About Planet Fitness

Planet Fitness is a national fitness center chain known for its low monthly pricing, extensive cardio and strength equipment, and a casual, “Judgement Free Zone®” atmosphere. Members typically choose between a lower-cost Classic membership, which provides access to a single home club, and the PF Black Card® membership, which includes access to all Planet Fitness locations, guest privileges, and additional amenities such as massage chairs, tanning, and premium recovery and wellness areas.([planetfitness.com](https://www.planetfitness.com/gym-memberships?utm_source=openai))

A charge reading similar to “Abc*P 94298 PF Portlan” is very likely a Planet Fitness membership or related gym fee processed by their third‑party billing provider, ABC Fitness Solutions (formerly ABC Financial). Many Planet Fitness charges appear on bank or card statements with descriptors like “ABC*PF [location or number],” “PLANET FIT CLUB FEES,” or “PLANET FITNESS,” sometimes followed by a city or club identifier such as Portland.([whatsthatcharge.com](https://www.whatsthatcharge.com/ABC-PF-FORT-WORTH-AL-012125?utm_source=openai)) These charges can represent monthly membership dues, annual fees, enrollment or startup fees, or catch‑up/returned payment retries.

If you have questions about a Planet Fitness charge, first check your Planet Fitness membership status via the PF mobile app or your local club, and review recent email receipts or enrollment paperwork for the billing date and amount. You can also verify directly with your home club’s front desk, or by contacting the billing support line referenced in your membership agreement (often managed through ABC Fitness). If the charge does not match any known membership for you or a family member, contact your bank or card issuer promptly to dispute the transaction and request a new card number if fraud is suspected.([yourbankstatementconverter.com](https://yourbankstatementconverter.com/blog/what-does-planet-fitness-show-up-as-on-bank-statement/?utm_source=openai))

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my bank statement show “ABC*P” or “ABC*PF” instead of Planet Fitness?

Planet Fitness uses ABC Fitness Solutions (formerly ABC Financial) as its third‑party billing processor, so some banks display the processor plus a shortened gym name, such as “ABC*PF 94298 PF PORTLAN,” rather than “Planet Fitness.” These descriptors still refer to your Planet Fitness membership dues or related gym fees.([whatsthatcharge.com](https://www.whatsthatcharge.com/ABC-PF-FORT-WORTH-AL-012125?utm_source=openai))

What types of charges can Planet Fitness place on my card?

Common Planet Fitness charges include monthly membership dues (often in the $10–$30 range depending on Classic vs. PF Black Card®), an annual fee that is usually around $40–$50, and occasional enrollment/startup fees when you first join or during promotions. You may also see small additional charges for in‑club purchases like drinks or merchandise.([subpilot.tech](https://subpilot.tech/cost/planet-fitness?utm_source=openai))

How do I confirm which Planet Fitness club a charge like “PF Portlan” came from?

The trailing text in the descriptor—such as a number plus a city abbreviation like “PF PORTLAN”—typically refers to the specific club or market. To confirm, log in to your Planet Fitness app or contact the club you’re enrolled with and ask them to look up recent charges by date and amount. They can verify whether the transaction matches your membership and which location processed it.([planetfitness.com](https://www.planetfitness.com/about-planet-fitness/customer-service?utm_source=openai))

How can I cancel my Planet Fitness membership so these charges stop?

Most Planet Fitness locations require you to cancel in person at your home club or by sending a signed, certified letter; cancellations generally aren’t accepted by phone or regular email. Check your membership agreement for your home club’s specific rules, notice period, and any minimum‑term or buyout requirements, then complete the in‑person or mailed cancellation before your next billing date to stop future charges.([yourbankstatementconverter.com](https://yourbankstatementconverter.com/blog/what-does-planet-fitness-show-up-as-on-bank-statement/?utm_source=openai))

Why did I get an unexpected $39–$49 charge from Planet Fitness or ABC*PF?

Planet Fitness bills an annual membership fee separate from your monthly dues, often around $39–$49, on a scheduled date each year after you join. This charge can appear as “PLANET FIT CLUB FEES,” “PLANET FITNESS,” or an ABC*PF descriptor. Review your original membership paperwork or app account for your annual fee date to confirm the charge.([yourbankstatementconverter.com](https://yourbankstatementconverter.com/blog/what-does-planet-fitness-show-up-as-on-bank-statement/?utm_source=openai))

Can Planet Fitness place authorization holds or retry failed payments on my card?

Yes. If a payment attempt fails, Planet Fitness or its billing partner may retry the charge or mark it as a “retry payment” or similar on your statement. In some cases you might also see a temporary pending hold before the transaction posts. If you see repeated retries or unexpected holds, contact your Planet Fitness home club or ABC billing support to review your balance and update your payment method.([yourbankstatementconverter.com](https://yourbankstatementconverter.com/blog/what-does-planet-fitness-show-up-as-on-bank-statement/?utm_source=openai))

How do I request a refund or dispute a Planet Fitness charge?

Start by speaking with staff at your home Planet Fitness club—bring your statement, dates, and amounts—and ask them to review your account and process any appropriate corrections or refunds. If the gym or ABC Fitness will not resolve what you believe is an error, you can escalate with their corporate customer service and, if needed, file a dispute with your bank or card issuer, who may issue a chargeback for unauthorized or misbilled transactions.([pfguides.com](https://pfguides.com/cancel-planet-fitness-membership/?utm_source=openai))

Could this Planet Fitness charge belong to a family member instead of me?

Yes. Multiple family members sometimes enroll separately at Planet Fitness, and each membership can generate its own recurring ABC*PF or PLANET FITNESS charge. Check with household members about active memberships and have them log into the PF app or their email for welcome messages and billing notices to confirm whether the charge is tied to their account before assuming it is fraudulent.
