Creator's Key Takeaways

The gym on Independence of the Seas is located in the Vitality Spa and Fitness Center on deck 11 right at the front of the ship.

The gym is huge and has a vast amount of different machines.

The great thing about the gym is that you can exercise with fantastic views of the ocean if you're at sea or sights of the port of call.

Bonus that not everyone's aware of, and that is that the fitness center also has free of charge to use showers, sauna, and stream room, which is fantastic after you've had a workout or even just want a little bit of quiet time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the free cushion mats for exercises.
Help yourself to towels stored around the gym.

In the video you’ll see: • Cardio machines: treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes. • Strength / weight area: benches, free weights (dumbbells), weight machines. • Functional / multi-use zones: open floor space for stretching, body-weight work, mats, perhaps rubber flooring. • Sauna / wellness area: in some versions (especially the 360° gym + sauna video) you see adjacent sauna rooms or glass doors to sauna compartments. • Mirrors along walls to check form. • Perhaps TV screens or entertainment displays near cardio machines. • Good lighting (both ambient and spot) to illuminate the machines and floor #cruiseship #royalcaribbean x#royalcaribbeancruise #gym
