This fitness-focused hotel chain has workout equipment in every single room
Those globetrotting muscles won't tone themselves. For some, vacation's a time to plop down on a beach lounger and not get up again until they're tan and drunk. But for those gym rats who'd never compromise their gains by skipping a workout — or miss out on the endorphin rush from getting their heart rate up — one hotel chain with four locations in New York City more than has your sweat sesh covered. 4 EVEN Hotels all have fitness equipment in every single room. EVEN Hotel EVEN Hotels has 26 locations in the US — with one in Brooklyn, one in Queens, and two in Midtown Manhattan. And every single room at each location is stocked with its own fitness equipment, meaning guests don't have to go anywhere to get some exercise. 'The in-room fitness zones are perfect for quick workouts on your own schedule, with no commute and no excuses,' John Beck, the Regional Operations Director of EVEN Hotel Times Square South, told The Post. Though the exact equipment varies by location, the Times Square South hotel outfits every guest with a yoga mat, resistance bands, a stability ball, core sliders and a fitness wall with guided stretch and strength routines. On-demand fitness classes are also available on the TVs. 4 The Times Square South hotel outfits every guest with a yoga mat, resistance bands, a stability ball, core sliders and a fitness wall with guided stretch and strength routines. EVEN Hotel 'It's a versatile setup that lets guests squeeze in a solid workout, or a moment of mindfulness, without even leaving their room,' he said. And if you need a bit more space or equipment, there's always the full-size gym with machines like rowers and stationary bikes. It's no surprise, then, that Beck says a lot of visitors are in town for fitness events, including marathons and yoga retreats. 'One of my favorite recent stories was a guest in town for the NYC Half Marathon who told us they chose EVEN specifically because they could stretch and foam roll right in their room pre-race and recover with smoothies and protein-packed meals afterward,' Beck said. 'Guests consistently tell us how refreshing it is to stay at a hotel that doesn't throw their routine off-track.' 4 If you need a bit more space or equipment, there's always the full-size gym with machines like rowers and stationary bikes.

EVEN Hotel Since the first EVEN Hotels opened back in 2014, some other travel chains have started filling guest rooms with exercise tools. Several Hilton-brand hotels offer 'Five Feet to Fitness,' with about a dozen different pieces of equipment and accessories available in-room. These include a Gym Rax storage bay, a kiosk with guided exercises and classes, a TRX and a stationary bike. Near New York City, the closest locations are the DoubleTree by Hilton Newark Penn Station and Hilton Garden Inn Islip. Still wondering what kind of exercise you can do in such a limited space? Personal trainer Krista Stryker — also known as 'The 12 Minute Athlete, also the title of Stryker's book, blog and app — designed workouts that could be done in her small Brooklyn apartment. She previously shared a 12-minute routine with The Post, consisting of six exercise. Do each for 30 seconds, resting for 10 seconds in between rounds, until a 12-minute timer runs out: Burpees Body-weight squats High-knee sprints Push-ups Jump lunges Russian twists
