Animal Kingdom Lodge Kidani Village - Survival of the Fittest Gym

Location Details:
3701 West Osceola Parkway
Lake Buena Vista, FL 32836

Hours: 24/7

Report / As-Of Date: July 2021
Notes: While this DVC gym is the smallest of the two gyms at Animal Kingdom Lodge, it used to feature a very wide array of selectorized strength machines (by LifeFitness IIRC). A recent refurb swapped out most if not all strength and cardio equipment for TechnoGym products and greatly reduced the number of strength machines.

TechnoGym makes some interesting multi-use products, two of which are now at this gym. Several old machines were replaced by the single multi-exercise cable tower which is a nice alternative for the user, but not great for others who may be left waiting. Fortunately, there are two utility benches available so you can do dumbbell work instead.

Free Weights

• 2 x Utility Bench, Adjustable
• 1 x Dumbbell Pairs, from 5 - 50 lbs each

Weight Machines

• 1 x Chest Press
• 1 x TechnoGym Vertical Traction (this is an interesting one for shoulder/back/biceps)
• 1 x Leg Extension

Other Weight Equipment

• 1 x TechoGym Multi-exercise Cable Tower

Cardio Equipment

• 4 x Treadmills
• 3 x Ellipticals
• 1 x Rower
• 2 x Bike, Upright
• 1 x Bike, Recumbent

Amenities

• Water
• Sanitizing Wipes
• Towels

This is a minor slightly off topic post, but in case you've wondered what gyms might be available to Cast Members, one posted this video of the Disney World Cast Member Fitness Center. No clues to where it is or if it's part of the larger CM health and wellness center tucked somewhere behind EPCOT.

Not resort hotels, but I figured this would interest any other gym rats or people whose kids may be gym rats and are looking into the DCP.



My son found a click-around virtual tour of the gym at some point when he started researching DCP. I can't find it now, but all I can say is, man, Disney, can we get some of that sweet Atlantis equipment over at the resort hotels, please?

I liked the dreadmills at the resort more than the ones at my local gym. Except for the lack of a fan.

No equipment breakout, but scanning youtube to see if all WDW resort gyms have swapped out their equipment, it appears that the best gym on proprty, Saratoga Springs, has remained pretty unchanged. Cardio equipment all appears to be Technogym, but the weight machines remain LF.
