If I book a massage at the Grand Floridian, can I use the fitness center?

I'm staying at a budget resort and don't access to a fitness center, but I wanted to do some strength training while I was on vacation next month. If I book a massage at the Grand Floridian, will that also get me access to the fitness center before or afterward?

Also, surely one can use the showers in the fitness center before a massage appointment? My plan was to tour the MK in the morning and early afternoon, then jot over the Grand Floridian for a midday massage. But I'd want to shower off beforehand and not be all sweaty or yucky from theme parking all morning.

I don't see why it would.

Fitness centers are for guests and the spa is bookable by anyone. I couldn't use the pool at a resort just because I booked dinner.

Would the spa not typically have a shower?

I ask because years ago at Saratoga Springs when I booked a spa, they told me when I arrived that I could also use the fitness center. I'm not sure if that was official policy or if things were just slow, though, and it was a different resort, so I wanted to check. If no one knows for sure here I'll call.

According to the official website, the fitness center is only for Grand Floridian guests. However, that doesn't mean they won't offer it to you when you arrive. And...that doesn't mean you'll get the same answer if/when you call, because Disney phone people.

So, unfortunately this is probably one of those things that you won't know until you get there. You can always take your stuff with you to have it and store it in a locker.

There are showers to use in the spa though, as well as a sauna and hydrotherapy pool/spa.

I want to say they used to let people pay a fee and use the SSR fitness center. They no longer do, but that may have been why it was offered.
