16 Philly Exercise Studios Open on Thanksgiving Day

Get in a pre-Thanksgiving dinner workout at one of these Megaformer, yoga, spinning, or barre studios.  


The most gluttonous day of the year is just days away. While we might be filling our plates high with healthy-ish foods like antioxidant-rich cranberries, protein-packed turkey, and nutrient-dense Brussels sprouts, we’ll undoubtedly be noshing on pie and mashed potatoes as well. To help you — and us — feel better about the piled-high plates in our future, we rounded up some Philly-area studios that offer Thanksgiving Day classes. From yoga to spinning, there’s a workout here to make everyone feel a lot better about that second helping.
