A securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed against Planet Fitness, Inc. on behalf of investors who purchased the company's securities. The lawsuit alleges that Planet Fitness made positive statements about its marketing campaign and a planned Black Card price increase while concealing that its pivot toward fitness-minded consumers was alienating its core demographic of beginners and casual gym-goers, causing a significant headwind in net member joins during the peak first-quarter sign-up period. On May 7, 2026, the company reported slower-than-expected first-quarter results, cut full-year 2026 same-store growth guidance from 4-5% to 1%, withdrew its long-term three-year growth algorithm, and paused the national rollout of the Black Card price increase. Following this news, Planet Fitness shares fell $19.95, or over 31%, from $63.96 on May 6, 2025 to close at $44.01 on May 7, 2026. Investors have until September 14, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.
