Sturdy Branches Gym

[#1MMFan]

Has anyone any experience of using this facility? I am staying at WL in November and am wanting to keep my (new found) fitness level up while there. Is there a daily/length-of-stay charge, or is it free to Resort guests, and what is the equipment like? I have tried to search for photos of this facility, without success.

Cheers.

It is free to guests. I don't "do" the gym on vacation (or most other times either)!!

I did peek in while we were there in June and was overall impressed with the facility -- looked very clean with a fair amount of equipment. There was no one in there either. I can't say what types/brands of equipment they had because I really just stuck my head in the door for a minute.

I looked around online for some photos, but couldn't find any quickly either.

Did you check the Wilderness Lodge FAQ thread - there might be some in there, or even the DVC Villas @ WL threads (the gym is in the Villas building).

Here's one pic I found:

The facility is good. I've had a massage over there and the treatment rooms are nice As the PP said, if you're staying at WL then use of the fitness center is complimentary.

Thanks very much. I don't normally do the gym thing either, but I'm paranoid I'm going to lose a certain amount of fitness while I'm away from home (as I'm in WDW for 3 weeks) - and plenty of ice-creams too. I'll have to make the effort.

I used it every morning of our stay last summer. It suited the purpose with exercise machines and some free weights. I believe they have a jogging trail map to if you want to get out and run

Yeah, there is a jogging trail. I have been at WL many times but just have never had the opportunity (desire!) to use the gym. Thanks for the responses guys!
