spa and exercise equipment?

[nursegardener]

Hello everyone!

We are sailing our second Disney cruise onboard the Magic in January but when we were on the Wonder last October we never made it to the fitness room. Just curious - what particular machines are there, i.e. Nautilus and what type of cardiovascular machines also?? DH and I have been going faithfully to the "Y" 3 times a week to shape up before our Jan. cruise. The YMCA where we go has about 25 different pieces of Nautilus equipment. I would appreciate any info on each different machine - if you have used it or remember - and how many treadmills and elliptical trainers there are!!

Thanks in advance for all the help!

Hi Karen! There are about 5 treadmills, a stair climber, rowing machine and a couple of Lifecycles. There are also weight machines and free weights. It's a small fitness center but well-equipped enough to get a decent workout.

If you would like to see the equipment, we have photos of the workout area on our website at: www.castawayclub.com

I am pretty sure the weight machines are CYBEX. I don't recall the brand of the cardio equipment but the treadmills were very nice and very smooth. The room gets pretty crowded. Try to get there early or at off times.

Oh! and definitely no ellipticals when I was there Sept. 2000. I know because that is my favorite cardio. I had to use the treadmill. I doubt they have added any since the fitness center is fairly small.

Is the fitness center usually pretty crowded? If so, when are the good times to go?

PiperG -

Maybe we'll be fighting over the machines - I see we're going the same week!!

Can't wait - can you??

Hello nursegardener

We definitely can't wait. We fly in the night before. . . .hotel and air have been booked for months. I am completely addicted to these boards and need a fix every day.

The "under 200 day" mark is coming up soon. That will feel good.

They actually have elipticals now. We were on the 2/23/02 cruise and were the first to use them. They are pretty good. The stride is slightly shorter than my lifefitness. You do have to get there really early. They have sign up sheets for the day for the elipticals and the treadmills. Each machine has a letter and you sign up for that machine for a specific half hour. Of course, you may have to kick someone else off since some people don't notice or just ignore the sheets.

Enjoy!
