Workout Areas???

[stephwynn]

Hi
I am relatively new to these boards...have posted a couple of questions, but this one I can't seem to find an answer to...leaving two weeks from today!!!, and wondering about any type of gym/workout facilities. DH is a gym fanatic (min 5 days a week), but we are staying at CBR, (kids request), and it appears that there are NO workout areas there. We knew this on booking, but being the nice DW that I am, I am just trying to find out what alternatives he might have once we are there. (It might give the two DD's and myself some time to hit the outlet malls!!!)

Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks

You can jog at CBR, and I'm pretty sure there's one of those things with all the equipment that you find on jogging trails.

Otherwise, some of the health clubs at the other resorts will allow non-resort guests to use them for a fee.

The "jogging trail" is basically just through the resort. It is not like some that you'll find in parks with some upper body equipment on them as well. There are no facilities at the CBR, or any other WDW resort "running trail" for anything but "street type" running.

The only health club open to non-guests of the resort is the GF Spa and health club, and there is a fee for using it. That facility is about a 15 minute drive from CBR. It is not easy to get to early in the morning without a car, during the day you can take the bus to the MK then transfer to the monorail for the GF. Allow minimum 45 minutes travel time door to door. You can buy a weekly pass for that facility.

My advice would be to have him bring along his Therabands for upper body work, and he can run for his lower body.
