Treadmill Use

There is not one nearby. About the best option is the cart path that runs from the All Star resorts up to the McDonald's at Osceola parkway that you could walk or run.

The Deluxe and DVC resorts have gyms. Actually, I found this tidbit on allearsnet.com in reference to the health clubs: "Guests of other Disney resorts may do so for $12 per day, based on availability". The closest one to All Stars would be Animal Kingdom Lodge.

My thought exactly. I cant even thinking of walking on a tredmill after 12hrs in the parks!:lol: Now I can see the question "how close is the hot tub?"

:ROFLOL: :ROFLOL: So true, after walking 10-15 miles each day, I'm not sure why you would need to walk on a treadmill too.

We took a pedometer with us one trip and found we walked an average of about 7 miles a day while at WDW.

Yeah, if walking through the parks isn't enough exercise, you could either pay the fees to use the gyms at the resorts that have them...or visit some of the resorts that have official jogging paths. I know Port Orleans and Carribbean have 'em. So does Wilderness Lodge/Fort Wilderness. Perhaps it's not as comfortable as a treadmill, but more scenic, and free.
If you think you're going to jog every day, and you really prefer a treadmill, maybe you should consider upgrading to the Coronado? It's the only moderate with a gym. It's still a big jump in price, but you'll have lots of other amenities, and you won't pay the 12 dollars a day to use a gym. And, since I have no idea if you're vacationing with a car, being onsite with a gym might benefit you, so you wo'nt have to spend all that extra time commuting to a resort that has one (Disney transportation is nice and all, but there are no buses that go from one resort to another, unless it's those resorts share buses that go to the parks. Otherwise, you'll have to go from All-Star to a park or DTD, and then take a bus there to the other resort).
One final thought. All-Star might not have official jogging paths, but there might be "unofficial" route people use to jog all the time, where you still have to deal with people walking (or maybe on a road, so you're dealing with cars), but won't have to travel or pay. The number at the front deak is 407-939-5000, and it'll only cost you the price of the phone call to ask the CMs there if they know where you can jog.

If you don't want to spend the money at a Deluxe Resort Health Club you could just "walk " on many of the ride treadmills. In the Epcot try the circular load/unload of SSE. The straight treadmills of the Nemo ride of "The Seas w/ Nemo & Friends". At the AK there is Kali River Rapids (circular). And at the MK there is PotC, HM, PPF, Buzz Lightyear, and the best: TTA. With the TTA you can "walk" the inclined ramps (the exit would be kind of like a "stair master") and the load/unload platform (circular)! :lol:
Seriously, if you are looking for a workout, you will walk about 6-7 miles a day in the parks. If you are lookig to jog there are "jogging paths" around the Epcot Resort area and between the Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness Campground. There may be others, I'm not sure. Just jog around all of the All Star Resorts. Here is a 1 mile jog around the All star Sports:
