited for no consideration, and any vested portion of the Stock Option that is then outstanding will be treated as follows:
(i)Subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) below, the Stock Option to the extent vested immediately prior to the cessation of the Optionee’s Employment will remain exercisable until the earlier of (A) three months following the date of such cessation of Employment, or (B) the Final Exercise Date, and except to the extent previously exercised as permitted by this Section 3(c)(i) will thereupon immediately terminate.
(ii)Subject to clause (iii) below, the Stock Option, to the extent vested immediately prior to the cessation of the Optionee’s Employment due to his or her death or due to the termination of the Optionee’s Employment by the Company due to his or her Disability, will remain exercisable until the earlier of (A) one year following the date of such cessation of Employment, or (B) the Final Exercise Date, and except to the extent previously exercised as permitted by this Section 3(c)(ii) will thereupon immediately terminate.
(iii)The Stock Option (whether or not vested) will terminate and be forfeited immediately prior to the cessation of the Optionee’s Employment if the Optionee’s Employment is terminated for Cause or if the cessation of the Optionee’s Employment occurs in circumstances that in the sole determination of the Administrator would have constituted grounds for the Participant’s Employment to be terminated for Cause.
4.Forfeiture; Recovery of Compensation.
(a)The Administrator may cancel, rescind, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict the Stock Option at any time if the Optionee is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Plan.
(b)By accepting, or being deemed to have accepted, the Stock Option, the Optionee expressly acknowledges and agrees that his or her rights (and those of any permitted transferee), under the Stock Option, including to any Shares acquired under the Stock Option or proceeds from the disposition thereof, are subject to Section 6(a)(5) of the Plan (including any successor provision). The Optionee further agrees to be bound by the terms of any clawback or recoupment policy or policies of the Company that apply to incentive compensation that includes Awards such as the Stock Option. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed as limiting the general application of Section 8 of this Agreement.
5.Transfer of Stock Option. The Stock Option may not be transferred except as expressly permitted under Section 6(a)(3) of the Plan.
6.Withholding. The Optionee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Optionee’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued Shares upon exercise, are subject to the Optionee promptly paying to the Company in cash (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion) all taxes required to be withheld. No Shares will be transferred pursuant to the exercise of this Stock Option unless and until the person exercising this Stock Option has remitted to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state or local withholding tax requirements, or has made other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator with respect to such taxes. The Company may require the Optionee to satisfy the Optionee’s withholding tax obligations hereunder by instructing and authorizing the Company and the brokerage firm determined acceptable to (or designated by) the Company for such purpose to sell on the Optionee’s behalf a whole number of Shares from those Shares otherwise deliverable to the Optionee hereunder as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy such withholding tax obligations. In such a case, the Optionee shall be solely responsible for all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the services provided by such brokerage firm. The Optionee authorizes the Company and its Affiliates to withhold any such amounts from any amounts otherwise owed to the Optionee, but nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as relieving the Optionee of any liability for satisfying his or her obligations under the preceding provisions of this Section.
7.Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of the Stock Option, nor the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Stock Option, will give the Optionee any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Affiliates, affect the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to discharge or discipline such Optionee at any time, or affect any right of such Optionee to terminate his or her Employment at any time.
8.Provisions of the Plan. This Agreement is subject in its entirety to the provisions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Plan as in effect on the Date of Grant has been made available to the Optionee. By accepting, or being deemed to have accepted, the Stock Option, the Optionee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.
9.Acknowledgements. By accepting, or being deemed to have accepted, the Stock Option, the Optionee agrees to be bound by, and agrees that the Stock Option is subject in all respects to, the terms of the Plan. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument, (ii) this Agreement may be executed and exchanged using facsimile, portable document format (PDF) or electronic signature, which, in each case, shall constitute an original signature for all purposes hereunder and (iii) such signature by the Company will be binding against the Company and will create a legally binding agreement when this Agreement is countersigned by the Optionee. By executing this Agreement, the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Optionee has received and understands the Company’s Executive Compensation Recoupment Policy, the Company’s Policy for Recoupment of Incentive Compensation or any other Company policy that provides for the clawback of compensation (as any such policy may be amended, amended and restated or superseded from time to time, the “Clawback Policies”), that the Clawback Policies apply and will continue to apply to the Optionee during and after the Optionee’s employment in accordance with their terms and that the Optionee has complied with and will continue to comply with the terms of the Clawback Policies.
