Many restaurants and bars have shut down shop until tomorrow, but a day off work and no place to overindulge means more time for a workout. Equinox Fitness locations, David Barton Gym and Xsport Fitness all claim to be sticking to their regularly-scheduled hours today, so strap on your x-country skis and head out for a workout, if you dare. "Clubs are all still open! Despite 'Blizzard 2011' we are open, so get out your snow shoes and head to the gym," Xsport Fitness tweeted this morning.
Also open for business, The Dailey Method. "We are still opened today!! Come to the 4:15 or 5:30 classes with Natalia if you are dying to get out of your house."
Still, The Feast advises checking schedules online before you venture out. Many independent gyms and fitness studios are closed. As of noon, all morning and afternoon classes at Exhale Spa had been cancelled, while evening classes remain available for now.
And Chicago Fitness Party is offering gratis classes from the comfort of your own home. "WERQ is cancelled tomorrow (Wed) at Lou Conte Dance Studio due to this snowstorm of epic proportion. If you get bored, follow along with our videos on youtube. Our channels are: ChicagoFitnessParty, HaleyFitness."
