1430 ET - July fitness data points to continued stability at Planet Fitness, while supporting a bullish view on Life Time Group, according to Jefferies in a research note. Planet Fitness foot traffic rose around 1% in July, about the same as June, while web visits climbed around 33% last month following a 36% rise in June, the analysts say.
