Athletic-Minded Traveler

36,000 square feet of renovated sweat space is available at this health club. If you have never seen a cardio cinema, this sweatbox has two to choose from. Think large dark room with a high ceiling and an entire wall with a movie-size screen--cardio equipment is lined up facing the screen to watch while you work out.

All the top manufactured machines are offered here as well as more classes than you can count. $15/24-hours is the going rate for non-members. If you're staying at the Quality Inn, located next door, you can walk to Platinum Fitness and work out here for free. 

They claim to have a "lap pool", but its 47-foot length and lack of bottom stripes or floating lines make swimming to and fro complicated. We would look elsewhere for a serious lap dip.
