Gym enthusiasts and fitness fanatics are dedicated to their workout routines, even on holidays. With Memorial Day approaching in 2024, many gyms may be closed, leaving gym-goers searching for open fitness centers.
One popular gym chain, 24 Hour Fitness, known for its 24/7 operation, is set to keep its doors open for Memorial Day Weekend at most of its 280+ locations across 11 states.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, 24 Hour Fitness faced closures like many other gyms, but this Memorial Day Weekend, members can enjoy uninterrupted access to the gym at any hour.
While the majority of 24 Hour Fitness clubs will be open throughout the holiday weekend, it’s always advisable to check with your local branch for any potential changes in hours.
Does 24 Hour Fitness close for any holidays?
Despite its name, 24 Hour Fitness rarely closes, even on major holidays. The only exceptions are Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Eve, with limited hours on these days.
For gym-goers looking to maintain their fitness routine on federal holidays like Easter Sunday, the 4th of July, and Labor Day, 24 Hour Fitness is typically open for business.
When was 24 Hour Fitness founded?
24 Hour Fitness was founded in 1983 by Mark Mastrov, who established the gym as a 24-hour fitness space after buying out a local gym owner. The chain gained widespread popularity in the 2000s through sponsorships of the US Olympic Teams and its partnership with NBC for The Biggest Loser.
Despite filing for bankruptcy in June 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, 24 Hour Fitness remains a prominent fitness chain in the US, with over 280 clubs in 11 states.
