How does Planet Fitness compare to other fitness channels?

At 3K median views, Planet Fitness sits below the typical fitness channel we track (17K) - there is headroom.

How much does Planet Fitness make? (estimated)

Nobody outside the channel sees the real figure, and ad revenue is only part of it - sponsorships and merch often dwarf it. But from public view counts, Planet Fitness pulls roughly 10K long-form views a month from recent uploads, which at a typical $1-4 RPM works out to an estimated $10-$41 a month in ad revenue (about $124-$495 a year). Treat it as a ballpark, not a payslip - real creator income varies wildly, and this ignores the back catalogue.

What should a channel like Planet Fitness make next?

Copy what already works here, not generic advice: lean on the 20 min+ format, ship on Tue, and build titles around its proven words (teddy). The median is the bar - the goal of every upload is to clear 3K views.
