GYMS have soared in popularity, ever since interest in keeping fit surged during the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, several of the beloved chains will be adjusting their hours over the Christmas period so that their workers can enjoy a well-earned break.

Unlike many gym chains in the UK, the Gym Group offers flexible memberships which vary from off-peak access to free fitness and body composition tracking.
Normally, they are open 24/7 which allows you to work out whenever you would like.
However, the chain of gyms will close on Christmas Day and Boxing Day despite usually remaining open on bank holidays.
They will resume regular hours on December 27 and will even be open to customers on New Year’s Day.
Bannatyne’s
Founded by Scottish businessman and Dragon’s Den star Duncan Bannatyne, the Bannatyne Health Clubs are one of the UK’s favourite places to work out.
The chain launched in 1997 in North Yorkshire and now has many locations.
Bannatyne’s will shut at 4pm on Christmas Eve and won’t reopen until Boxing Day.
However, Bannatyne’s will be open on January 1, 2025.
That means you’ll have the chance to kick your New Year’s resolution off as soon as 2025 begins.
David Lloyd clubs
David Lloyd Leisure now operates over 100 gyms in the UK, after being launched by tennis legend David Lloyd in 1982.
The brand has made a name for itself as a luxury club, which offers swimming, tennis and personalised fitness classes.
The chain will be closing early on Christmas Eve and will remain closed on Christmas Day, so that their employees can spend time with their families.
Pure Gym
Pure Gym has more than 300 facilities across the UK, as of December 2024, and is the largest UK gym chain by membership.
Like The Gym Group, many of their clubs are open 24/7 on a regular day.
These 24/7 branches will remain open on Christmas Day but other gyms may be operating reduced hours.
Ask in-store or phone their reception for more information.
