The Judgement Free Generation™".

"We’re thrilled to celebrate with the Elkton, MD community and share the Judgement Free fitness experience. We encourage everyone to come check out the newly renovated club, meet our friendly staff, take a tour, and see what the Judgement Free Zone is all about," said Planet Fitness franchisee Victor Brick. "We are also honored to celebrate our Grand Re–opening Celebration with the Boys & Girls Club of Cecil County.
