The High School Summer Pass initiative aims to motivate high schoolers to stay active and make fitness a priority.
A Planet Fitness study found that 93% of American teens want to stay active over the summer, but lack motivation and access.
The High School Summer Pass is a solution for teenagers that are eager to stay active once school sports programs, gym classes and school activities end.
Chris Rondeau, chief executive officer at Planet Fitness, said: "As the leader in fitness, we believe we have a responsibility to provide a welcoming, safe, and judgment-free environment for high school students to improve their physical and mental wellness."
