The weekend is a tough act to follow, so by default, Monday has
a lot to prove. But Planet Fitness has a cure for even the strongest case of "The Mondays," and it smells like pepperoni and mozzarella.
The Story Behind Pizza Monday
Planet Fitness Pizza Monday is a tradition that has been going strong since 1999 — the year a club in Concord, NH found themselves without hot water for a few days. Despite the lack of hot showers, members continued to show up to the gym, ready to sweat. As a "thank you," the founders ordered a round of slices for everyone.
The gesture was so well received that it soon became a regular occurrence, and Pizza Monday was born. Soon, Planet Fitness locations all over North America were following suit and offering free pizza on the first Monday night of each month
Then Came Bagel Tuesday
The pizza tradition became so popular that Planet Fitness then introduced Bagel Tuesday, offering morning gym-goers
free bagels on the second Tuesday of the month. What began as a simple display of gratitude has become a fun way for members to meet, gather and
build community — a cornerstone of the club's culture and the spirit upon which Planet Fitness Pizza Monday is built.
