Question about Fitness Facilities

[kmac77]

Hey All,

On the 22 day countdown, and had an interesting question that hopefully someone can help me with. I'm up at 5:15 a.m. each day to do the treadmill for an hour, and since we're staying at the Poly, I know that there are no fitness facilities there, but there are at the GF and the Contemporary. Question is, how do I get to either hotel that early? Thanks all.

Might I suggest the trails along The Polynesian and Grand Floridian to make up for your treadmill?

According to DisneyWorld.com ...

Disney's Polynesian Resort

• Scenic one-mile long trail along Seven Sea Lagoon and the perimeter of the Resort hotel grounds
• Extended pathway extends past the Tahiti building en route to the Transportation and Ticket Center, and the Fiji and Aotearoa buildings

Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

• 1.4 mile, unshaded trail along Seven Seas Lagoon
• Extended pathway continues on past the Wedding Chapel, offering a view of Magic Kingdom theme park

You might take a slight detour across the street to the military Shades of Green resort and run along the path that borders the Magnolia golf course. That's about .50 miles one way.

This might help you stay fitness fresh without taking any Disney transportation.


Here is the map of the trail at The Poly that connects to the Grand Floridian ...

CBR also has a nice jogging route as well and Ft. Wilderness resort. Allears.net has each resort listed w/ pictures and jogging maps- POFQ/POR has a very nice jogging trail. WL does too! I think that would work better than the treadmill- just my humble opinion.

No fitness for me on vacation!!! I get plenty if miles a day on my feet walking around all the parks!!!

POR has a reallly nice trail, I would go almost every morning and it was nice. I know the Boardwalk has a little gym area.

The GF Health Club is open 24 hours and is about a five to seven minute walk from the farthest poly house. I was there a few weeks back when at the GF and also when I stayed at the poly. Maybe one other person was using the facilities at that time (5:15 to 6:00am). GF health club has four treadmills and is a separate building from the GF.

All Deluxe and DVC resorts have facilities (or access to them, in the case of the Poly using the GF's facilities). Coronado Springs is the only Moderate with a fitness center, and none of the Values have them.

If you're at a resort that doesn't have facilities, you can go to the facilities at a resort that does and pay a daily fee. (I think it's $12, but I may be mistaken)
