Finding a Hotel with a Good Fitness Center
Looking for a hotel with a good fitness center can be a hassle. A hotel might claim to have a
fitness center but when a traveler arrives they find a small room with a broken treadmill and a
couple ten pound free weights. A fitness conscious traveler will often find this situation
from most small hotels, privately owned hotels, and even some larger hotel chains.
Recently, up scale hotel chains have been improving the quality of their fitness centers.
Some hotels are even adding programs in which travelers can exercise in the actual hotel room
they booked. If a fitness center is a top priority for a traveler, a hotel with a service like
this should be a place considered first.
Before booking with a hotel a traveler should make sure the hotel has the type of exercise
equipment they need. To find the best hotel fitness centers here are a few things travelers
should keep in mind.
-
View the hotel’s website and see if it mentions the name of the company that manufactured the
fitness equipment provided in their fitness center. If the equipment name is mentioned it is
more likely to be high quality exercise equipment from a respected company.
-
Look for the number of fitness machines the hotel has in its exercise room. A good fitness
room will have at least a few treadmills, a stair climber, a cycle, a bench press, and maybe a
TV or two. Excellent hotel fitness centers will have a universal gym and a wide selection of
free weights.
-
Verify that the exercise equipment is in a well lit and comfortable room.
