Comments
It’s a decent little hotel gym but a bit tight on space.
The cable machine is in good condition, but I’d say the weight calibration is off by about 10 pounds (light).
Opening hours are 24/7.
What I found challenging was how small the space was versus how much equipment they tried to pack in. It’d be better to pull out a bike or treadmill and open the space up for movement.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes, it’s not often I come across a hotel gym with a cable machine/functional trainer, so when I do, I try to go back to those locations.

Comments
Pretty decent hotel gym for sure.
I did expect more from an Omni Resort property, but I suppose since this location is focused on golf, it’s not terribly surprising the gym is lacking a bit compared to other Omni properties.
I did appreciate that things are spaced out a bit and the available floor space is maximized with equipment placement. Dumbbells only go up to 50lbs/22kgs, but of course that’s typical of a hotel gym.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes.

Hampton Inn & Suites

Address: 5702 Challenger Parkway, Fort Wayne, Indiana 46818, USA
 
Time of visit: October 2021

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.

Does the hotel gym offer complementary towels? Yes.
Does the hotel gym offer complementary water? Yes.
 
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.
