“So on Father’s Day this year, we thought it would be fun to look at how men and women – parents or not – feel about the dad bod,” she said. “Our survey results show the majority of people think positively about dad bods, and men who identify as having them are proud of who they are. That’s exactly how we want all of our members to feel when they come to Planet Fitness.”
