Disney Fantasy gym expectations?

[Dchi1890]

Hi Everyone!
We're on our first DCL cruise in t-minus 12 days on the Fantasy! Can someone provide some insight into the gym facility? is it all machines or are there any free weights/dumbbells? If dumbbells, anything over 50#'s?
The wife and I are both avid gym addicts and are a bit concerned about the facility based on the limited pics on the dcl site.
thanks for the help!

I used free weights on the Dream last week up to 25#. I wasn't looking for heavier but I'm pretty sure they were there. There were also a couple benches, including adjustable ones. I don't remember seeing any fixed weight barbells or racks/cages/smith machines.

I couldn't find one for the Fantasy, but here's a video of the Dream's gym. It should be very similar.

That video is pretty much what the Fantasy gym looks like. I think the dumbbells went up to 50 pounds. There are no squat racks, smith machines, barbells or anything to do bench presses. If you think about it, it is probably a safety issue anyway because of the motion of the ship. I was doing walking dumbbell lunges on a sea day and it was a tad harder to keep my balance. Also, if you go during a time where they are doing a group class that requires dumbbells they don't have a separate supply. They take the ones from the racks in the gym.

I remember 50# dumbells. I ended up using them for super sets of deadlifts since it was the heaviest they had.
