Planet Fitness recently offered new Classic and Black Card members up to three free months of Apple Music with a $1 down sign-up, alongside nationwide in-club 90s Night events at more than 600 locations in July. The collaboration underscores the company's focus on pairing low-cost memberships with lifestyle perks to attract music-driven, experience-seeking gym-goers. However, the promotion does not materially change the key near-term swing factor of whether higher churn from easier online cancellations stabilizes or persists as a drag on recurring membership revenue. The recent appointment of Sudhanshu Priyadarshi as both President, International and CFO is seen as more relevant for the investment thesis, as it speaks directly to how Planet Fitness manages international expansion and franchise economics. Planet Fitness' narrative projects $1.7 billion revenue and $328.6 million earnings by 2029, yielding a $66.64 fair value, a 21% upside to its current price.
