Planet Fitness is expanding its presence in the Halifax area with a new 18,000-square-foot fitness club in Lower Sackville that is expected to open this fall.
The company said the new location will be at 70 First Lake Dr., Unit 201, and will be its third club in the Halifax area, joining existing locations in Halifax and Dartmouth.
The Lower Sackville facility will include cardio, strength and functional training equipment, as well as free fitness training and PF Black Card Spa amenities. Equipment will include treadmills, ellipticals, rowers, free weights, Smith machines and cable towers, with a dedicated area for functional training.
The club will also offer a PF Black Card Spa, where members with the PF Black Card membership can access amenities including HydroMassage, massage chairs, tanning and Total Body Enhancement.
“We’re excited to continue growing our presence in the Halifax area with the addition of our new Lower Sackville location,” said Chrissy Hubbs, Regional Vice President, Canada at Taymax Group, the Planet Fitness franchise group developing the new location. “We’re looking forward to welcoming even more people into an environment where they can feel comfortable working toward their fitness goals, no matter where they are in their fitness journey.”
The company said prospective members can join ahead of the opening under a limited-time pre-opening offer. New members can enrol for $1 and choose a Classic membership for $15 a month or a PF Black Card membership for $24.99 a month, compared with the regular $29.99 monthly price for the latter. The offer is available without a commitment until Sept. 16.
The Lower Sackville location will be the third Planet Fitness club in the Halifax area. The company also has locations in Moncton, Saint John and St. John’s elsewhere in Atlantic Canada.
Planet Fitness said its Classic membership starts at $15 a month, while the PF Black Card membership costs $29.99 a month and includes additional benefits such as the ability to bring a guest at no additional charge, access to more than 2,900 Planet Fitness locations worldwide and use of PF Black Card Spa amenities.
The company said further details about the grand opening of the Lower Sackville location will be announced closer to its opening this fall.
Planet Fitness was founded in 1992 in Dover, N.H. As of March 31, 2026, the company had approximately 21.5 million members and 2,909 clubs across the United States and several other markets, including Canada, Panama, Mexico, Australia and Spain.
Approximately 90 per cent of Planet Fitness clubs are owned and operated by independent business owners, the company said.
