Breaking: Planet Fitness doors are open today, New Year’s Day, and the glow-up starts now. I can confirm most clubs are operating on holiday schedules, with hours set by each location. If you want that first sweat of 2026, you can get it. You just need a smart plan and a strong fit.
Yes, Planet Fitness is open today
Most clubs are open Jan. 1 with modified staffed hours. Many opened later this morning, and some will close earlier tonight. Hours vary by franchise, so do not guess. Check your club’s page in the Planet Fitness app or use the online club finder to see today’s staffed times before you go.
Some clubs run 24 hours. If your location is unstaffed for a window today, key-card entry may work, but services can be limited. Expect changes for extras like tanning, HydroMassage, and new member sign-ups during unstaffed periods.
Unstaffed times can limit spa perks and front desk help. Confirm staffed hours in the app to avoid surprises.
New Year’s Eve often brings early closings. New Year’s Day often starts with later openings. Today follows that pattern at many clubs, so arrive with a plan.
Time your workout to skip the crush
Crowds hit hard from late morning into the afternoon on Jan. 1. That is when resolution energy peaks. If you want room for deep squats and a calm mirror, aim early morning or later tonight. Both windows tend to be smoother, and the locker room moves faster.
Plan your visit in minutes
- Open the Planet Fitness app and tap your club’s page for today’s staffed hours.
- Pick an arrival time outside the late morning rush. Early or evening is your best bet.
- Pack light, wear breathable layers, and prep a simple post-workout skin routine.
Arrive with water filled, headphones charged, and your lift or cardio plan already set. In and out, no time wasted.
Style your first sweat of 2026
Your gym look sets the tone for the year. Clean lines, confident color, and smart fabrics are the moment. Matching sets still rule, but they feel more elevated now. Think matte, compressive leggings with a square-neck bra. Add a sleek quarter-zip in a cool neutral for the warmup. The fresh palette today: graphite, deep cocoa, midnight navy, and a pop of citrus or cherry. Reflective trims read modern and help if you run outside later.
Footwear matters for the fit and the form. Stable trainers for lifts, light cushion for treadmill intervals. Keep socks high and crisp. A minimal crossbody or belt bag looks sharp and keeps hands free.
Keep makeup sweat-smart. Heavy foundation can crease with heat. Aim for a clean, camera-ready finish that holds up under studio lights or gym LEDs. A tinted balm, clear brow gel, and tubing mascara are enough. Lock in skin first, then let the flush do the rest.
- Pre-workout, cleanse and use a light gel moisturizer. SPF if sunlight touches your commute.
- Post-workout, rinse, gently cleanse, and restore your barrier with a hydrating serum and moisturizer.
- Hair up with a satin scrunchie or claw clip to prevent dents. Finish with a light mist for frizz control.
- Pack blot papers and a mini deodorant. Add a body wipe if you are heading to brunch.
What to expect inside the club today
Traffic will be brisk, especially around treadmills and cable stations. Superset with purpose and share equipment with a smile. Wipe down, move on, and keep it chic. If you want a quieter floor, slide to free weights or core space during peak cardio rush.
Black Card perks may follow holiday timing. Massage chairs and tanning are often available during staffed hours only. Locker rooms are open, but give yourself extra time. Bring a lock, a small towel, and flip-flops if you plan to shower.
Early January also brings membership deals. Offers vary by market, so do not assume the sign you saw last week still applies. Confirm on the official site or call your club for the current promo. If you are upgrading to Black Card for spa access, ask about today’s staffed windows so you can actually use it.
Before you leave home, refresh your club page in the app. Day-of updates happen, and you will save yourself a detour.
The bottom line
Planet Fitness is open today, with holiday hours that depend on your location. Check the app, pick a calm time, and show up styled and ready. New Year’s Day sets your mood, and the right routine, plus the right look, makes it stick. Lace up, glow up, and claim 2026 with intention. 💪✨
