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.

Yes, surely!

Equipment is decent.
Lack of towels may be due to the Covid-19 situation.
I was there on a Sunday so it is not quite as clean as I would hope a gym to be but perhaps they are down staffed.
Being in Miami, I am only going to use the weights and do my cardio outside as there is no view in the gym.

A great and clean gym with new equipment and everything you could need.
 
It’s a little tight but they’ve used the space well. However, I can imagine it would be hard during busy season to find space to workout.

Opening hours are from 7am to 7pm but it would be much more convenient if one could access it earlier.
