My wife is wondering what the condition of the gym at TTR? She's the gym rat, I'm continually working on "rounding" my figure!
A couple of treadmills, some free weights, and another couple of machines. Great view out of large windows overlooking the sports pool and the ocean. Best AC in the resort, lots of fresh towels, and coolers of fresh water. There is also a power-walk on with the ent cast around 10 am or so that goes for 30 minutes or so along the beach. There are also walking/bike paths that go each way from the resort that are parallel to the street.
good thread question...we're both gym rats, even on vaca we'll wanna hit some iron in the AM what's the condition of the facility? though it sounds small, it might be adequate....is the equipment old and falling apart or just not in good working condition, and the room, is it clean? also, anyone know if the room has been used for 'extracurricular' activities?
The gym is small and very basic. There are a few treadmills, a pec deck and a free bench. The free weights are very light tho, the heaviest being about 40lb which isn't really good for much. That said I (les) trained while we were there in Septemebr and I definatley thinks it's better using a basic gym than not doing anything at all lol.
The best part about the gym? No one is there since everyone is at the Sexy Pool. If your aim is to maintain whatever shape you were in before vacation, you won't have too many complaints. I went over every morning for the first half of vacation but gave up when I started needing more sleep and did not want to get up so early. There was an elliptical as well as the treadmills and balance balls for crunches etc. These were a little sandy though (prob from "activities" other than working out)
The view from the gym is AWESOME! IF (and that is a BIG IF) I was gonna workout on my vacation I would LOVE to look at that view. I only stepped foot in there cause Mr.Angibaby wanted to find it so he could workout...silly man! :lol:
Last time I went to a resort I saw people doing their morning runs on the paths around the resort. Does anyone do this at TTR? I need to keep up my running addiction and treadmills don't cut it!
I plan on going out for at least one run with Mario...I hope he goes really slow otherwise I'd be eating his dust! Diana
only way I would make it to the gym down there is if they put it between the bar and the pool. And since there's a bar IN the pool, looks like it'll be 12 oz curls all week again for me Travis
