Ship Shape at YBC

[Donna3271]

Hi All,
We usually stay at the Poly, and just returned from GF. I use the healthclub daily. They have the Villas, GF and the Poly sharing one gym, and it is often a wait for the treadmills, and NOWHERE TO SHOWER or put a gym bag.

We recently stayed at AKL, and the gym was PERFECT! Our upcoming trip is at the BC. Can someone tell me about the heath club? is there a place to shower? A decent amount of treadmills? 24 hour access? And is it accessible from the resort, or do you have to go outside?

TIA to all for any help!!!!!!

I am going to post your question over on the Beach & Yacht Club FAQ board for additional feedback from guests who have used the workout room at the resort. There are pictures and some info in Post 5 on Page 1 of that thread. Click on the link in my signature.

Yes, there is a locker room and shower in the space shared by the health club and the spa, which is run by an outside company.

A couple of years back, the spa management started restricting use of the showers to guests who wanted to use the area after using Stormalong Bay. I thought that people who were working out in the health club were still permitted to use the shower, but I'm not positive.

If access is restricted to only spa guests, there is another option.

In April, changing rooms with showers (male/female/unisex) were opened near the healthclub, but you would have to exit the health club to use them.


The door to the health club is sort-of outside. You get there through the hallways of the Beach or Yacht Club, but the spa itself is in an open-air part of the resort, sort of like the entrance to Beaches & Cream restaurant.

Not sure about 24 hour access.
