    I was here in October but didnt give a crap about the gym or exercise. Now I am hitting the gym everyday. How is it at the resort? What do they have? Treadmills, dumbbells, etc Thanks for any help

    When we were there 3 years ago it was basic, meaning a couple of treadmills, a couple of stationary bikes and ellipticals, various weight machines, a full set of dumbells and other free weights. They have remodeled since then, and looking at the resort pics it has expanded a lot! I don't think you'll have any problem getting a good workout!

    We were there in May and the gym is very basic but ok to keep trim while away. It has a few treadmills, bike machines, peck deck, smiths machine, bench press machine, loose dumbells up to 45lb and a few core balls.
    I (les) trained while we were there and found it ok, better doing something instead of nothing I suppose.

    Most resorts don't have great fitness areas...............but usually we can find a decent workout. Dave is a heavy liter and there's never enough weight for him......but we'll get some work in...

    I didn`t use the gym once and I had to walk by it every time I went to my room. Swimming around in the pool and walking around Cancun is enough exercise for me while I`m there.

    gym

    I always find it hard to use the treadmills. there are 2 but one has always been broken (5 trips 2 yrs ). Other is always in use. I have complained every visit it is never fixed.

    Usually I would say screw it but I am on a strict Diet. I want to get in at least a half hour a day to make up for all the extra eating and drinking.

    Same here, it will at least make me FEEL better to work out 30 mins a day after all the booze and extra calories.
