gym, weights on the boat

[roadkingirl]

Hi, can anyone please tell me how the gym is? Is there free weights, machines, stair climber? Thanks so much

They do have treadmills (about 8) about 3 elliptical machines, and I think only 1 stairmaster and 2 bikes. They do have free weights and machines. But the space there to do the free weights and situps and such are very limited, so if you can go early or later in the afternoon. I went at 8 and it was crowded and hard to do my sit ups and such on the floor. It wasn't hard to get a treadmill, but the other machines was hard to get on (always taken). Bring headphones, they have t.v.s on all the treadmills.

And from the gym you can look down onto the bridge through large slanted windows while working out on the treadmills.
If you want to do an aerobic-class, you'd better show up early during your cruise to sign up for it. The room they're using for it is tiny and fills up very fast, so you have to be on the list to participate.

You don't have to bring your own headphones - they have them at the desk of the Vista spa - just ask for them.

I went in the late afternoon, and it was practically empty. Both DH and I said we had great workouts and joked they must be pumping in oxygen or something to make you feel better.

You know, Disney thinks of everything!

Just a reminder that you have to be 18 to use the gym....except for 2 times during the 7 day, when the kids club goes for 30 minutes during late seating dinner.
