Starting the New Year with a good workout is a great way to kick off your resolutions or simply the day.

If you want to hit the gym, it’s important to check if your fitness center is open on New Year’s Day and what their schedule is like.

Various gyms may choose to close entirely, while some could have different hours of operation compared to their regular schedule. Many businesses like banks, retail shops, restaurants, and post offices often operate on limited hours or close down for holidays, and New Year’s Day is no exception.

Here’s what you need to know about the opening hours of popular gyms, including Planet Fitness, Gold’s Gym, and the YMCA.

“A key focus for us during the holidays is the chance to bring someone with you using a buddy pass as part of your membership, or to take advantage of our buy one get one free membership offer, which allows you to bring a workout partner for free for 2025,” stated 24-Hour Fitness. “The holidays are about spending quality time together, and that includes at the gym!”
