Danielle Belcher, the fitness center's manager, said: "We are a judgment-free zone. They met here, so why not?"

JACKSON TWP. Thesparks (and some sweat) flew when Sara Hatch and Keith Henderson met inside Planet Fitness.

They're still flying as the pair opted for an unusual wedding venue, getting married Thursday night inside the workout center at 4317 Whipple Ave. NW.

"This is special," said Henderson said. "We actually don't work out here anymore. We were always here at the same time."

The wedding was a first for the local Planet Fitness franchise.

"They met here four years ago today," said Donielle Belcher, the center's manager. "We have never had one happen here. She told me what the situation was. I did talk to my owner to make sure it was OK. We are a judgment-free zone. They met here, so why not?"

Henderson was dressed in a white tuxedo T-shirt. Hatch had on white shorts and a white sleeveless top. She also wore a white veil. This is her third marriage while it is Henderson's second.

Having the wedding inside Planet Fitness "was my idea," Hatch, 39, said. "This is where we met. This is where we fell in love. We still work out. We are into (weight) lifting. Why not get married in a gym if it is one of our hobbies?"

The couple exchanged wedding vows at one of the weight-lifting stations. Libby Ginther, a friend of the couple, officiated at the ceremony.

"They wrote their own vows," said Ginther, who is an ordained minister. Her husband, Mark Ginther, also attended the wedding ceremony.

"It is definitely original," Mark Ginther said of having a wedding inside a gym.

The 9 p.m. ceremony took place while dozens of Planet Fitness members occupied themselves on treadmills and in the 30-minute express workout area. One customer, Skyler Chill, was surprised to hear that a wedding was about to occur.

"I had no idea," Chill said. "I didn't know people got married in gyms. .... I appreciate that."

The wedding party was small. It included Ryan Zentkovich, Hatch's 13-year-old son.

"There is only going to be a handful of people here that we know," Henderson said. "It was meant to be small."

The couple lives in Massillon.

"We think it is fun," said Belcher. "You have to have some kind of excitement around sometime."
