The hotel gym is open 24/7.
It had enough space for multiple people, enough equipment for all of us.

It’s a tiny little hotel gym, but the hotel was in a spectacular location! I doubt anyone uses the hotel gym. It’s a ski and hiking town.

Comments
The hotel gym is open from 6am to 10pm and it’s in amazing condition! I couldn’t fault it one bit. Everything seemed new, or very well looked after and sparkling clean.
I went between 7-8am most mornings and was the only person in there too – fantastic!
 
I loved that they had weighted medicine balls and a mat area!
It would’ve been really nice to have more than one barbell/squat rack. If there’d been someone else in the gym, it would’ve been annoying to wait for too long!
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes! I would definitely recommend this hotel gym to anyone!

Hampton Inn & Suites

Address: 5702 Challenger Parkway, Fort Wayne, Indiana 46818, USA

Equipment
Dumbbells go up to 50 lbs/22 kgs which is acceptable. However, one of the 40 lbs/18 kgs dumbbells is missing and one of the 30 lbs/13 kgs is broken resulting in the head falling off while in use.
The space is very tight and difficult to work within. I was trying to do flys on the bench and bumped into the bike and cross-trainer.
 
Cardio equipment includes a stationary bike, a cross-trainer and two treadmills.
 
They also have medicine balls, a Bosu ball (although flat) and foam rollers.
 
Does the hotel gym offer complementary towels? Yes.

Comments
The hotel gym is lacking house-keeping and equipment just isn’t well-maintained.

Comments
It’s a fully equipped hotel gym, but it’s terribly located in the hotel. I would expect a Ritz Carlton to have a view of the ocean, but this looks at the side wall of a building!
 
Of course, while in Miami, there’s a wonderful running path just outside the hotel, so the need for a treadmill is reserved for a rainy day. If you’re into bodybuilding, there’s a lot of weights to choose from.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Not sure – I’m always about the view, so I chose not to work out in the hotel gym and go outside and enjoy the fresh air.

The hotel gym is very clean – probably because it’s never used which is a shame because it’s very nice.
