Planet Fitness, Inc. (PLNT) Investigation:

The investigation focuses on Planet Fitness' statements about its business, operations, and growth prospects.

In recent quarters, Planet Fitness has touted its 'steady recovery from the pandemic,' boasting that it has reached an all-time record high in members, its low cancellation rate and 50% year-over-year revenue growth. Planet Fitness attributed the success to its making the sign-up process even more seamless and targeted customer acquisition strategy

Planet Fitness' claims came into question on Jan. 19, 2023, when The Bear Cave published a scathing report based on information it received through numerous Freedom of Information Act requests, concluding 'investors believe the franchise network is healthy and has room to grow. The Bear Cave doesn't.'

The Bear Cave reported that it has uncovered hundreds of consumer complaints concerning overbilling, fraudulent transactions, excessive fees, and non-cancellable memberships. The Bear Cave also alleges 'Planet Fitness created a fake investor presentation slide to obscure franchisee saturation' and '[a]fter reviewing the evidence, The Bear Cave is left wondering whether Planet Fitness is actually a thriving gym franchise or an illegal billing operation with gyms on the side.'

In response, the price of Planet Fitness shares declined on Jan. 19, 2023.

'We're focused on investors' losses and whether Planet Fitness may have misled investors by, among other things, reporting illegally-obtained revenues,' said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
