Meet Planet Fitness and the Kelley FUSION HVLS Fan

Who likes to work out when it’s stuffy, hot and humid? These conditions make you wanna hang up your running shoes and head back to the sofa with your TV remote in hand. No, in order to have a really successful workout session you need to be as comfortable as possible so when your body temperature rises, you don’t collapse from heat stress. That’s where Kelley steps in and offers up the fan that’s leading the industry in energy efficiency. Meet Planet Fitness and the Kelley^® FUSION^™ HVLS Fan.

Background

Located in sunny Miami, FL where the year-round average temperature is a balmy 84.3% and it’s always swimsuit season, Planet Fitness Miami offers members an affordable option to stay healthy and fit in the city where the locals are almost as beautiful as the ocean and city-skyline views. Founded in 1992, Planet Fitness has seen tremendous growth with a boom in memberships over the last twenty years. 

Planet Fitness writes in its mission statement, “We at Planet Fitness are here to provide a unique environment where anyone – and we mean anyone – can be comfortable.”

Challenge

The design of the Miami-based club incorporates multiple areas and stations, each dedicated to a specific type of workout.  While the facility has a wide-open feel, the year-round hot, humid temperatures and tough workouts oftentimes create heat in the facility that can lead to uncomfortable patrons and a decline in attendance.
