charge of cleaning and maintenance throughout the gym. The largest part of the operation include the trainers and fitness instructors. They are what makes Planet Fitness a place want to come back and work out in. The trainers are constantly on the clock in working with members to help them whatever goals they set out to accomplish. The trainers and fitness instructors are required to have expertise. They have to be trained in the field and have to be certified to be a fitness trainer. Planet Fitness is a company that typically stays open nearly all the time.
Throughout the week, most stores are open 24 hours a day. The store will not close from 12:00 AM Monday until Friday at 9 PM. Weekend hours consist of 12 hour days, typically from 7 AM-7 PM. As you can see, Planet Fitness will be opened every day of the week, including the weekend. As a new franchise, it is important that the company gets off to a good start. In terms of staffing, we can certainly find approximately 15 employees to staff. Per day, I would say we need between 6 and 9 employees per day. This includes a manager, 1-3 people at the front desk, 1 or 2 people so clean, and about 3 trainers. The trainers are the most important part of the operation. At peak hours, most likely around lunch and after 4 PM, we would certainly need more hands on deck because of the fact that people come in during their lunch breaks or right after they get off of work or done with school.
