HOTEL GYM RATER

Time of visit: October 2021

There’s a nice selection of pin-operated machines – for example, chest presses, leg curls, lat pull-downs and seated rows.

There’s also a cable machine and a Smith machine plus kettlebells and a solid selection of dumbbells including two adjustable benches and an incline bench.

If you’re looking for a cardio-based workout, there’s a handful of treadmills, three cross-trainers, two stationary bikes and a rowing machine.

Does the hotel gym offer complimentary towels? Yes.

Does the hotel gym offer complimentary water? Yes.

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.

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.
