Sorry I have no idea. I usually look for anyplace to get outside and walk/jog/wog when I'm in The World. Hoping someone can offer the info for you.

Thanks!

I used it when we was there earlier this year. I didn't take pictures, but it had some free weights, a couple Nautilus machines (or a similar brand), two or three exercise cycles, a couple of elliptical trainers, and four treadmills. It wasn't huge, but, given that most people don't go to WDW and exercise, it was never very busy. Over the course of several days, I only had to wait once for a treadmill.

was there TVs with good programs/movies on?

Thanks SAHDad! (I'm also streaking, but I missed a day and had to start over after 55 days, I'm back up to 32 days and I don't plan on stopping just because we are in Disney - good luck to you!)

Yes, there were TVs, but I didn't pay attention to what was on. News, I think, but there were four or five TVs in front of the treadmills and elliptical, and I pretty much ignored them. I was only running for 15-20 minutes, and wasn't likely to do more than glance at headlines anyway.

I've used the exercise room at AKL several times while we've been there. As I recall, it opens about 6 am and closes about 8 pm. I try to go before we go to the parks, and it becomes very busy about 7, so I try to get there by 6:30 or so to avoid the rush and to get a machine I want to use (some are better than others, but, since I haven't been to AKL since last June, I can't say which). There is a posted time limit of 30 minutes, but, if it isn't crowded, I might just switch machines at 30 minutes. Otherwise, to be a good sport, I just go for 30.
