??? about Fitness center on board

[kajohn]

My husband and I have begun to work out again (you know new years resolutions and all!!) and would like to keep it up while on board, and hopefully not gain too much weight.

I have not heard much on these boards regarding the fitness center, and wanted to know what was available. Do they have a variety of cardio equipment, or is it just treadmills. Also, do they have free weights, and resistance machines too? Is the fitness center crowded on at sea mornings? Also, is there an outdoor track around deck that you can walk in the mornings?

Any info would be appreciated!

As I remember the fitness center had a stairmaster or 2 and treadmills. I think there were resistance machines and free weights, but not a lot. It isn't a big area, but very adequate for the week you are there.

There is a great "track" on deck 4 that goes all around the ship. Many many people walk and jog on it. It is very enjoyable.

The fitness center is very crowded after 8am on sea days at the beginning of the cruise. It empties out toward the end of the cruise ( too much partying and sun for most :0) ) IT is also fairly empty around 4pm. I used to workout then, before the shows and dinner.

DH and I find crowds a good excuse to avoid exercise so we generally do about 2 miles on deck 4 most mornings and ALWAYS take the stairs down and usually take the stairs up (unless its more than 4 floors) instead of the elevators. This way we still get exercise in and are not 'inconvenienced' by having to wait for others to finish with a machine. In fact taking the stairs is often quicker than waiting for an elevator.
We also like to walk around on 10 several times a day to get sun and exercise.

since I'll be going soon and I love to walk and go on the treadmill and my son and husband like to lift weights regularly. I'm looking forward to answering as many questions as have been answered for me!
