Gym in St. John
 
Hi Everyone!

I'm back! After much deliberation, my husband and I decided NOT to stay at Caneel. We just didn't feel it was worth the $500+/night. So, we are staying at the In Harmony Retreat. It's a gorgeous new villa in Coral Bay! Since we won't be at Caneel, I need to find a gym on St. John so that my husband can work out a few days. I know, I know...we're on vacation, but he gets antsy if he doesn't work out. Thanks for your suggestions!! :-)

I believe the Westin has a fitness center, but the day passes are $20+ per day per person. And...you are on the opposite side of the island. I suggest swimming off of one on the north shore beaches to get some exercise. If you are a runner, the east side (Coral Bay) does have a few stretches of road that are flat and "runnable". Be careful with island traffic, however!

Here is the link to a gym. This has been newly purchased by a couple from New Jersy and they are doing some renovations. It is located at The Marketplace In Cruz Bay.

Thanks CaribbeanSoul for your suggestions. However, he isn't worried about cardio on vacation....he wants to lift weights! Brenandg, the link you sent was perfect! Thanks for your help! :-)

Glad I could help. Here is the link to the full story and some comments. Looks like he has some upgrading to do, but should suit your husband's needs for the week.

Looks great! My husband already had me call to ask about the heaviest set of dumbbells they carry! :-)
