When is Planet Fitness reopening in New Jersey?

New Jersey gyms and fitness centers have been closed since mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The state shifted into Stage 2 of Gov. Phil Murphys multi-phased reopening plan on Monday, for which amongst other changes restaurants and bars were allowed to reopen for outdoor dining and nonessential retail stores for shopping at 50% capacity. Stage 2 will further progress this coming Monday, upon which date hair salons and other personal care businesses are permitted to resume operations.

Gyms and fitness centers are also expected to reopen in Stage 2, although the governor has not made an announcement on dates or restrictions. He stated during his coronavirus press briefing on Tuesday that reopening indoor spaces is harder especially because a second wave of the coronavirus is likely inevitable.

If you bat 1,000, this virus, by its very nature, is going to come back, Gov. Murphy said.

According a message posted on Planet Fitnesss website, team members are conducting regular and thorough cleaning of all equipment, surfaces, and areas of the gym. In addition, several changes will be implemented at each club upon its reopening, including checking the temperatures of team members when they arrive to work each day, 20-minute walk arounds performed by the gyms staff to continually clean and sanitize high-touch areas, and the banning of the use of certain pieces of cardio equipment to create additional distance between members.

Moreover, all members are encouraged to download the Planet Fitness mobile app to allow for a touchless check-in process upon their gyms reopening.

As our locations begin to reopen, nothing is more important than your health, and the health of our staff, Chris Rondeau, the CEO of Planet Fitness, said in a video posted alongside the message. Thats why were taking a thoughtful, phased approach based on local official guidelines.
