Popular gym opening a new location in Monmouth County

We’re entering the holiday season, which means we’re going to be a little more indulgent than we are the rest of the year.

Large meals, adult beverages, and desserts like pies are going to be served… so we’re going to want to counteract that with a good workout to get rid of the inevitable pounds.

Good news for Monmouth County: a new Planet Fitness is coming soon to Howell.

While there’s no opening date yet announced, we do know where the workout facility will be.

Planet Fitness opening in Howell

The popular fitness chain will open a new gym at Aldrich Plaza off of Route 9.

Planet Fitness prides itself on being a judgment-free facility, creating a non-intimidating, low-cost model that changed the game in the gym industry.

The Howell location will feature the brand’s “Judgement Free Zone.”

That’s exactly the kind of vibe I would want in a gym.

My sister is intimidatingly strong. She’s a CrossFit coach in Baltimore who could throw me across the room if she wanted to (and I’m guessing most days she does but holds incredible restraint). I much prefer the low-key and laid-back energy that Planet Fitness provides.

The more casual, the better.

At Planet Fitness, you’ll find an uplifting and motivating community where you can define progress on your own terms. No matter where you are on your journey, we’ve got you.

You can sign up for a membership on Planet Fitness' website.
