A Planet Fitness will open in Worcester’s downtown area in the summer of 2025, according to a press release from T.K. Skenderian of Conventures Inc.

The press release reads that Core Development and Management, an independent franchisee of Planet Fitness, will open a 15,578-square-foot gym. Skenderian told MassLive the fitness center will be located at 90 Front St. next to where a CVS used to be before closing in November 2023.

Planet Fitness will be part of the Mercantile Center, a mixed-use property located downtown that includes 90 Front St., according to Skenderian. The building is also home to the Worcester Registry of Deeds, which Skenderian said will remain in the building.

“As we turn the page into 2025, we’re looking forward to working out alongside a growing base of neighbors and residents here in downtown,” Chip Norton, managing director of Mercantile Center and Franklin Realty Advisors said in the press release. “Gyms provide a convenient space for social and physical activity and few locations can engender a greater sense of community than Planet Fitness. We’re delighted to welcome them to town and can’t wait for the doors to open.”

The lease is for 12 years, according to the press release.

“As we meet Worcester’s growing desire to stay healthy, our newest location will make our services more easily accessible for those who live and work downtown,” said Bruce Edwards, CEO of Core Development and Management ”We are steadfastly dedicated to providing a high-quality gym experience for an affordable cost, and we’re greatly looking forward to further contributing to the Worcester area.”

Planet Fitness was founded in 1992 in Dover, New Hampshire, and has 88 locations in Massachusetts, according to the company website. There are currently two locations in Worcester, one at 535 Lincoln St. and the other at 68 Stafford St., the website reads.
