Christmas Day is finally here! If you are a fitness buff, though, you may be on the lookout for a gym to ensure that your daily health routine isn’t ignored amid all the merry making. Major gyms like LA Fitness, Planet Fitness, 24-Hour Fitness, and Lifetime Fitness are closed on December 25, 2024, and you would have to confirm your local gym’s timings by checking on the website.
Just as shops, supermarkets, and other retailers, gyms are operational on Christmas Eve but remain closed on December 25. However, fitness enthusiasts might be in luck, with some gyms remaining open for adjusted hours on Christmas.
Open gym options for fitness enthusiasts on Christmas Day 2024
For many, Christmas is a time to relax and rejuvenate. For others, it is a time to set health goals and start their day by shedding a few calories! Importantly, since Christmas is a federal holiday, most employees and organizations keep their shutters down.
Even on regular days, gym timings can vary, depending on the franchise. A few gyms that may be open on Christmas Day with adjusted timings include Gold’s Gym and YMCA.
Gold’s Gym have reportedly confirmed that their working hours will vary based on location. Customers are advised to check local gym timings before setting out. Notably, in recent years most gyms have not been operational on December 25.
Fitness enthusiasts may opt for home workouts with most gyms remaining closed on Christmas Day. Many gyms have exciting offers for the festive season, to encourage more people to start their fitness journeys.
Other then hitting the gym, many individuals like to take a Christmas walk a day after the festivities. This walk is often a collective one and a great way to unwind, following the heavy Christmas meal the night before. If the local gym is closed on December 25, you can always take a Christmas walk the next day.
