JACKSON, Tenn. — Some West Tennessee gyms were open this Thanksgiving, and employees said the ‘regulars’ still showed up to sweat. Employees at Planet Fitness in Jackson said on a usual Thursday morning they see about 50 members in their gym. On Thanksgiving, they saw about 20 members. “Our members want to come work off some calories so they can get in more for Thanksgiving, but we do have our regulars that love to work out,” said B.J. Arnold, assistant general manager. “So we do want to provide them the opportunity to get their daily work out in.” Vicki Burton has been a gym member for six months. She said she wasn’t going to let the holiday interrupt her progress. “I recently lost approximately 81 pounds in a 10-month period, and I certainly don’t want to gain that weight back,” Burton said. She encouraged others to stay active during the holiday season.
