Zip Code 45322 Englewood Ohio
Black card gets you into any PF location, use of massage bed or chair, tanning access and a guest age 13+ (who only gets to watch you do that other stuff). It usually has a 12 month commitment and if my local gyms are any indication the price is going up to $21.99/mo.
Expires 22 September
For gym noobs like myself, they have a few times a week where they will sit with you and work out a plan based around your abilities and goals. Yes they have pizza night and bagel day and tootsie rolls at the counter, get over it; you can choose to NOT eat it, learn moderation, or consider how great you are when you're paying for some other junk food. If PF isn't for you, then move along. If you've considered PF in the past, the no commitment black card may be for you before prices jump to $21.99 everywhere.
Because all sign-ups are online, I don't know that it matters what location you sign-up for. (If you care, after 90 days you can switch your "home gym" to something closer to you. If you need an excuse, tell them you're a contractor and work out of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base during the week so you were looking for a gym close to that, they don't care though.)
Background that you don't care about
:
I recently started an Intermittent Fasting/Keto style diet and have plateaued at down almost 50 pounds since May. I was looking for a gym to take it to the next level and they are opening a new Planet Fitness a few miles from my house in Northern Kentucky (makes 3 in about 15-20 minutes from my house). They had a deal for the black card at $19.99 with $1 startup fee, NO commitment and $39 annual fee starting in January, but the deal ended 2 September. I stopped by another location to talk to someone and they said that this week, in honor of their 25th anniversary the startup fee would drop to 25 cents, so I thought why not wait. I did and it seems most of the black card monthly rates jumped to $21.99/mo on Sunday. While the rest of the deal holds (no commitment, annual fee starting in January) with the 25 cent startup fee, the $2/mo increase kind of put me off. I work in Ohio and thought I'd check rates around there and found another store "opening soon" with the $19.99 black card, $1 startup fee and $39 annual fee starting 1 December. Just sharing something I consider a deal.

eta: This might be dependent on your PF location. I'd check before signing up for the Black Card.
I called a few around me (given that in my 95 mile commute I pass about 10 PF locations) and one said there was no limit on the number of visits to the 'non-home' gym, 2 others said it was limited to 10 visits per 'non-home' gym location per month. I honestly will have trouble getting to the gym more than twice a week (going to push for 3x per week but it will be really tough), so it shouldn't matter where I visit.

The official rule is that you can use a Black Card a maximum of 10 times at gyms outside your home guy (where you bought the membership).
Any franchise outside your home club can choose to let you in more than that, but most won't. The exception is that franchises that own multiple clubs will typically allow you to visit any of their other owned locations with a Black Card as much as you want. But again, it's franchise dependent.
