It’s too hot, way too hot in the hotel gym. Despite several complaints, not just by me, and being promised it’d be taken care of, it never felt any cooler.
 
It would’ve been nice if there’d been less cardio equipment and more strength-training equipment. It was also disappointing to see that attachments for the cable machine were limited.

The complimentary water comes from the water fountain outside the entrance.
The hotel gym is clean, and I loved the huge mirror.

The dumbbells don’t get heavy enough.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Not sure. The hotel gym is too small, and the limited equipment means that I have to revamp my entire workout routine. It also means I’m having to fill the gap with cardio which I don’t really like.

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

Hotel: Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort 
Address: 2005 Kalia Road, Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii 96815, USA
 
Time of visit: February 2022

There’s a nice selection of dumbbells with lots of high weights – up to 100 lbs/45 kgs.
 
The gym had cross trainers, stair masters, and rowing machines in addition to a row of treadmills. In the weights section it included everything you need for a solid workout: a shoulder press, chest press, leg press, leg extension, leg curl, and a lat pull down machine. However, several machines surprisingly had signs saying, “out of order”.
 
Does the hotel gym offer complimentary towels? Yes.
Does the hotel gym offer complimentary water? Yes.
 
Comments
The surprise to me was that the weights went as heavy as they did – often hotel gyms only go up to 50 lbs/22 kgs, but their weight racks went up to 100 lbs/45 kgs. The lighter weights (5 lbs/2 kgs to 30 lbs/13 kgs) were in constant demand in the morning. There were actually some people using the heavier weights, which was fun. However, it would’ve been more helpful to have more of the lower weights, and maybe go up by 10 lbs/4 kgs on the heavier weights, as they were in less demand.
 
The lat pull-down machine wasn’t my favorite type. Since the leg press was the kind of leg press where you’re pushed back rather than pushing the weights away from your body which limits the range of motion, nor was it my preferred leg press machine.
 
Cleanliness was very good, and they had many fresh towels, sprays to wipe down equipment, and options of pre-moistened cleaning wipes.
 
The gym was extremely crowded every morning we used it, and it gets pretty hot in there with masks required.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes, it’s a great hotel gym!
