Strength Gains Incoming, Corio! 💜💛

You spoke (loudly!), and we listened.   


Our members told us they wanted more strength equipment — and guess what?   
We’re delivering.  
 
Planet Fitness Corio is levelling up with a fresh lineup of highly requested strength pieces designed to help you squat, curl, thrust, and deadlift your way toward your goals with more variety than ever before. 
 
Here’s a sneak peek at the new equipment coming to the club around the New Year (late December or early January): 

Half Rack (with Deadlift Platform + Coloured Bumper Plates)


The hero of the update! Perfect for squats, bench press, deadlifts and everything in between. It’s versatile, it’s sturdy, and it’s one of the most requested items from our members. Want even more good news? PF Corio is getting four of these! 

Hack Squat

A lower-body powerhouse that helps you build strong quads with full control and great form. 

Preacher Curl Bench

For those juicy, isolated bicep burns. Get ready to chase that pump.

Glute Trainer / Hip Thrust Machine

Your glutes are about to meet their match. Safer, simpler, and stronger than the traditional barbell setup. 

Plus, we’re doubling down on some of your favourites, by adding another pin-loaded peck fly and leg curl machine to the mix. 
 
We’re so excited for you to experience the new strength zone — built from your feedback and designed to give you even more ways to feel strong, confident and unstoppable. 
 
Stay tuned for more updates, and get ready to lift heavier, train smarter and glow harder this New Year!
