Is the Gym Open on Memorial Day 2021? Planet Fitness, Equinox Hours
Memorial Day is today, and as it is a federal holiday, you may be wondering—will gyms be open?
Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May and it is a day to honor those who died while serving in the U.S. military. The holiday originated in the years following the Civil War and was originally known as Decoration Day.
Memorial Day became a federal holiday in 1971, which means that federal services will be unavailable today. The banks will be closed and the United States Postal Service (USPS) will not deliver mail.
However, on federal holidays such as Memorial Day, private businesses can choose whether or not to close, or operate with modified hours. This applies to gyms too, so each chain will decide its own holiday hours.
Fortunately, many major gym chains generally stay open during public holidays, with some only modifying their hours for major holidays such as Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Therefore, you'll likely get to fit in your workout this Memorial Day. Find out below which gyms will be open, but remember that hours may vary by location.
