Getting gains on vacay on the bday

[Matteon]

My birthday was today so I decided to take a week off and head out to the beach. When I got to the hotel I realized the fitness center actually had some dumbbells of heavier weights so I was able to get a good workout, but it got me thinking, how do you guys keep getting gains while on vacation.

I find a hotel that has a. A great gym. b. A great gym within walking distance. Even on my week long get aways during the winter I find a gym. You would be surprised at how many all inclusives have great gyms…

Was at the Marriott in downtown Chicago recent on a business trip … gym was every bit as big a nice as an anytime fitness. Nicer hotels now have cybex ans lifefitess equipment … especially in California. I do a lot of business in San Diego … great hotel gyms!

I cannot enjoy a vacation if I don’t get in workouts. I don’t feel accomplished if I take off normal routine. I’ll find an anytime fitness and pay their stupid $10 fee for a day or two here and there. I enjoy my days off work more after I work out.

I have to go to LA for some work later this month or early November. Are their gyms open? I am worried about that cause I’ll be there for two weeks.

Yes! Me and the wife travel with friends to Mexico every year and we get a lift in. Not hardcore but we do lift.

Not certain brother…hotel gyms were open in SD as recent as September… cannot speak to public gyms

 

[Rusty]

I’m gonna have to look into that one

 

[Matteon]

That’s at least what I try to do. I had a trip where there were no gyms or workout centers anywhere so I had to rough it a bit and got basically the equivalent of a strongman workout. We were out in the mountains so it was the best I could do.

The place im at has lifefitness gear too, but the leg machines only go up to around 250 so its not the best.

 

[Rusty]

Do high reps

I don’t it’s a vacation for a reason, your body needs it as much as your mind does.

 

[Matteon]

I’ve usually had the opposite experience, though mostly cause I go for cheaper places usually.

I got day passes to power lifting gym in area I didn’t want to leave

 

[Matteon]

Once I start working out I just cant stop lol. Seems like a common trend with a lot of things in my life.

Everything needs a break so if I’m on vacation I’m either camping/hiking or at the beach. So generally no lifting. It’s the only time I stop.
