What are your chances of seeing a white Christmas?
AccuWeather’s Damien Lodes breaks down the odds of each part of the country seeing a white Christmas.
Getting a workout in before the Christmas festivities kick off is possible, but it may take a little bit of concentrated effort and planning to get it done.
The best way to make sure you will be able to lift some weights, run on the treadmill or take a Zumba class on the merriest of holidays is by figuring out when your gym will be open, or it’ll be open at all.
Some gyms may be closed completely, while others may offer members the ability to get a workout in during adjusted hours. Banks, retail stores, restaurant chains and even post offices tend to close or adopt limited hours in honor of Christmas Eve.
Here’s what you need to know about the hours of operations for major fitness facilities, including Planet Fitness, Gold’s Gym and YMCA, and whether or not they will be open on Christmas Eve this year.
