Millions will gather with family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving on Thursday, but some may want to squeeze in a workout before the feast.

To ensure you can lift some Turkey Day weights, it’s important to check if your gym will be open or operating under adjusted hours. While some gyms may close entirely, others might offer limited access. Like many grocery stores, retail outlets, and restaurants, gyms often adjust their schedules to honor the holiday.

Here’s a look at major gym chains like Planet Fitness, LA Fitness, and YMCA, and whether you can expect them to be open on Thanksgiving this year.
