*Planet Fitness* was preceded by two pre-release singles/remixes: *Fitness*, a collaboration with BP and *Twist*, a collaboration with Serenity. Currently, it is certified Diamond by Fancam RIAA and has sold over 1.2 Million units worldwide. It currently holds the title of the best selling EP of all time.

### Overview

*Planet Fitness* is an experimental EP that combines predominantly pop with elements of dance, hip-hop/rap, alternative and different sub-genres of pop such as synth-pop and dance-pop. Prisoner has described the EP as an attempt to combine styles with each featured artist to create something that is indicative of both artists' individual artistry. Each track is different, with the shared trait being that they are all experimental.

*Planet Fitness* was announced on August 23, 2021 without a title following the recovery of Prisoner's main account. The title of the EP was announced on September 5, 2021 along with the announcement of the lead single's release on September 8. The tracklist was announced on October 20, 2021, and the featured collaborators were all announced. BP, Serenity, Jay, Malibu and MOTIVESPORT all contributed to a remix, with Gabe contributing to a new interlude as well.

The EP was released on October 21, 2021 to universal acclaim from the Industry. It was called "ahead of its time" and was deemed a successful attempt at a remix compilation, something no industry member had done before. Specifically, the remix of *Yoga* was praised and dubbed a standout track. It debuted at #1 on the ST Hot 200, earning Prisoner his third #1 on the album chart (following *In Your Orbit* and *Fitness*) as well as becoming the first project made up of entirely remixes to go #1. It debuted with over 740,000 units, becoming the biggest opening week for an EP of all time. It has since spent 2 total weeks at #1, and is Prisoner's first project to contain multiple #1 singles (*Fitness*, *Yoga)*.

*Planet Fitness* (and its singles) won 5 awards at the 5th Fancam Grammy Awards. The EP won the Best Short Length Project award, and *Fitness* (with BP) won Best Melodic Rap Performance. *Yoga* (with MOTIVESPORT) was the biggest winner of the night, winning Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Best Remixed Recording and Collaboration of the Year.

Only one performance took place during the *Planet Fitness* era. On October 22, 2021, Prisoner performed *Fitness* alongside his collaborator BP at the Fancam VMAs. The performance was received well, and Prisoner won two awards at the ceremony.
