Planet Fitness HydroMassage Explained (HOW TO USE IT!)

PLANET FITNESS HYDROMASSAGE EXPLAINED (HOW TO USE IT!) // Want to learn about the Planet Fitness HydroMassage? In this video, I explain the benefits of massage, how to use the Planet Fitness Black Card amenity, how it differs from the standard massage chairs
*NOTE: In this video, I refer to the HydroMassage as a bed. I recently learned there's another model that is more like a bed and that this is technically a "HydroMassage Lounge." Functionality is the same, just FYI!

NOTE: I just came across a different version of HydroMassage at another Planet Fitness! Technically, the model I’m going over in this video is a “HydroMassage Lounge”, whereas there is another flat “HydroMassage Bed” model. The machine operates in the same way. Just an FYI!

I absolutely love this chair! Wish I had one at home! It’s worth the $25 monthly just to have access to this chair.

[@MrTwrking]

I pay the blackcard membership for this and the chairs alone I interchange chair to aqua bed back to chair and walk out feeling brand new again after walking in super stiff some mornings sleeping in the wrong position early mornings or late night when no ones in the gym but a few peaple you can use it without waiting for it. I also wish I could buy the aqua bed and the massage chair from bed to aqua bed first thing in the morning for 30 min to feel brand new again would be amazing but I dont have 30k to buy both . but if I ever become rich id have both of these in my in my house. the chair to aqua bed back to chair 45 min of massage whatever is open and available at the time I show up and im reset and good to go!!!

[@preshberries]

The massage was so good

[@KevTheTrainer]

I’m so glad to hear it!

[@meeshlog1318]

Thanks for this video - it's very informative. I do have a question: When someone has an appointment for one of these, are they logged in under a personal profile where they can create and save custom massage options to just click on next time? It would seem a shame to waste 3-4 minutes of that precious 10-minute massage window each time in order to choose & customize options.

[@seansprincess]

It was stated in the video you get a 10 min session but also a 10 min countdown.

[@Cherrygirl000]

[@trenawoodberry1652]

Is this ideal for persons with lower back issues, L2- S1?

Hey Trena! Massage therapy can help provide relief and alleviate pain and tension in the lower back, but would definitely consult with your healthcare professional before using for treatment! Hope this helps!

Can u use hydro massAgs as much as u want 2:14 2:15

[@melrow3697]

Would you say this alone makes the Black Card membership worth it? I ask because I won't drink any of the drinks and I don't have anyone to share the membership with.

[@KevTheTrainer]

Hey, Mel! I know lots of people get the Black Card membership for this particular amenity, so it’s not uncommon for someone to do so! It’s definitely a high-quality massage experience, is great post-workout and you can use it as often as you’d like as long as it’s not busy. The amenity I really use the Black Card membership for is to hop between different locations since I travel often, but this is a nice perk too if you want a relaxing way to recovery.

[@seansprincess]

No unfortunately

[@eyerish9451]

Can I book 2 hydromassage schedule at the same time for a black membership card?

[@metrowater2819]

You can only book one at a time, in fairness of other people wanting to use it. But after your time is up, you can ask the front desk if you can use it again. As long as nobody is waiting to use it after you.

[@DavidDamron-kh8kp]

Can u use chairs as much as u want when u work out?

[@KevTheTrainer]

If there are appointments available, you should be able to book multiple sessions. I was able to schedule two back to back, but it may vary by location!

[@margolangley4472]

It was stated that the hydromassage lasts for 10 minutes. However, at my Planet Fitness center, the session is only 7 minutes! Have there been changes since this video was made, or are there differences between Planet Fitness facilities? It truly is a relaxing massage, but it would be great if it did last 10 minutes!

[@KevTheTrainer]

Hey, Margo! It must be that different locations have their own timeframes for the massage. It’s still 10 minutes at my local gym!

[@nicholasmuro1742]

When does the 10 minutes start after checking in?
