Planet Fitness set to open inside Medicine Hat Walmart this fall
Renovations are already underway at the Strachan Road Southeast store as the U.S. gym chain prepares for its first Medicine Hat location.
A new Planet Fitness location is under construction inside the Walmart on Strachan Road Southeast in Medicine Hat, with an opening planned for this fall.
The fitness chain, known for its low-cost membership model, will occupy space within the existing Walmart store rather than a standalone building. Construction crews are currently working on the site to prepare it for the gym's arrival.
No exact opening date, membership pricing, or hiring details have been released yet, but the project marks Planet Fitness's expansion into the Medicine Hat market.
