We just got back from the May 3 - 10 Western and used the fitness center extensively. As previously posted, it is free to use the center and to take classes. The equiptment is all LifeFitness, top of the line stuff. There is a large bank of treadmills in front of floor to ceiling windows overlooking the ocean as well as LifeCycles and ellipticals. There are a nice assortment of resistance training machines and pitchers of citrus flavored ice water with slices of orange, lemon, and lime in it. I did not use the showers, but they are roomy and have large round shower heads; they looked nice. It opens at 6:30 AM, but once I showed up early and they opened it at 6:20! They offer spinning, yoga, and pilates classes, as well as an ab attack core training class. I booked a body makeup analysis and personal training session (both of which cost extra) and basically got my butt kicked by Matthew from South Africa. The fitness center was great!
