Creator's Key Takeaways
The gym on Ventura is fine. It's not a patch on the rocking gym on Iona, and it's not even as good as the slightly older Arcadia, but it has enough kit to close your rings.
It's a bit of a ragtag collection of equipment, and it's been set out in a pretty much random order.
It isn't my favorite. In fact, it's the worst ship gym of the year so far.
If you allow the mediocrity of gym to stop you from exercising, that reflects more on your negative mindset.

Just a straight-talking breakdown of: • What the gym is actually like • Whether it’s usable or just decorative • How realistic fitness goals are on this ship • And whether Ventura helps… or gives you convenient excuses If you’re cruising Ventura and wondering: “Should I bother bringing gym gear?” “Can I keep my routine going?” Or “Am I about to lose all sense of self-respect by day three?” Here, ladies and gentlemen… WE GO!
