How different is Planet Fitness?
We don’t have any salespeople, and we don’t bother with all the extras like juice bars and childcare that drive up costs and can make a gym membership seem more like a car payment. Instead, we’ve boiled our business down to the things that you really want in a health club – clean, stylish, hassle-free facilities that are filled with tons of brand-name cardio and strength equipment, and a lot of happy people. If you’re looking for a comfortable, friendly place to exercise, and like a great deal, then you’ll love Planet Fitness.

10. High vs. Low Involvement
Involvement - Degree of personal relevance that the product or purchase holds for that customer
Although not a very expensive product, Planet Fitness is a high involvement product because of the time component involved.

Involvement is focused on the personal relevance a product holds for an individual. Understanding whether a product is high or low involvement helps the marketer with all aspects of their planning and strategy. (We chose Planet Fitness to be a high involvement item because people are planning to spend a considerable amount of time (1-2 hours a day, 3-5 days a week) at the gym and want to make sure they enjoy their experience.)
When a product is of high importance, a consumer is likely to think through the advertising and examine details and information. This is the central route to persuasion. (An example of this at Planet Fitness is to give potential members a free day to try out the gym; provide new inexperienced members with a free personal training session.)

(This is a move away from the behavioral learning theories of classical and operant conditioning. Cognitive learning focuses on problem solving and consumer thinking. It is closely tied to information processing and how consumers store, retain, and retrieve information.)
