We have to be honest with you, we’ve never thought of using an airport gym before. In fact, we didn’t even know they existed until now. With the amount of time we spend waiting for our flights to board at the airport, they seem like a good use for the time. Here are all the details about the hidden gem.
Where are They?
While you’ll have trouble finding airport gyms in the United States, Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) has a ROAM Fitness. It’s a full-service gym with everything from treadmills and bicycles to dumbells and weight benches. Don’t worry, ROAM Fitness centers will be available in San Fransico International Airpot (SFO) shortly.
ROAM Fitness is the only gym available in the United States, but other airports offer other fitness amenities such as yoga and airport hotels offer days passes to their gyms.
Fitting it Into Your Schedule
When your about to spend tons of hours sitting on an airplane, finding any time for exercise is beneficial. You can prevent aches and pains that you experience from traveling for long periods of time by exercising. An added benefit of working out before a flight is you’ll tire yourself out, which will lead to better sleep on the plane.
Try doing a HIIT (high-intensity interval training) workout because you’ll get the most out of a workout when you have a limited amount of time. If you can’t see yourself exercising before your flight, just try and stay active and walk around the airport.
