Planet Fitness: Free Teen Memberships

Planet Fitness is offering free teen memberships, good from May 15th to September 1st. Teens ages 15-18 can participate at any of the chain’s 1,700 locations. Free fitness classes specifically for teens will be available Monday through Friday via certified fitness trainers or they can work out on their own.

Additionally, anyone who signs up will be automatically entered into the Planet Fitness Scholarship Sweepstakes. 51 students—one from each state and DC—will be randomly selected to receive a $500 scholarship. A $5,000 grand prize will go to one winner. 

Teens under 18 need to have a parent present to register. 

National Pretzel Day Freebies on 4/26

National Pretzel Day is this Friday, 4/26. Celebrate by picking up a FREE pretzel at any of these restaurants:

Ben’s Soft Pretzels

Wetzel’s Pretzels

Philly Pretzel Factory

Pretzelmaker

Also, keep an eye out for local deals. Smaller places may not advertise them, but that doesn’t mean they’re not available. My favorite coffee shop gave away mini chocolate covered pretzels in 2018 with any order—no matter how small.
