Finding Open Gyms On The Fourth Of July: Your Guide To Staying Fit

Many Americans choose to spend the Fourth of July at gatherings with friends and family where they celebrate the nation's independence. This festive day is often filled with barbecued food, fireworks, and fun. However, for those who want to maintain their fitness goals, the question arises: where can you squeeze in a workout amidst the celebrations? Fortunately, if you're looking to exercise on Independence Day, you'll find that many fitness centers are open to cater to your needs.

While enjoying the holiday, it's essential to stay active and healthy. Independence Day often leads to indulgent meals and drinks, making it even more crucial to find time for a workout. Below is a comprehensive guide to help you locate the gyms that are expected to be open on July 4. It's important to note that many gyms operate independently, so their hours may vary. Always check with your local gym for the most accurate information regarding hours of operation.

For those who choose to prioritize fitness, there are several popular gym chains that typically keep their doors open during the holiday. Whether you prefer high-intensity workouts or a calming yoga session, knowing which facilities are available can help you stay on track with your fitness goals while still enjoying the holiday festivities.

24 Hour Fitness: Many locations are open 24 hours a day, as the name suggests, and these hours should still apply to Independence Day. The company's website offers a "club finder" feature, which can be used to help verify if your local center will be open.

Anytime Fitness: July 4 hours are not listed online for this chain, but as with 24 Hour Fitness, most locations are open around the clock. Also like 24 Hour Fitness, the company's website features a search tool to help you find your local club's hours.

Crunch Fitness: Hours vary by location, and many of these clubs observe the holidays. Your local Crunch Fitness may be open, but check that it's not closing early if you're planning a post-lunch workout.

Curves: Since these female-focused centers are part of a franchise brand, management at each location sets the opening hours. Check ahead for more information, which can be done online.

Equinox Fitness: This gym also has hours that are dependent upon location, but many sites will likely be open. However, the Fourth of July will likely affect hours, so check ahead.

Gold's Gym: Originally seen as fitness centers catering to bodybuilders, these gyms now offer cardio machines and exercise classes like the chain's competitors. But since it's a franchise, local management determines opening hours, so call ahead before visiting.

LA Fitness: These gyms are scheduled to be open Tuesday, but you should still look up the hours at your desired location. Like most centers on this list, the company offers a handy locator that can be used to find opening hours.

Orangetheory Fitness: This boutique fitness center advertises a "total-body group workout that combines science, coaching, and technology to guarantee maximum results from the inside out. To find your local club's hours, follow this link.

Planet Fitness: A "gym finder" option on the Planet Fitness website is also recommended for this popular company because—being another franchise—hours are not standard for all locations.
