LA Fitness Hours on Christmas Eve 2026: Shortened Schedule Explained

Quick Answer: LA Fitness hours on Christmas Eve are expected to be shortened on Thursday, December 24, 2026, with most clubs running a reduced schedule instead of their usual 5:00am to 11:00pm Thursday hours. For 2025, club pages reportedly listed Christmas Eve hours of 8:00am to 12:00pm, and a similar morning window is likely again. LA Fitness has not yet posted official 2026 holiday times, so check your club’s page in mid December.

Key Points
  • Christmas Eve 2026 falls on a Thursday, one of the longest regular days on the LA Fitness schedule, so the cut is bigger than usual.
  • Christmas Day, Friday, December 25, is expected to be a full closure at most clubs.
  • Kids Klub was reported closed all day on Christmas Eve last year, so parents should plan around that.

Is LA Fitness Open on Christmas Eve 2026?

Yes, most LA Fitness clubs are expected to open on Christmas Eve 2026, but only for a shortened window. The likeliest pattern is a morning schedule that ends around midday.

In October 2026, club pages, such as Long Beach PCH in California and Lacey in Washington, list regular Thursday hours of 5:00am to 11:00pm and carry a general note that holiday hours may vary. No 2026 Christmas Eve times are posted yet.

What most articles miss is that the reported times differ. Some websites claim clubs stay open until early evening, while 2025 club listings pointed to a noon close. In practice, plan for the earlier time.

Plan for a later opening and a midday close on December 24, then a full closure on December 25.

Regular hours come from LA Fitness club pages checked in October 2026. Holiday hours are estimates until clubs post them. For your club’s normal weekly schedule, see our LA Fitness hours guide.

Why Does LA Fitness Shorten Hours on Christmas Eve?

LA Fitness shortens Christmas Eve hours because attendance falls off sharply after midday. Members travel and gather with family later in the day, so a full staff until 11:00pm makes little sense.

Because LA Fitness describes its clubs as owned and operated by the company, holiday schedules tend to be set centrally, which is why the pattern looks similar across locations.

California clubs are expected to follow the same shortened Christmas Eve schedule as clubs in other states. There is no separate California holiday policy.
