Just in time for beach body season, New Hampshire-based Planet Fitness, a gym that boasts a “Judgment Free Zone” motto, has inked two Manhattan leases in a city expansion effort, the New York Observer reported. The gym also has six deals in the works for additional outlets.

The new locations are a 29,500-square-foot space at 423 West 55th Street and a 28,576-square-foot gym at 25 Broadway in the Financial District. The leases span respective 12-year and 20-year terms.
