HAMPTON, N.H., Dec. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Planet Fitness, one of the largest and fastest-growing franchisors and operators of fitness centers with more members than any other fitness brand, announced today that it will return for the tenth consecutive year as the presenting sponsor of the Times Square's New Year's Eve celebration, in partnership with the Times Square Alliance and Countdown Entertainment.

Revelers in Times Square will ring in 2025 with Planet Fitness' distinct New Year's Eve party hats. This year the hats commemorate a decade of the Planet Fitness Times Square New Year's Eve celebration. The silver hat design features vibrant metallic purple fringe and silver sequins. Planet Fitness will also be featured on "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2025" on Tuesday, Dec. 31, beginning at 8/7c on ABC, and next day on Hulu, as well as on the Times Square New Year's Eve webcast throughout the night.

"We're thrilled to welcome the new year in Times Square again this year, marking our milestone tenth year as the presenting sponsor," said Jamie Medeiros, Chief Brand Officer at Planet Fitness. "Our New Year's Eve sponsorship puts fitness top of mind in the new year and reminds everyone to put their health and fitness goals first in 2025. No matter what your goals are or what strength looks like to you, all fitness levels can start 2025 strong at Planet Fitness."

"We look forward to welcoming back Planet Fitness as the presenting sponsor of Times Square New Year's Eve for the tenth year," said Jeffrey Straus, President of Countdown Entertainment. "We are excited to see Times Square transformed into Planet Fitness purple and yellow filled with festive happy energetic revelers ringing in 2025."

In addition to its sponsorship, Planet Fitness is asking everyone to submit personalized "wishes" for the New Year at planetfitness.com/confettiwishes or at the Wishing Wall in the heart of Times Square. Now through December 29 each heartfelt wish submitted will be printed on a piece of actual confetti that will soar over the crowd at midnight on New Year's Eve.

"The celebrations in Times Square would not be complete without the integral participation of Planet Fitness and its iconic hats," said Tom Harris, President of the Times Square Alliance. "We look forward to once again ringing in the New Year surrounded by Confetti Wishes from people all around the country, thanks to our partnership with Planet Fitness."

"New Year's Rockin' Eve on ABC is the largest New Year's special of the evening and our longstanding collaboration with Planet Fitness allows us to push the boundaries on innovation and creativity, bringing even greater surprise-and-delight moments to our viewers each year," said John Campbell, SVP, Entertainment and Streaming Solutions, Disney Advertising.
