Hotel Fitness Centers

Excercise machines I want in a hotel fitness center...

I almost always use hotel fitness centers, unless I am totally exhausted from travel or working, or from both. :-) A gym of sorts is a must-have hotel amenity, for me.

What do I like in the fitness center? I usually use a pull-down bar, lats press, leg press and butterfly machine. So a nautilus-type gym with multiple options is great for me.

A handful of free weights is a plus, too.

I also use a treadmill or elliptical trainer, preferably. Lacking those I will use a stair stepper or cycle, but those can be really tough on your knees.

What else? I like a mat to stretch on, a water cooler for bottle refills...and most of all, a TV. I will even plan my workouts around watching the game.

What game? Football or basketball, please. And I live for the Lakers. Go Wildcats! Yeah, Cowboys!

...Okay, don't get me started...
