1238 ET - High-value low-price gyms are on the rise and Planet Fitness is leading the charge, Jefferies says in a research note. HVLP gyms are shaping the future of fitness by combining low monthly membership prices with upgraded amenities and strength-focused offerings, the analysts say. Chains like Planet Fitness, Crunch Fitness and EoS Fitness are muscling through the industry, leaving behind mid-tier or higher-end gyms, which have seen flat or declining traffic, according to the analysts. Planet Fitness is winning in the HVLP space, seeing a substantial number of units and members compared to competitors, the analysts say. (natalie.weger@wsj.com; @NatalieWeger)
