Gym offers free workouts Thanksgiving weekend

To help Americans kick off a healthy holiday season, Gold's Gym is turning Black Friday into “Trim the Fat Friday.”

On Nov. 28 and continuing throughout Thanksgiving day weekend, the nation’s leading fitness authority is opening its doors to the public, free-of-charge, in an effort to help Houston-area residents burn off calories from their Thanksgiving feasts.

Gold's Gym trainers and nutrition experts will be on-hand to offer tips and advice.

According to the American Council of Exercise, studies have shown that the average Thanksgiving feast contains 3,000 calories and 229 grams of fat – the meal’s fat content alone is equivalent to eating three sticks of butter.


Thanksgiving dinner marks the beginning of the notorious “holiday weight gain” season. According to Gold's Gym nutritionists, Americans will need to do more than just shop on Black Friday to burn off all their holiday feasting. The average 150 pound person burns approximately 325 calories in 90 minutes of shopping.

In order to help Americans get "un-stuffed" after Thanksgiving and keep off the holiday pounds, Gold's is offering this free weekend of fitness and encouraging Americans to make exercise a priority so they can stay fit and healthy during this busy time of year.

All adults, age 18 and older, are welcome to visit one of the four Houston Area Gold's Gyms clubs for a free weekend of fitness.
