Planet Fitness to open in Medicine Hat Walmart in the fall

Mike Shapiro, senior vice-president of operations with IGNITE Fitness Holdings, said the goal is to create a welcoming space for people at all stages of their fitness journey.

“At Planet Fitness, we believe fitness should feel welcoming, encouraging and accessible to everyone,” Shapiro said in a statement.

“We’re excited to bring that experience to Medicine Hat and create a place where people can show up as they are, work toward their goals at their own pace and build healthy habits in a supportive environment.”

The company says the location inside Walmart is intended to provide added convenience for residents looking to fit exercise into their daily routines.

Shapiro said the club is designed to meet the needs of people starting a new fitness routine, returning to exercise or simply looking for a place to stay active.

“Whether someone is working out for the first time, getting back into a fitness routine or simply looking for a welcoming place to stay active, we’re excited to bring Medicine Hat a fitness experience designed to support people wherever they are in their journey,” Shapiro said in a statement.

The Medicine Hat location is part of Planet Fitness’ continued expansion across Canada.
