The Olympiad Fitness Center is located on the 3rd floor of the CR. It's open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. I usually get there between 0600-0630. At 0600ish, I'm usually the only one; closer to 0630 and there is usually only 2-3 people, usually only doing cardio. when I'm then using the weights. I've never had to wait for anything. However, I've never been there past probably 0730. I'm sure the treadmills get full at some point.

They have around 11 pieces of Cybex equipment, Life Circuit stations (Smith-type/crossover cables/calf raise...), free weights up to 50 lbs., Life Cycles, treadmills with TVs above on the wall, a sauna and massages by appointment.

I love it and find it provides a complete workout similar to my gym; it's very convenient and free to CR/BLT guests.

That's a great point about it being convenient for Bay Lake Tower guests, because all they would need to do is take the skybridge to the 4th floor of the Contemporary Tower and the elevator to the 3rd floor where the gym is located.

We stayed at Kidani last month.

I don't know about the equipment because I didn't go into the fitness center...but DH & DS did. It was about 11am and they were the only guests in there.

The fitness center is located right next to the pool. It worked out great as DD & I could swim while DH & DS worked out.
