Get swole away from home

If you’re like us, we know a lot of you hate traveling for one specific reason. It messes up your hard earned gainz. Besides not being able to prepare your own meals, life on the go rarely provides you with the time or equipment needed to maintain the physique of someone with a serious fitness lifestyle. The average Best Western as well as other budget hotels will provide you with an elliptical machine at best and many don’t carry large weights. Wait a minute, that kind of sounds like another gym we know, it’s purple and they carry a lunk alarm for oversized homosapians, but I digress.

While hotel gyms of yesteryear included a small room with a few broken down treadmills, fitness is on the rise, and luckily for us certain high end hotels are starting to catch on. Thank you guy decked out in the most expensive Nike Gear barely pedaling on the stationary bike. Your half hearted interest in gyms just put fitness on the map!
