Today Ethan (middle son) and I checked out the gym on the grounds. It is about a block from the townhouse and adjacent to the pool.
The gym was clean, quiet and honestly did not have the typical gym smells. In addition, it was completely empty. I ran Ethan through all of the machines so he would get a good understanding of how to use them all. The gym has zero free weights. All exercise equipment was machines. So, needless to say, I had to adjust my workout routine as I am mostly a free weight kind of guy.
The gym did have a good selection of machines.
- Treadmills
- Ellipticals
- Stationary bikes
- Bench press with incline capability
- Ab crunch and back extension
- Bicep curl and tricep press
- Lat pull down and lat row
- Leg curl and extension
- Leg press and calf extension
- Muti-machine with about 10 different exercises
It is the perfect gym for someone trying to keep fit, not for accelerated muscle growth. However, this is a vacation-type facility. And most people on vacation who would exercise are likely wanting to maintain rather than build; or stay toned instead of letting the flab creep.
It is going to be interesting working out here for the next few months. All in all, it is a fairly nice gym.
