HotelFit scores hotel gyms with a rigorous 100-point inspection — so you know exactly what you're walking into before you check in.
No photos from the hotel website. No guesswork. Every review is conducted in-person with our 54-point checklist.
Our team visits every hotel gym in person — as staying guests, day pass visitors, or press access requests. The same 54-point checklist applies every time. Access method is always disclosed in the review.
Every checklist item carries a fixed point value. No fudging for brand loyalty or star ratings. A budget hotel with a great gym will outscore a five-star with a broken treadmill.
Points tally to a score out of 100 and map to one of five tiers. A full written review breaks down every category so you can decide what matters most for your workout style.
Every hotel earns a score out of 100 and a tier — so you know at a glance whether it's worth packing your gym bag.
Every review is conducted in person using our 54-point checklist. Access method is always disclosed. Scores are never influenced by how we got in the door.
The only hotel gym that made us question why we have a gym membership. A full squat rack, Technogym equipment throughout, and cleanliness that would embarrass most standalone fitness centers.
Reliable cardio floor but the free weight selection tops out at 50 lbs. Perfectly adequate for a morning run — less so if you planned to deadlift.
Don't let the three stars fool you. Compact but intelligently designed, with dumbbells to 75 lbs and the cleanest equipment we've seen at this price point.
HotelFit was born at 6 AM in a hotel room, staring at a dumbbell rack that stopped at 30 lbs — after paying $400 a night. There had to be a better way to know before you check in.
We built a 54-point inspection checklist drawing on backgrounds in physical therapy, personal training, and professional gym design. Every hotel gym we review gets the same treatment: an in-person visit, every item checked, a score out of 100 that tells you exactly what you're walking into.
No sponsored rankings. No affiliate scores. No PR photos from the hotel's marketing department. Just an honest assessment from people who know what a good gym looks like.
Money buys access and visibility. It never buys the score. A hotel that pays for a sponsored inspection and earns a 42 gets a published score of 42. Every paid engagement is disclosed. The checklist is the verdict.
