HAMPTON, N.H., /PRNewswire/ — Planet Fitness, one of the largest and fastest-growing franchisors and operators of fitness centers with more members than any other fitness brand, announces its partnership with three-time, Grammy award-winning artist, entrepreneur, philanthropist and health advocate Megan Thee Stallion. The bold new campaign features Megan as ‘Mother Fitness,’ encouraging gym goers to leave behind the barriers, including intimidation and high prices, commonly found at other gyms and join Planet Fitness, home of the Judgement Free Zone®, to find their Big Fitness Energy™.
As a musician who is constantly on the road, Megan prioritizes a fitness routine that’s both mood enhancing and fun, especially as mind and body wellness takes center stage in the new year. The new partnership seamlessly connects the two worlds of music and exercise, which combine to create the ultimate energy boost and manifests in a multi-faceted fully integrated marketing campaign that includes: advertising and commercial spots, a unique AR filter, charitable co-branded merchandise and free in-app Planet Fitness workouts, inspired by Megan and her passion for fitness.

Inspired by a fierce fitness goddess-like persona, Megan is the star of the brand’s ad spots premiering nationwide today. Directed by filmmaker Calmatic, the spot captures her as she senses negative gym behavior and vanquishes it by harnessing the power of the Judgement Free Zone®, a feel-good environment that’s both rewarding and supporting.
In addition, Planet Fitness and Megan have joined forces to create a co-branded exclusive merchandise line available online at the Planet Fitness store website, with all proceeds benefiting the Pete & Thomas Foundation, the non-profit organization Megan founded that focuses on uplifting and assisting women, children, senior citizens, and underserved communities in Houston, Texas and across the world through education, housing, health and wellness.
The limited-edition line includes:
- Crew neck sweatshirts that proudly declare Big Fitness Energy™ for Everybody (-ody-ody)
- Bucket hats and water bottles emblazoned with ‘Real Hot Girl Fit’
- Sticker sheets
Megan shared, “Working out is such an important part of my routine, so this partnership with Planet Fitness genuinely embodies my personal values. We want to encourage everyone to prioritize their physical and mental health heading into the New Year, so they can reach new heights in 2024 and continue to grow into the best version of themselves.”
Planet Fitness is once again a presenting sponsor of the Times Square New Year’s Eve celebration, and to kick off the partnership, Megan will be the first performance of the new year on the Planet Fitness stage in Times Square at this year’s “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024″ airing on ABC.
