It’s the start of a class known as high-intensity interval training, a combination of treadmill and weight-lifting, at the boutique fitness studio Barry’s.
The brothers and Rondeau, who now serves as Planet Fitness’ chief executive, hit upon a concept.
Planet Fitness’ tag, “judgement free zone” is true to form.

Still, with solid and regular profits and a reasonable amount of debt, Planet Fitness has staying power, even if shareholders lose their shirts while its valuation comes in line.
