Expanding fitness brand leverages data for energy cost savings and
waste reduction

SPOKANE, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#energyefficiency—ENGIE
Insight, a leading energy and sustainability management company, has
been selected by Planet Fitness’ 64 corporate-owned locations to provide
utility expense data management, and advisory solutions such as energy
procurement of electricity and natural gas, and waste management
solutions. Planet Fitness is one of the largest and fastest-growing
franchisors and operators of fitness centers in the U.S. ENGIE Insight’s
deep-industry insights and data analytics capabilities will help Planet
Fitness ensure operations are energy efficient and waste diversion
programs are optimized. Additionally, more than 100 franchise locations
have also chosen these services.

Multi-site organizations are challenged to minimize their energy spend
and mitigate their carbon footprint. Many companies like Planet Fitness,
however, are increasingly committed to effective resource management as
they grow their business. To enable growth with less resource
consumption, ENGIE Insight will deliver a robust set of expense
and data management services, including complex bill payment,
electric and gas utility bills auditing and data analysis. To help the
select Planet Fitness locations ENGIE is working with to achieve long
term energy and cost savings, ENGIE Insight will also manage the energy
contracts for new facilities to identify opportunities for lower rates
as part of the energy
supply management solution to optimize energy supply contracts.

“Planet Fitness brings a high-quality and affordable fitness experience
to each community we operate within, and sustainability is an important
part of our business strategy,” said Al Buell, vice president of
construction at Planet Fitness World Headquarters. “As we continue to
expand our brand, we are excited to partner in select markets with ENGIE
Insight to help us to identify opportunities for energy reductions and
divert more waste from landfills.”

ENGIE Insight’s total
waste management solution will bring a new level of transparency to
waste cost and landfill diversion across Planet Fitness’ corporate sites
and franchisees that select this program. By organizing waste audits to
identify savings potential, managing vendors and developing
comprehensive waste reduction plans, ENGIE Insight will turn
comprehensive insight into an action plan that makes a sustainable
impact.

“ENGIE Insight will provide a complete utility bill audit to help the
Planet Fitness locations who select this program better understand and
manage their utility costs and energy consumption,” said Martin Sieh,

experience working with fitness organizations to manage their utility
data and provide strategic waste recommendations, which will enable
