Planet Fitness offers free day passes that you can sign up for on their website. You also can get free guest passes if a Black Card member sends you invites from the Planet Fitness app.
I've also walked in for a tour of my local Planet Fitness and asked for a free day pass to try it out. They let me try it out and even test out the Black Card benefits, such as getting free massages in the chairs.
Beyond that, you should follow some best practices when navigating your free day pass for Planet Fitness. If you're new to Planet Fitness, be sure to read the full Planet Fitness review from another writer on our team.

How To Get A Planet Fitness Free Day Pass
The Planet Fitness Free Day Pass differs slightly from the option of getting free day passes from another member, which I'll cover in the next section.
You can obtain a free one-day pass at Planet Fitness by using its website. Type in your location to find the closest gym and enter a few details of personal information. If you haven’t obtained a guest pass in the last 90 days, you qualify for a free pass at Planet Fitness to try it out.
How Long Is the Free Day Pass at Planet Fitness?
The free day pass at Planet Fitness is only one day, but you can use one every 90 days.
With that said, if you know someone who is a PF Black card member, you can tag along with them as much as you like.
Planet Fitness Free Day Pass Policies
Anyone can get a free trial day pass from Planet Fitness — the only requirement is that you live near the gym. You can use a free trial pass every 90 days.
To sign up for your free trial pass, register on Planet Fitness’ website before coming to the gym. Make sure to bring identification and proper workout attire with you.
Keep in mind that a tour of the facility is required before starting your workout, so make sure you show up with enough time to finish the tour and your workout.

How To Get A Planet Fitness Guest Pass
Planet Fitness Black card members are entitled to bring one guest in daily. This means if you have a friend or family member with a membership you could use PF every day for free!
To get a guest pass at Planet Fitness, a PF Black card member will send an invite to you over the Planet Fitness app. This is available to download on the App Storeor Google Play. You will have to enter some basic information and will be given a one-time, scannable digital key tag.
Remember that you can only use the gym WITH the PF Black Card member who brings you in. But, there is no limit to the number of times you can come in, as long as you’re with that Black Card member.
Adding a Guest to the Planet Fitness Mobile App
Sending out a Planet Fitness visitor pass is easy. Any PF Black Card member can send one via the Planet Fitness app by selecting Black Card Guest under the Benefits section on the Home screen. From there, select Invite a PF Black Card® Guest and Add a New Guest.
Your guest will be prompted to complete a very short online registration form and be granted a one-time digital key tag. This key tag enables them to access the facility.
Planet Fitness Guest Pass Policies
All guests must be 18 or older. If they are between the ages of 13 and 17, they must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
Keep in mind that your guest pass does not give you access to Black Card member features, like the tanning areaor massage chairs, but does give you general access to the gym.

Does Planet Fitness Have Paid Day Passes?
A common question I hear from people interested in joining Planet Fitness is, “Does Planet Fitness do day passes?”
Yes, Planet Fitness does day passes. If you don't have a buddy currently working out at Planet Fitness and you’ve used your one-day trial, you can purchase a day-use guest pass.
So, how much is a day pass at Planet Fitness? The day-use guest pass is $20 and not a good option, given that the Classic membership is only $10/month. If you’re thinking about buying a day pass, you may as well just sign up for a membership at that point.
Does Planet Fitness Have Weekly Passes?
Planet Fitness does not have weekly passes. It has two membership options, but they are all monthly.
The PF Black Card membership is $24.99 per month. The Classic membership, with a 12-month commitment, is $10 per month. Also, keep in mind that there are annual and sign-up fees. For example, in Florida, you'll pay a $49 annual fee and a $1 sign-up fee during the promotion.
Another popular gym you may want to try is 24 Hour Fitness. 24 Fitness doesn’t have a weekly pass either, but it does have a three-day pass — see how that gym stacks up against Planet Fitness in Planet Fitness vs 24-Hour Fitness.

Final Thoughts
A Planet Fitness free day pass is a great way to try it out. You can try a free trial pass or get a free guest pass.
- A Planet Fitness trial pass can be redeemed once every 90 days and doesn’t require anyone else. You can go to the website to get yours.
- A Planet Fitness guest pass, on the other hand, can be used once per day and technically an unlimited number of times. However, you need to know someone already going there with a Black membership.
I've also went in for a tour without signing up on the website and asked to try it out for a day, and the staff agreed.
You can purchase a day-use membership for $20, but if you’ve tried the trial and like the gym, I’d say sign up for a membership. The cheapest option is $10 per month, or you can go for the $24.99 a month Black Card membership and start handing out your guest passes to get your friends in the gym!
