LA Fitness Hours on New Year’s Eve 2026: What to Expect on December 31

Quick Answer: LA Fitness hours on New Year’s Eve are expected to be shortened on Thursday, December 31, 2026, with most clubs closing earlier than their usual late Thursday time. Past New Year’s schedules have reportedly run around 8:00am to 6:00pm, so an evening workout is the one most at risk. LA Fitness has not posted official 2026 times yet, so confirm on your club’s page in late December.

Key Points
  • New Year’s Eve 2026 lands on a Thursday, when clubs normally stay open until 10:00pm or 11:00pm.
  • Florida and California clubs keep different regular hours, which changes how much time you lose.
  • When December 31 falls on a Sunday, the cut is smaller because weekend hours are already short.

Is LA Fitness Open on New Year’s Eve 2026?

Yes, LA Fitness clubs are expected to open on New Year’s Eve 2026, but with a reduced schedule. No official 2026 times are posted yet.

In October 2026, LA Fitness club pages showed only regular hours plus a note that holiday hours may vary. What most articles miss is that reported past schedules differ from site to site. In practice, assume an afternoon or early evening close and treat any later time as a bonus.

The reason is simple: attendance drops sharply on the evening of December 31 as members head to celebrations, so a full staff until closing makes little sense.

LA Fitness New Year’s Eve Hours in Florida

Florida clubs are expected to run shortened New Year’s Eve hours, following the same company pattern as other states.

The Palm Beach Gardens club, for example, closes at 10:00pm on Thursdays instead of 11:00pm. As a result, Florida members lose a little less evening time on December 31.

LA Fitness New Year’s Eve Hours in California

California clubs are expected to shorten New Year’s Eve hours as well, and they give up the most evening time. Many run until 11:00pm on a normal Thursday, so a 6:00pm close removes five prime hours.

Most people discover that nearby California clubs post slightly different holiday times. Compare a second location with our LA Fitness club locator.

What If New Year’s Eve Falls on a Sunday?

When December 31 is a Sunday, LA Fitness hours change less, because Sunday hours are already short. The next Sunday New Year’s Eve is in 2028.

Regular Sunday hours run 8:00am to 8:00pm at the Long Beach club and 8:00am to 7:00pm at Palm Beach Gardens. Because of this, a holiday close in the early evening trims only an hour or two.

How to Confirm Your Club’s New Year’s Eve Hours

  1. Open Find a Club and select your home club.
