Introduction

Planet Fitness is making a big splash in Wisconsin as Ohana Growth Partners opens their 99th location — and it's their first in the Badger State. The new Rice Lake club at 2500B South Main Street comes with a unique twist: partnerships with two elite Wisconsin athletes.

The Details

  • Location: 2500B South Main Street, Rice Lake, WI 54868
  • Milestone: Ohana Growth Partners' 99th Planet Fitness location
  • Opening: Early 2026
  • Special Feature: Wisconsin athlete ambassadors

Elite Athletes Leading the Charge

What sets this opening apart is the partnership with biathlete Deedra Irwin from Pulaski and cross-country skier Kevin Bolger from Minocqua. Both Wisconsin natives compete on the world stage, including at international competitions in Italy.

"I've seen firsthand how fitness can change lives, not just physically but mentally as well," said Irwin. "Supporting the Planet Fitness Rice Lake club opening is a great opportunity to help bring more wellness resources to people in Wisconsin."

The athletes' involvement goes beyond typical endorsements — their faces will appear on regional marketing, from billboards to in-club signage, representing Wisconsin pride and athletic excellence.

The Rice Lake location offers everything Planet Fitness is known for:

  • State-of-the-art cardio and strength equipment
  • HydroMassage beds and massage chairs
  • Red light therapy
  • Tanning facilities
  • Group fitness classes

Ohana Growth Partners' Midwest Expansion

"We're proud that our expansion into Wisconsin is guided by partnerships that genuinely resonate with local communities," said Justin Drummond, President of Ohana Growth Partners.

This Rice Lake opening represents a strategic move for Ohana Growth Partners, who operate nearly 100 Planet Fitness clubs across Wisconsin, Michigan, Maryland, Washington D.C., Tennessee, Florida, Washington, and California. Their choice to enter Wisconsin with athlete partnerships shows a commitment to connecting with local communities.
