Irvine Marriott, Irvine California 7.5/10 Good, not great. Has everything that you need. But nothing fancy. Clean. Can get busy in the early AM. Some bonus points for also having an outdoor Pilates, yoga, and medicine ball area by the pool.

Hotel Kameha, Zurich Switzerland 7.25/10 Small but solid. One single apparatus is carrying the score for this gym. That bold gold cable tower/smith machine/pull bars is a huge bonus making up for an otherwise lackluster gym. -not great treadmills, they shake -decent bikes -dumbbells up to 30 kilos…very nice -huge TV and some other stuff I’ll never use. Floor to ceiling windows is a bonus

Renaissance Tampa International Plaza 7.75/10 Design and layout aren’t inspiring, but it’s getting a decent score due to having some unique machines. -Hate the powered treadmills they have, but manual slatted belt curved treadmills are a great novelty for a hotel gym. -step mill is nice to have -good multi function cable machines -dumbbells up to 50 -box jump pads -kettle bells

Towneplace Suites, Lakeland FL 5.75/10 This is honestly better than I expected for one of these “roadside” non-full-service hotels. Was 100% expecting to walk in and give this a 2.5 or something. Better than what you would find at most hotels like this. Decent treadmills Dumbbells up to 50 Cable tower Clean, large windows with blinding sunlight

Essex House, JW Marriott, Manhattan NYC 6.25/10 Pretty meh, but not horrible for NYC hotel gyms. Dumbbells up to 45 (strange) Kettle bells Good cable machine Bad treadmills, but who needs them when you’re right on Central Park Pelotons Some machines, nothing special, depressing paint, small windows Underwhelming for what you’d expect in a JW Marriott, but understandable due to old historic building and NYC limitations.

Indianapolis Marriott Downtown. 7/10 It’s got mostly everything you need but nothing “extra.” Would probably be a 6.75 if not for the cool windows in front of and above the treadmills. Good treadmills Dumbbells up to 50 Cable station Kettle bells 2 pelotons Some machines Good enough for a post game workout, but in the future I’ll be staying at the Weston or JW Marriott just for their excellent gyms.

Westin Indianapolis Downtown 8.25/10 Was really surprised at how good this gym is. Good treadmills, pelotons, step mills, rower, smith machine w/ free weights, 2x dumbbells, two cable towers, trx, box jumps, kettle bells, battle ropes, yoga and Pilates section, something for everyone. This is a really well thought out gym. Clean, high ceilings, good view/not in a basement.

JW Marriott, Indianapolis, IN, USA 8.5/10 One of the better Marriott gyms you’ll find in this part of the country. They have pretty much any kind of weights, machines and cardio equipment you could want. Same problem as most hotels and dumbbells only up to 50 lbs. Floor to curling windows on 3 sides. Chilled towels are a nice touch!

if you're going to 2049 Singapore in September, the Capthorne Waterfront hotel is decent, and affordable, and has a solid gym

finding a great hotel gym is often a huge struggle here's a Pro Tip: if the city has a Soho House hotel/club, often the gyms are significantly better than most hotels in town, especially in major cities like Barcelona as shown here 🎇 I'm not even a member at Soho (not a fan of the clubs). Anyone can book the hotels, and you can buy a "soho friends" plan for $130 which gives you 10% to 20% off of Soho House Hotels without the expensive club membership. Well worth it! https://www.sohohouse.com/en-us/membership/soho-friends
