Comments
The ceiling is really low which means that you’re likely to hit it during burpees even if you aren’t tall.
Biggest complaint is that we were requested to use supplies to disinfect, but there were no supplies to do so!

This review is for the outdoor gym, not their regular indoor gym since that was closed because of COVID-19. Masks required at all times.
The hotel gym was relocated outdoors on a lawn with very realistic Astroturf and covered by a large tent.
 
It’s very spacious and cool. The service is great! Attendant hands you a towel and water and will clean up after you use the equipment.

The equipment wasn’t too worn, but you could tell that updates don’t happen too frequently. There were a few exposed cables protruding from the floor at one of the stations.
The selection of dumbbells was sparse – maybe only four sets between the 2 to 20 kg sets available.

Although a five star gym doesn’t make or break my hotel experience, it would be nice to have access to a fitness facility that meets all my needs, e.g. a flat bench with barbells, more dumbbells to choose from and a TRX station.

Comments
Eau Palm Beach was formerly a Ritz Carlton and as far as hotel gyms, it’s the best I’ve been in so far! This five-star resort surpassed my expectations!
The gym was spotless! Spinning room, barre/yoga studio and a variety of exercises classes were offered. Equipment was well maintained or on the newer side.
The design of the gym itself was very good and spacious. However, I would have liked more of a view. You could see outside but not directly.

W Hotels never disappoint!
The hotel gym is situated on the south side of the building with a view of the ocean and pool deck.
The gym itself was very clean. With a 10 person capacity it may be tight during peak times in a 500 unit hotel but I was there in the middle of the day and it was fine.
The hotel also offers roof top spinning class, beach yoga and boot camp on the beach.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes, surely!
