  1255 ET - Planet Fitness's new chief executive will have to deal with a flurry of controversy and changes at the gym chain. The company faced sharp backlash from conservatives on social media last month due to an incident involving its trans-inclusive bathroom policy. Founder and former CEO Mike Grondahl openly criticized the company in an interview with a right-wing social media page. Analysts are unsure how potential backlash might affect Planet Fitness's results, and are more focused on the company boosting franchise economics and successfully rolling out an increase to monthly fees. Planet Fitness shares are down 3.6% to $60.36. (ben.glickman@wsj.com; @benglickman)
