Most of the time, hotel fitness centers are dismal, bare-bones affairs. And because hotel gym don’t turn over profits—unlike restaurants, meeting spaces, spas, and bars—they’re usually doomed to languish with nothing but a saddleworn treadmill and a few rusting dumbbells.

Fortunately, there are some shining, glorious exceptions to that rule. At some hotels, it’s obvious that the management (and the guests) prize every square inch of fitness space. With next-level amenities, impressive facilities, and training offerings to rival any Equinox, these hotel gyms are fantasy fitness playgrounds that make any trip worth it. In fact, some are so kickass, locals pay a monthly membership to join in. The benefit? Total access to facilities, high-level training, and countless perks: free parking, discounted spa treatments, saunas, and (best of all) no crowds.

So whether you’re checking in as a guest or visiting as a local fitness junkie, check out these seven top-notch hotel gyms that defy expectations and will help push your workouts to the limit.

It’s rare for a sports club to add guest rooms—it’s a huge financial gamble—but Los Angeles Athletic Club (aka LAAC) in downtown LA has parlayed it into a unique business model. This century-old members-only club (members have included Charlie Chaplin, surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku, and General George Patton) now boasts a 72-room boutique hotel, 80,000 sq. feet of circuit-training gym, cycling studio, indoor lap pool, aerobics room, basketball court and squash court, with a robust fitness schedule that includes everything from yoga and Pilates to kickboxing (with bags) and water aerobics. It’s also well known for organized group classes, like water polo and basketball, and more than 100 Olympic medalists and professional athletes have trained here, from Mitch Gaylord to Arnold Schwarzenegger. When you’re done with your workout, hit up Fresh8, which serves up protein bites and green juices. While it’s a private club for members ($650 initiation fee/starting at $116/month), hotels guests can use the facility for free.
