Planet Fitness in Seattle.

Planet Fitness in Seattle

Seattle is home to several fitness clubs among which is the popular Planet Fitness. With its unique mantra as a judgment-free zone offering good value for less money, Planet Fitness in Seattle is expectedly about the most used in the area.

We’ll take a look at three Planet fitness clubs in the area, mainly differentiated not by anything else other than their locations. These clubs of interest are those in the following locations:

  1. Aurora Avenue,
  2. Rainier Beach, and
  3. Bothell Way Seattle.

People particularly love the clean and spacious gym environment and the parking lot that makes parking so much stress-free in these locations.

Planet Fitness in Aurora Avenue, Seattle.

It’s located at 13201 Aurora Avenue, Seattle, WA 98133, just opposite a spacious parking lot. Adjacent to it is a cosmetic store, Ulta Beauty, which is one of the franchises at the Aurora shopping center.

Membership plans and pricing.

Planet Fitness Club in Aurora, Seattle, offers you two membership plans with pricing that’s similar to other Planet Fitness centers in Washington. It has no separate No-membership plan since the two available plans come with the no-membership feature as shown in Table 1 below.

Some time ago, you don’t pay for a startup fee when enrolling as a black card member but now you get billed $1 for that. You are billed $49 as a startup for the classic membership plan and that hasn’t yet changed. The monthly fees for both plans are the same as those of most Planet Fitness clubs in any other place. You pay $24.99 for a black card monthly and $10 for classic membership. For $24.99 you enjoy a lot of perks including the awesome Beauty Angel total body enhancement machine.

The annual fees for both plans used to be $39 but have been increased to $49. You get billed for this after the 1st of any month within 60 days from your sign-up date. You get billed at the same time every year irrespective of your membership plan unless you change the plan.

Planet Fitness Aurora Seattle hours.

A lot of gyms are open 24/7 for the week but not all Planet Fitness clubs and the one at Aurora is one of them. 24-hour service is only available from Tuesdays to Thursdays each week.

On Monday it opens at 5:00 a.m. and closes just before midnight at 11:59 p.m. as shown in Table 2 below. On Fridays, it runs from midnight and closes 2 hours before midnight at 10:00 p.m. The club maintains stable weekend hours as it opens at 6:00 a.m. and closes at 9:00 p.m. on both Saturdays and Sundays.

Its regular hours are maintained during the following holidays:

  • Easter,
  • Memorial days,
  • Independence Days, and
  • Labor Days.

So, if you are a Planet Fitness black card holder and your local club is closed on such days, Planet Fitness Club at Aurora is the place to be. This is because access to any Planet Fitness location is one of the perks you enjoy being a black card member.

There is no 24-hour service on Thanksgiving Thursdays as the gym closes at noon but reopens at 7:00 a.m. the next day. The same closing time applies on Christmas Eve but it’s closed all day on Christmas Day, the 25th of December. The 7:00 a.m. reopening time applies on Boxing Day.

On New Year’s Eve, 31st of December, the club closes at 5:00 p.m. and reopens by 7:00 a.m. New Year’s Day. I’ll expect most people who show up as early as 7:00 a.m. on New Year’s Day to be staff of Planet Fitness because of the New Year’s vigil or celebrations that keep a lot of people up through the night.

Best times to work out.

The weekends after 8 p.m. are currently the freest times at the Planet Fitness Aurora Club. It used to be most busy from Thursday to Friday evenings but that has spread throughout the week. Your best time to work out has a lot to do with a couple of factors:

  • Your daily office schedule,
  • Your Planet Fitness membership plan,
  • Your fitness goals, and
  • Your preferred gym environment concerning crowds.

You’ll need to take into consideration your schedule or hours of your day job. We all know workouts are not possible during office hours. So, you may look towards weekends if your work and other engagements make it difficult for you to go to the gym during weekdays.

If, as a novice gym member, you are in frequent need of the attention of trainers, you may go when there is less crowd. At such times the trainers will have fewer members to cater to and give you the attention you need. Given this, the weekends may be the most suitable time for you.

If I were a black card member of the gym and wanted to enjoy certain perks I may opt for the weekends if one has to join a queue to access the equipment when there is a crowd.

Nonetheless, the gym is spacious and has adequate training tools for everyone. No matter how busy it gets, you’ll usually find what you need for your workouts.

Planet Fitness in Rainier Beach, Seattle.

It’s located at 9000 Rainier Avenue S. Seattle, WA 98118. Adjacent to it is a Dollar Tree store for all your party supplies. In front of it is a spacious parking lot which is a common feature of many Planet Fitness locations. This should make parking a lot easier and stress-free.

Membership plans and pricing.

The available membership plans and pricing for Planet Fitness at Rainier Beach are the same as those for the club at Aurora Avenue. As a result, it’s needless to repeat the same table here.

The two plans are the black card membership and the classic membership. They are both no-commitment plans. You pay no start-up fees on the black card plan but part with $49 on buying into the classic membership plan, etc.

For updates on any price changes, you could contact them through their customer care phone number: (206) 257-3655.

Planet Fitness, Rainier Beach, hours.

Just as the membership plans and pricing are the same as those for Aurora Avenue Club, so are the business hours. It runs 24-hour service on weekdays except for Mondays and Fridays just like the Aurora club. The weekend business hours are similar to the latter, and so are the holiday hours.

For full details of the business hours of Planet Fitness Rainier Beach Club please refer to the table on the Aurora Avenue club hours above.

Best times to work out.

It just happens the level of use or activity pattern is similar to that for Aurora Avenue. Therefore, the similarities in their business hours don’t come as a surprise. The weekends remain the freest days whereas weekdays are the busiest.

The busiest days at the gym used to be specifically Thursdays and Fridays but it’s now busy all week. You can be sure of the availability of neat training equipment at whatever time or day you choose to have your workout.

The weekends are the best times if you don’t like crowds. Crowds may also determine how long you may have to wait to use certain perks that are limited in supply. For that reason, weekends may also be right for you if you are a black cardholder in need of that equipment.

If you love to meet up and train with others then avoid going on weekends.

Planet Fitness Bothell Way, hours.

The Bothell Way Club operates on unique regular business hours that are quite distinct from the two other Planet Fitness clubs discussed earlier. There are two sets of business hours. One is for the weekdays and the second is for the weekends.

  • Weekday hours: 5:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.
  • Weekend hours: 7:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.

From Table 4 above, you’ll also find a consistent pattern in its business hours during the holidays except for Christmas and New Year holidays. On Thanksgiving Day it closes at noon which is an hour earlier than it closes in the holidays before it.

It closes at 1:00 p.m. and reopens by 5:00 a.m. the following day on each of the following holidays:

  • Easter,
  • Memorial Day,
  • Independence Day, and
  • Labor Day.

The Christmas holiday spans 3 days. It followed its usual timing pattern by closing at 1:00 p.m. on the first day of the holiday and reopening by 5:00 a.m. the next day after Christmas. It doesn’t open on the 25th of December. Businesses don’t open on Christmas days and I don’t see any reason why they should unless they are military or social security outfits.

On New Year’s Eve, it closes at 1:00 p.m. as usual but reopens at 7:00 a.m. the next day rather than 5:00 a.m.

Best times to work out.

Thursdays and Fridays used to be the days you see the most people at the gym but crowds are now more evenly spread out throughout the weekdays. You could meet up and interact with other members on these days.

There is a chance you could have the whole gym all to yourself if you go for your workout on Saturdays and Sundays after 8 p.m. and weekdays after 9 p.m. I understand this could be boring for some people, however, if you are one of those who don’t enjoy crowds then go at such times.
