What Memphis's weather means for gyms
Summers in Memphis are hot, with about 72 days a year at 90°F or more and July highs averaging 92°F, so tanks and performance tees carry the warm half of the year. Tanks and light tees sell from April to October; hoodies and long sleeves take over from November to March, when average highs sit under 65°F. With about 55 inches of rain a year, a quick-drying training tee earns its place over cotton for members who run or train outside between showers. About 45 nights a year drop to freezing or below, which keeps a beanie and a crewneck on the front desk through winter. Rain peaks in April at about 5.9 inches, so schedule outdoor challenges around it and give members an indoor-class tee for the wet weeks.
