Submitting our income tax information is not the way that most of us would like to spend our free time, but once you’ve completed the process, Planet Fitness hopes you’ll forget the financial stuff and favor a free massage and full body workout. Here’s what you need to know.
Through to Saturday, April 19, the gym chain is taking the terror out of Tax Day by offering an absolutely free HydroMassage to members and non-members alike. Subject to availability, you can redeem this offer at one of Planet Fitness’s 2,700-plus locations nationwide, with no strings (or hidden taxes) attached!
As a regular amenity for Planet Fitness “Black Card® members, HydroMassage offers a relaxing experience that can be used before or after a workout to relieve tight muscles or cool them down. The bed’s jets move up and down the body, delivering wave-like streams of heated water. Users can target specific areas, adjust the pressure, control the speed, and even pause on a desired section of the body for a personalized massage experience.
